A conversation with Niina behind the blog Souvenirs.
A blog that i find incredibly beautiful and inspiring, a blog that i have been reading for a long long time. Her writings are soothing for the soul
and her photos are truly like sweet eye-candy.
Enjoy!
Niina: To me, pictures are like souvenirs of life. They are memories of all the things I've done and all the places I've been. Memories of the past years and reached dreams. They are also memories of just ordinary life and everyday things. A smile of a child, evening sun, bunch of flowers on a night table, a good book,afternoon tea. Memories of all those big and small moments.
As I said - they are memories of life.
Can you tell us a little bit about what it was that made you start your own blog?
Niina: After reading some really beautiful and inspiring blogs for a while I started to wonder about what it would be like to have my own blog. And finally in January 2009 i started my first blog Muruinen. It took me a while to figure out what kind of blog i wanted to have but slowly it started to look more and more like me. Muruinen was a really nice place but after 1,5 years of blogging i needed a change (like bigger pictures:)) soo therefore on July 2010 i started Souvenirs.
Niina: I don't have time to write a real diary (I would love to, it actually was my New Year's Resolution to start writing on one but I don't know where all my time goes). So therefore Souvenirs is bit like a diary to me. I love sharing my photos and i also like to sit down and write a little but I try to keep a line between my personal life and my blog.
I've started to see things differently and more closely after having my own blog and also after taking more pictures. I'm always "on", looking and seeking for beautiful things, moments and images. There's a lot of beauty out there and I feel so lucky to notice it.
What inspires you?
Niina: I know it sounds like a cliché but I get my inspiration from everywhere. It's hard to specify it because anything can be beautiful or interesting.
PS: Niina also has her own blogshop

Hei Vibeke. Jeg ble helt varm i hjertet da jeg leste kommentaren du hadde lagt igjen hos meg. Med det mener jeg at det var hyggelig å høre noen ord fra deg igjen. Jeg har jo vært litt fraværende med bloggingen en stund, men kommer alltid tilbake. Det er kos at du også holder på enda. Håper alt er vel med deg. Jeg så forresten bilde av kjøkkenet ditt i en annen blogg forleden. :-))) Ha en fin helg videre, så blogges vi....
ReplyDeleteHei Vibeke:)
ReplyDeleteDet går over all forventning med strikkingen (nå skal det sies at jeg ikke hadde de største forventningene..hehe). Jeg traff min inspirasjonskilde på Husfliden og hun har inspirert meg til å tørre.. Så nå har jeg strikket både votter i Vamsegarn som jeg har tovet lett, og heklet(!!) en haug med pulsvarmere i et nydelig alpakkagarn (MITU) som blir bare bløtere og bløtere ved bruk. Som du skjønner koooser jeg meg.
Nå skal jeg igang med et skjerf/hals ala den i den øverste bilde på innlegget ditt. Tenkte jeg skulle finne en fin rustfarge.
Må bare ta det litt sakte da kroppen verker hvis jeg strikker for mye, men planene er mange.
Ønsker deg en fortsatt fin helg:)
Nina definitely has the eye for photographs!
ReplyDeleteliiiiker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
