Brinja København by night

Setting the clock for winter time really messed up my feeling of day and night.

It’s dark when I go home from work…

Sunny side up

I have a trainee designer in the shop this week. She is fifteen, from Esbjerg (Jutland,Denmark) and wants to become a designer some day. I’m just doing what I would normaly do and she is helping me out, It’s great with some ekstra hands.

Besides my sweet husband is training his teacher skills these days. He is attempting a six weeks course of computer education. A great thing about that (among other great things of course) is a longer than usual breakfast together.

Vintage buttons

Here are some of the vintage buttons that I picked out on the market in Wienna.

I’m back, but busy… see you later!

Back on Tuesday…

I’ll be offline for the next cuple of days.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I’m gonna celebrate the weekend by going to the public library and then invite myself out for a good cup of coffe.

Here are some camping meals from our vacation last week.

Colors of fall

The colors in the shop is changing along with the season, here are some colors of fall.

New jewellery boxes

I have been experimenting with different types of jewellery boxex for a while now, I keep turning back to brown boxes with golden logo, witch I think works out very well. Here is a new one in purple, I don’t think it is a keeper, but for a change it’s okay.

Once again a hairband post

I had a customer calling the shop today asking for a hairband she had seen in the danish magazine Femina.

I don’t know how it got there, but I rushed to the store to look it up and here it is, Yay…

A story about German wine

Look-a-like sisters

People say that my sister and I look a like. I have even experienced people I dont know saying: Hey Sigga, how are you! Guess it can be a bit cunfusing. I don’t see that much of a resemblance myself,  do you?

These pictures are from Sigga and Mikkels wedding party in may this year.

Back to nature experience

On a walk in a forest (in Germany) we (Anders, Niller, Lea and I) filled up our pockets with beautiful fresh chestnuts.

There are something very exiting about collecting food in nature and bringing it home.

Here is the story in pictures…

The art of decorating

We saw surpricingly many decorating displays in both Germany and France. Mostly in restaurants, bars, guesthouses and such, but also just here and there… These are some of my favorites.

The garden gnomes are miniature and have their own garden-gnome-mini-home in somebody´s garden in Dörrenbach, Germany.

And the doll/goose combination is placed in a tiny window on a very big wall in the middle of nowhere.

I can´t look at this picture and not smile

My brother Niller and his girlfriend Lea early in the morning, camping in Strasbourg.

I am home again…

Kebab lunch (Strasbourg)

Outdoor life Germany (Soltau)

Phew… lots of pictures and stories to tell and not enough blogging time. Thanks for your comments I’ll answer them as soon as I have more time.

France was great and Germany is even better.

Going far far away

The lonely ballerina

I was told by a neighbourgh on Islands Brygge that once upon a time, a ballerina used to live in the appartment that became my shop.

I love to imagine how she would dance around lonely, a bit crazy and dressed in pink skirts in her home covered with flowers, mirrors, pink curtains and princess-like gowns everywere.

The first picture shows some very old wallpaper which is still here ( I can’t bare to remove it, even though it’s very old and  gone all yellow). The second is the floor on the tiny toilet,  it has been painted in seweral different shades of pink a long time ago…

A work in progress

On my way home

Self portrait

Via Casey’s musings blog I found this article on how to take gorgeous self portraits.  This is obviously not the way to do it!

My collection of cans

I inherited this fantastic collection of metal cans from my grandfather once, he was a serious collector of, well… most things.

I don’t remember how I got this idea, but I think it’s working out pretty well.

The Owls are an order of birds of prey

Isn’t he a cuty?

I think that I’ll put him in a necklace. Let you know…

Fashion diary on a grey and rainy Wednesday

I love to dress up and I’m nearly always wearing dresses or skirts, vinter, summer, spring or fall. I like to be inspiring in my outfits when I’m in the shop, one more thing for the list of what makes a  good shopping eksperience.

Today is grey and rainy, and I’m all casual for once.  Jeans and a hootie, messy hair and no make up…
