Baggu backpack in 'Chestnut' c/o Baggu

Meet my travel companion; my Baggu backpack. 

I already took it everywhere with me this summer. It is so lightweight and sturdy compared to other backpacks that I had in the past. Perfect for traveling but also for everyday activities. Backpacks are my favorite. They keep your hands free when taking pictures or eating ice cream (you can guess what my favorite summer activities are). 

Love,
Sara

This is it, folks.
‘The Desolation of Smaug’ is out in theaters!

Back in November I was kindly invited by Warner to the Hobbit fan event and attend a screening of the first part of the trilogy to refresh our memories before the next installment.

I’ll try not to give anything away (even if it’s a 76 year old book) but what I can say is that the new characters (and actors) are wonderful. 

I want to be wood elf, Tauriel (played by Evangeline Lilly) when I grow up. She is fierce!


There is also some noticeable character development in this one. Bilbo is not the same hobbit that we once met in his comfortable armchair at Bag End at the beginning of this story. He realises how important the quest is to the other members of the company and he will try everything in his power to get them safely to the Erebor. 

And then they meet Smaug. 


Looking back at the pictures above, I realize that I was wearing the three items that I would bring with me on a long journey. A wool hat, a rainproof jacket and a durable backpack.

The hat would keep the sun out of my eyes, the jacket would keep me dry and the backpack would be filled with trail food and a map. I would not go far without them.


What would you bring on a perilous journey (across Middle-Earth)?
Are you planning to see the movie?


Have a great weekend,
Sara


Oh Canada

Our winters are nothing compared to the Canadian cold and snow.
But a girl can dream, right?

Misty Mountains Pt.3

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Misty Mountains by Howard Shore, Richard Armitage & The Dwarf Cast on Grooveshark
 (pictures taken in the French Alps)
Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To seek our pale enchanted gold.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells,
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught,
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.

On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, on twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.

- J.R.R Tolkien


This beautiful song has been stuck in my head ever since I saw The Hobbit last week…
Now, I’m dreaming of Misty Mountains again. 

Love,
Sara

“Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”


This Roots poncho is my favorite item that I brought back from Canada.
It will always remind me of the Canadian Rockies.
