Day in Copenhagen

The other day, we went to Copenhagen to meet Niclas over a cup of coffee and do some last minute shopping. Luckily there was not too many people in the city, probably because the holidays hadn't really started yet.

It is funny how I always find so many interesting thing to photograph when in Copenhagen. I guess since I am not there every day everything seems fresh and interesting and Copenhagen around Christmas time is quite hyggelig.

I wish everyone a merry Christmas. Hope you spend it with someone you care for.

Purse

For quite some time I have been looking for a little diaper bag for Fleur, something that can contain the essential, fit in my bag while it still looks good, and can be used post-diaper age. Recently, I was so lucky to find this nice purse from Mapoesie at half price, so I jumped at the opportunity.
I really like the print and the material. As you can see on the pictures so does Fleur.

Dot Mugs

Pinterest is becoming a bit of an expensive habit. It is not difficult to find loads of things that I would love to buy for my home, knit for myself or Fleur, or ideas for additional house renovations.

Back in April, I ordered these mugs from Recreation Center and finally after four months of waiting a letter came letting me know they were waiting for me in the customs office.

Since then I have used them everyday to have my morning coffee. I am super happy with my new dot mugs, even if they took their time.

Workshop Visit - Line

Last time we were in Denmark we visited Line in her beautiful new workshop at Frederiksberg Allé. It is a shared space, and besides her many amazing jewelry pieces, there was another thing that caught me attention: an old book-press, still running and producing limited edition books. Sadly it wasn't in motion that day, but maybe I will get lucky next time.

Anyway. It is great to see that Line has been able to build a career out of something she loves to do. Very inspiring. If you wish to see her elegant jewelry, you should visit her website or take a walk down Frederiksberg Allé.

Day In The City

Christmas is approaching and so in order to sort the last couple of Christmas presents and visit some galleries while in Denmark, we went to Copenhagen this Friday. We spend the first hour running in vain since it seems that all the good book stores in Copenhagen are closing. Such a shame.

Afterwards we sat down at Democratic Coffee to get some strength to handle the chaos of the many people in the city. Luckily the Galleries were free of the masses. I didn't take any pictures in the galleries we visited, but I can warmly recommend the current exhibition at Gl. Strand Kunstforening with Artist Niels Pugholm. It was very impressive and I could have spend many hours in there reading the many texts on the walls. They were both fun and interesting. (But only if you can understand Danish.)

Then we went to Nørrebro, as I wanted to try Grød for lunch. Though their interpretation of grød is quite wide, it shows that it is possible to do other thing than plans porridge. Quite a nice cookbook too. And then on the way back to meet a friend we stumbled upon a lovely little cacti store. With so many cute small and big cacti and succulents and beautiful ceramics. I wanted to take them all home.
