Thursday night…
July 30, 2009
I have now started working on the lavender bag project but my eternal problem, when I make stuff at home and not in the shop, is that I don’t have all my best tools, beads, buttons, ribbons and scissors here. -I have materials at home but not nearly as many as I have in the shop.
And even though I bring home what I think I’m gonna need, I always end up missing a whole lot of specific things. Right now I wish I had my zig zag scissor, some tiny red buttons, a very very thin needle and some old laces…
Colourful bathroom walls…

Randomly displayed pile of clothes…
July 27, 2009
I spend a lot of time displaying things to make them look their best (I can’t help it, sometimes I even fold and pile up messy stacks of clothes when I’m not in my own shop) -but once in a while the displays that just randomly gets there along the way are clearly better…
This is is… ehm, a hanger-thing? in my bedroom, it contains clothes that are to dirty for the closet but to clean for the laundry basket. Do you know those piles of clothes?

Happy weekend all…
Customized dressing room…
July 23, 2009
this is the dressing room in my shop… I have just finished the wallpaper-collage-thing going on in there.
When I first opened up the shop I couldn’t decide what the walls should look like so I bought all kinds of different vintage wallpaper. You can go here to see what I ended up choosing back then.
I didn’t have enough of each pattern to fill up the whole dressing room -that’s why I went for patchwork-walls!
Note: A tip for those of you who might be interrested; this is a shop on Frederiksberg in Copenhagen that stocks authentic wallpapers from the 60ties and 70ties (you have to ask for it, they don’t have it in their showroom). I bought mine five years ago, but they might still have some?
Naming the Fall collection…
July 22, 2009
I am one of those messy creative persons -not that messy in my surroundings, mostly in my head… -I get lots of ideas and most of the time I have lots of little experiments and projects going on all at once… Anders on the other hand, is a guy with the most amazing sense of perspective of any situation -so when when I create things, like for example the fall collection, Anders is the man with the overview. He is also the man that decides what names the different styles should be called -and since my name, witch is also the name of my shop, is Icelandic (My grandpa was from Iceland) and my shop is located on a street named “Islands Brygge” = “Icelandic wharf”, he came up with this brilliant idea of naming the different styles pretty Icelandic girls names like Svava, Björk, Bakka or…?
My miniature bike…
July 21, 2009
This bike is one of the few things in the mini-house that I didn’t make from scratch. I was lucky enough to find it as a fairtrade product in a small shop in Berlin. It is made only from recycled cans by streetkids in Cape Town. I did customize it a bit though to make it look more like mine. Now what I need to make is tiny little bags with dods on them.
For the first time in my mini-home project I’m running behind. We have got a new couch that obsoletes my prior work, now I have to make a new one! I keep moving around the furnitures too, but luckily that’s not a big problem because most of the items in the house are movable too… With all this redoing of furnitures and not enough time on my hands it feels like I’m not really getting anywhere… Anyway; this bike is new and I like it -do you?
What I am not suppose to be doing!
July 21, 2009
I have 1000 things on my to-do list, but this is all I really feeel like doing… Stay tuned for the final result!
Monday in my shop…
July 20, 2009
It has been a rainy Monday today… Feels like all the people in my neighbourhood is away on holiday -both at Bryggen and at home, the whole world is so calm and quiet -and I like it…
I bought these new pillows, at a marked in Warsaw for my bench in front of the shop. I had to sew ribbons on them and tie them to the bench because it’s so windy at the harbour and they would surely fly away in a second.

So this was my last week vacation look… -once again; not the best pictures. I have just recently found a good way to do this at home, but all these pictures are taken in different mirrors and with different kinds of lighting -I’m telling you; not easy!

Back home…
July 18, 2009
We arrived home yesterday afternoon and had a little birthday party in the evening -Anders was the center of attention:)
I’m looking so much forward to a Sunday with time to catch up on all your lovely blogs and with lots of yummy leftovers from yesterdays party. I have over 900 unread posts in my google reader waiting!!!
Tonight is “Harry Potter” night…
Back in Berlin
July 16, 2009
After five days in Warsaw last week Anders and I made an impulsive decision to go back to Berlin for a while. Niller, Lea and a friend of ours called Troels was also in Berlin for holidays -and to pay K a visit. Somehow meeting friends in another city is like a breath of fresh air… For Anders and I this vacation is almost over, but boy; it has been so so good. And after what feels like oceans of time away from my shop, my sisters, Susi, my mini-home, my own bed and my bike -I am really looking forward to come back home!
Lea has posted some great Berlin picture – Clik here to see!
Fall preparations…

Giveaway badge!
July 10, 2009
When I travel around I always bring home new stuff for the shop, sometimes I find cool materials like beads, buttons, ribbons or fabric and sometimes I find scarves, belts, jewellery or things like that. I like to sell items that has a funny story to tell and I have always made an effort to find things that you can’t buy any where else -not in Denmark at least:)
I’ve had these badges made in a dark underground tunnel by a Warszawa metro station.
It wasen’t easy because the staff in this tiny shop could not speak one word english and so far I only know three Polish words (they didn’t really work here) so if you think about it, this is a pretty neat result:
The badges are not sale items but just a little gadget for custumers in the shop.
If you live in Copehagen and want one -just stop by and pick it up! And if you don’t live in Copenhagen but really want one, then mail me your name and adress and I’ll post one for you.

Okay so a week to late and not the best shots… My usual weekly “What I wore post” has been a diffucult to do with all this traveling… here it is for now.
Bye bye Berlin -hello Warsaw!
July 7, 2009
I have only been on vacation for 6 days and already I have no idea what day or time it is… my blog routine is all messed up as well, internet access has been very limited for me so I’m sorry for my lack of answers to your comments.
I went from Berlin to Warsaw by train which is a seven hour journey. I shared the compartment with an American/Polish/Jewish klezmer musician from New York and a self-proclaimed business man from Poznan, an odd collection of people that made the hours fly by like a snap… the journey was a blast.
After running around Berlin for five days I’m trying to realax a bit and get some drawing done for fall collections -I have tons of ideas and my bags are packed with pens and paper but I have a hard time concentrating. Hopefully it will be better soon, maby it’s just the summer heat.
Living in Berlin…

Bread and butter fashion fair, Berlin
July 3, 2009
The fashion fair took place in the Berlin Tempelhof airport which is a really cool place…
-All together -I found the building more inspiring than the fashion:)
Berlin is just wonderful…
