MJOLK GIFT GUIDE 2011

Most of you, should already know that the first post is always the hardest. Well, I didn’t! So, I struggled for several days to make things work… to find something inspiring to post… a good reason to start sharing with you a few words. But nothing seemed to work out… no matter how creative I was feeling and how overwhelming that feeling was.

Until I found this gift guide. Very different from anything I came across the last days. And so stylish! Then I realized that things come natural… when you find something worth to be shared, you just know it.

So, here it is… my very first post and one of the most interesting and well presented gift guides I’ve seen lately. Enjoy!
