back from new hampshire… it was nice to be in the country and surrounded by nature. it’s still so warm (hot!) in new york city, but it’s fall up there. the leaves were so beautiful, really striking visually. got some vintage goodies, as usual… i find the best stuff up there. vintage dresses for $3! and some mugs for the collection.

we stopped on the way back and bought a couple plants. i loved these plants in stockholm (and in the wild in the swedish countryside), so i’m glad they are here too. does anyone know what they are called? something with a “c” i think. i saw the name on one of the plants at the nursery, but the one i brought home is missing the tag.

  1. Calluna vulgaris? Whatever they are called, I love them too. They grow in the wild around here.

  2. in french we call it ‘bruyère’. i like it very much. i photographed some of them in brittany. waiting for my film to be printed.

  3. hi lena, it’s also called scotch heather commonly here in the u.s.
    love your blog & your photos here really capture a beautiful feeling of fall!

  4. it was warm in portland, m.e. over the weekend, but definitely autumnal.
    where do you go antiquing in n.h.?

  5. In swedish the plant is called “ljung”. It comes with white flowers as well, very nice. Here in Sweden superstitious people say it´s bad luck to grow them indoors, don´t ask me why 🙂
