best of frolic! 2012: june-december

Here's part two of my round-up! Thanks for tagging along with me this year, you guys! It's been fun!

Peony-farm

In early June, Jess and I trecked out to the Peony farm

Midsummer-skansen

At the end of June, I rented my apartment out and took off for Stockholm (work in tow, of course!). It was a dream come true to return (my first visit was in 2009) and I felt so happy to be there during Midsummer! It's quite possibly the loveliest thing I've ever experienced.

I had to pop into Rosendals Tradgard, my happy place. Here are my 10 Favorite Things from Stockholm.

I fell in love with the wild Swedish gardens.

Strawberry

For most of July I was in the Berlin area. Between the city and the country. I stayed with my friend Juliane in Spreewald. One day we made this strawberry wildflower cake.

Spreewald-garden

I spent a lot of time at this charming organic cutting garden when I was in Spreewald and made some bouquets of course. Here are my 10 favorites from Spreewald and Berlin.

Woodsman

Lisa and I put together this piece for Kinfolk about The Woodsman Market.
