I thought I'd just show you a couple (or three) of my birthday presents. These are all from H&M Home! From my parents, naturally, 'cause you can only buy that stuff in Scandinavia (as far as I know).

In the picture above is a socalled hamam towel. It has a lovely texture to it, but I don't think I would use it as a towel. Instead I am going to use it as a (wide!) table runner. Very sophisticated with the gray and white stripes, no? :-)

Then, this fab bag. I am just in love with that image. So happy and busy and colourful. And so very 70s!

The bag didn't come alone, it came in a set with this huge piece of fabric. It is hemmed and everything. But there is no indication as to what it is for in the catalogue, it's just called 'fabric'. Very puzzling. But hey, I don't mind a large piece of fab fabric! Just haven't quite decided what to use it for. Unfortunately, I don't think my dear husband would like it as a bed spread - he's so boring! ;-)

And then there is this actual table runner. I really like this sort of drawings. A bit difficult to see it in this photo, pre-ironing. Still not been ironed, but what can ya do, eh?

Here you can see the drawings a lot better. Aren't they pretty? And, only when I was taking these pictures, did I notice that there are actually stitches here and there on the drawing! I know, it is made in Malaysia or something so it's not like it is 'handmade', if you know what I mean! But I still think it is a nice design touch. Gives it more dimension if you will.
