Alvhem Mäkleri & Interiör is this wonderful Swedish shop/cafe/relator (I know, I don’t get it either).  Their properties and photos are so gorgeous!

I love Etsy mail

I got the sweetest email from Lara of the lovely laralewis.etsy.com about a week ago and it totally made my day!  She sent me the most wonderful necklace and I just received it today.  I can’t take it off!  Love!  The beautiful stone color is called “black diamond” and its a gorgeous sparkly gray/green.  So beautiful!
