Trust,

Trust - What is a trust? Why do we trust? What happens if we trust? Questions like that comes always in our mind if something happens.

Trust is both and emotional and logical act. Emotionally, it is where you expose your vulnerabilities to people, but believing they will not take advantage of your openness. Logically, it is where you have assessed the probabilities of gain and loss, calculating expected utility based on hard performance data, and concluded that the person in question will behave in a predictable manner. In practice, trust is a bit of both. I trust you because I have experienced your trustworthiness and because I have faith in human nature.
We feel trust. Emotions associated with trust include companionship, friendship, love, agreement, relaxation, comfort. There are a number of different ways we can define trust. Here are the dimensions of trust and consequent definitions.
When we trust other people, we may not only be giving them something in hope of getting something else back in the future, we may also be exposing ourselves in a way that they can take advantage of our vulnerabilities. If I buy a car from you and I do not know a good price, you can lie to me so you get a better bargain. If I tell you in confidence about the problems I am having with work, you could use this to further your own career at my expense.
Although the threat of retribution or projected feelings of guilt can counteract your temptation to abuse my exposed vulnerabilities, if you succumb I still get hurt and may still end up with the shorter stick. For our transaction to complete successfully, I must be able to trust that such agonies will not come to pass.

 In the end, there are 4 different deffinitions o f trust:
1: Trust means being able to predict what other people will do and what situations will occur. If we can surround ourselves with people we trust, then we can create a safe present and an even better future.
2: Trust means making an exchange with someone when you do not have full knowledge about them, their intent and the things they are offering to you.
3: Trust means giving something now with an expectation that it will be repaid, possibly in some unspecified way at some unspecified time in the future.
4: Trust means enabling other people to take advantage of your vulnerabilities—but expecting that they will not do this. 

 But what happens if our trust will be betrayed? How should we feel when about ourselves? Should be feel shamed, because we trust other people and they just betray us? How should we feel happy if some things are making us sad. How should we behave? So many things and thoughts and questions will rise just one small word up. What should we do, if our heart will be teared to parts and mind will be messed around by thoughts?

Kosta,

This weekend I visited a nice small village called Kosta in southern part of Sweden. It is more than 16 miles from my home. Than makes 160 km because 1 mile in Sweden is 10 km.
Visiting Kosta was very interesting for me, but I must admit, I really liked it. I had once possibility in couple of years ago to visit glassblower in Estonia and it was interesting to see this time how it is. I loved it. I really like glass and products made of glass. Most what Kosta is known are Kosta Boda glassblowing and its designers. A little bit more about Kosta Boda can be read here and more about Kosta Bodas products can be read here and products can also be bought via online shop. In Kosta is also more shops. Information can be found here.
Kosta is a part of Glasriket. More about other places what belongs to Glasriket can be read here.  I must admit, that was just a beginning for me to visit the Glasriket. Already now we are planning to go visit also other places what belongs to Glasriket, because we found it fascinated and absolutely fabulous. It was really interesting and we want to see more. Next visit to Glasriket will be before our wedding, since we want to find a special present for us.

This time in Kosta we visited also some shops. It ended, that we bought home 1 big dish and totally 4 candle holders. Plus we bought some things to kitchen. It felt good, because in the end, we saved quite much compared if we would had bought all those things from the shop. That made my fiancé happy :) And when he is happy, I am happy:P

Our 2 pink transparent candle-holders and pink transparent big dish:

Those 2 pictures are just a experiment with camera what I made, when I took a picture of my new candle holders by Kosta Boda.

Sunday evening,

It is again Sunday evening and weekend is soon passed. This weekend has been passed somehow very fast, but that means it has been a nice weekend, since in very strange reason time just flies when you have a good time.
As I also wrote on Friday, when in this weekend we did not spend it at home. We had weekend outside in southern part of Sweden. We left Friday afternoon and came back today. It has been very good time. Yesterday we visited also one of the big big place in Glasriket. This time we visited Kosta and all the glass-shops there. It was a very nice and good experience. I liked it. More about my visit to Kosta I will write in another blog entry since I think that it should have it's own entry. Later we went back to our hosts and in the evening we had a fabulous 3-course dinner. I must admit, it tasted very good and gave me idea to try something of it to make self. We will see how the result will come out, since I will share it with you as well my dear readers.
Now I want to wish you all have a nice and relaxed Sunday evening.

Have a nice weekend,

Today is already Friday and that means, weekend is close. On the other hand, for some people it even has been arrived already and for other, have to wait perhaps some more hours until weekend can begin. Same time there are people who might be work during a weekend and they can hold their weekend during other days. As it is for me,. then  my weekend has been already started and I will try to enjoy it as much as possible.

Weather has need turned to snowing again and that makes nice and winter feeling. Today morning, when I went to  work, was very nice and chilli, but at least warmer, when it was yesterday during a day. Soon I hope it goes warmer, but on the other hand there are people who says, that it will go even colder than it is now. We just have to wait and see what will happen with weather. I just hope, that by the end of April all snow is gone and all things in nature starts to go green. At least I think it would be nice.

 

This weekend we will have a small weekend trip. More about it I can write after we have had it and perhaps also add some pictures from the places I have seen or been. I believe it will be fun and also good. That reminds, I need to go and pack my weekend bag, because I have not done it yet :)

So, my wish for all of you is, have a nice weekend my dear friends, blog readers and all other people. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I will and that you all will have it as memorable. If you want, you can share your thoughts. It would be nice to read how have you spend your weekend or how you plan to spend it.

I just want to end my entry with a quatation:

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
- Abraham Lincoln

Everyday is a gift, that’s why they call it the present.

Church,

Yesterday I got the question, where is our wedding ceremony will be hold and that made me to realize, that I had not yet written anything about the place. So, I try to solve that thing right now :)
Our wedding ceremony on the 30th of April will be held at the church in Norrahammar. We chose that church in several reasons. Most important we think was, that it was nice and small and made cozy feeling. We really liked it on our first visit to church in the beginning of December last year. That also made us to decide that we want to get married at that church. Other reason is also, that it is on our new hometown. Since from September last year we live as well in Norrahammar. I will also add some more pictures about the church. It is really nice and small. We believe that our ceremony will be there perfect as all our day that day :)

 

Lasering,

Today's post had a nice surprise for me. A notice to post package. Last week I ordered 3 CD's from Estonia from online store called Lasering, since here in Sweden I can't get them somehow. 2 CD's was full of very nice ballads and last CD, I will listen in the end of November and during December, since that was Christmas CD with Christmas songs in Estonian language from the band I like :D I was so happy over it. I like some Estonian artists and one of them is Hannah. As I have wrote also earlier, I think she is very talented young artist. More about her can be read in her homepage.
The 2 CD's I bought are both ballads, one came out last year "Õige tasa" and other one "Ballaadid 2" came out in 2004. Some samples of songs in "Ballaadid 2" can be listened here.

I want to say thank you for both -  the online-shop personal and to Hannah, who have been helped me to get those nice CD's.

Bride's bouquet,

Today I was visiting the florist, who will make my wedding bouquet, bouquet to my maid of honor and corsage for my fiance's and his best man. All my flower bouquets will be made by Bodil Pettersson. More from her works and by interest to order some nice flower decorations can be find from her homepage.
The flowers we chosen to my wedding bouquet are dark red calla's and white ranunculus and bit green. The shape of my bouquet will be similar like the picture in top. I believe the end result will be nice and amazing. One of Bodil's work can also be seen on the baking blog what is also interesting. Picture of wedding bouquete can be seen here. Now I have to wait until 29th of April to see my bouquet and other flower decorations :)

Another table cloth,

Since I had one more Christmas tablecloth at home. when I decided to make one more new one with bit different motive, so, that I would have something new and also something flowerful, what might perhaps bring spring sooner her, since it is snowing today outside again :) And as with others, there is same with this one, if someone would like to have some nice flowers to brighten up their homes, when just let me to know and I will make for you as well same nice one :)

The final thing is done and now it just needs to be ironed and then it is ready for use :)

Small surprise,

Yesterday afternoon I got sms, that I have been rosed. In the beginning I did not think about that, but when I started later to think, what was that sms I had got. I need to read it one more time and when I saw, I had been rosed and I had to go to closest Interflora floweshop and get my rose.
It was so nice surprise from my dearest. In the evening we had nice dinner at the restaurant to talk bit about our marriage and other things. The nice evening ended with a good film and what might be the best than old known Mr. Sherlock Holmes :)

Wedding dinner,

Today we got one more thing solved regarding of our wedding. The food part. In our wedding will be main food a Thai food and some food from Estonia as well, since some might not be used to have Asian food. On the other hand, I and my future husband are happy. That would mean, that this will be something different and that most people would remember that they took part of a wedding, what has been bit different :) Now we just have to wait until we get to know, how many will come to our wedding :)

Table cloth,

Today I finished the tablecloth what I started yesterday and now it is placed to table as well. It looks bit like a spring and I like it. Makes happier when to look it :) So, if there is someone who would like to have tablecloth with same motive or some other motive, when just let to know :) I will add here more pictures by the time, when I make some more :)

Handwork,

After a small period, I started today to make a handwork again. Since Christmas is over and hopefully soon will spring also arrive, I decided to make a nice table cloth to our big table in the living-room. So, here is beginning for my tablecloth. I hope it will be done before weekend :) And if anyone is interested to have same nice spring motive, just let me know and I will make :)

 

And first flower is finished:
