Kähler-hysteri! - Hype about a Vase!
Hvad er det, der sker? En vase i masseproduktion, som har fået hysteriet til at nå latterlige højder! Kähler har lavet en vase, Omaggio, og annoncerede, at den ville komme i begrænset oplag. Kähler skulle i går have oplyst, at den var blevet lavet i ca. 20.-30.000 eksemplarer. Er det et begrænset oplag? Ved de ikke, hvor mange vaser de har solgt? Og hvor mange vaser er nogen sinde blevet solgt i så stort antal? Men man har øjnet profitten, og den bliver nu lavet i en ny udgave. Samme vase, men mindre størrelse, såvidt jeg har forstået. Men det er ikke det eneste. Det andet er grådigheden og den grimme tone fra købernes side. Grådigheden består i, at mange købere nu, dagen efter købet, sælger den på forskellige salgsmedier til 100 gange prisen eller mere! Og de, der ikke fik fat i den, bruger en tone på de offentlige medier, der er under al kritik. Som jeg startede med at spørge: Hvad er det, der sker? Venner! Vi taler om en vase i et enormt oplag.

What is happening? A vase in mass production, which has made a hype of ridiculous proportions! Kähler has made a vase, the Omaggio and announced that the production would be a limited edition. Kähler informed yesterday that 20.-30.000 units had been made. Is that a limited edition? And does the company not know, how many they have sold? And finally, how many vases have been sold in those numbers ever? But the profit is obvious, and now they will make a new vase, just smaller, as far as I have understood. But this is not the only crazy thing happening. The greed is enormous. Quiet a lot of buyers are now, one day after the purchase, selling the vase on different sales channels at 100 times the price or more! And the ones, who didn't get hold of the vase, are using a language in the public medias, which is beneath contempt. As I started out: What is happening? Friends! We are talking about a vase made in an enormous amount.

Mere fra ferien - More from My Holiday
Sidder her og kommer langsomt tilbage i arbejdsmode. Men her kommer lidt flere fotos fra ferien. Bl.a. kom vi til Aalborg og så deres dejlige kulturcenter Nordkraft og Koncerthuset. Smukke bygninger, en gammel og en ny, fantastiske steder.
I am sitting slowly getting back into work mode again. But here is a couple of photos from the holiday. Among other places we visited the 3rd largest city in Denmark, Aalborg, and saw their fanastic cultural center, Nordkraft and the Concert House. Beautiful buildings, one old and one new, and fantastic places.

På vej hjem - On My Way Home
Så er min mini-ferie slut, og jeg er på vej hjem med toget efter nogle dejlige dage. Jeg elsker at køre i tog og har købt nogle gode blade og lidt guf med til rejsen.
I morgen er det arbejdsdag igen, men det gør ikke noget, når man laver noget, man brænder for.
Now my mini holiday is over, and I am on my way home with the train after some wonderful days. I love to go by train. and I have bought some good magazines, and a bit of candy for the road.
Tomorrow it is back to work, and that is fine, when you do stuff, you really want to do.

Vesterhavet - The North Sea
I dag har vi været på heldagstur op nord på i Jylland, og vi har været meget heldige med vejret. Bare et par regnbyger, mens vi kørte - ellers total sol og behagelig temperatur. Vi sluttede af med et ophold på et af mine yndlingssteder. Ved Vesterhavet. Jeg elsker blæsten, den flotte strand og de store bølger.
Today we have been on an all day tour up North in Jutland, and we have been very lucky with the weather. We just ran into a couple of showers - otherwise total sun and nice temperature. We ended the day at one of my favorite places. At The North Sea. I love to be there with all the wind, the fantastic beach, and the big waves.

På landet - On the Country Side
Det var været en dejligt afslappende dag med godt samvær, en lang gåtur med en god ven og hans hunde og dejlig mad lavet af hans søde kone.
It has been a wonderful relaxing day with good talks, a long walk with a good friend and his dogs, and a lovely dinner made by his sweet wife.

Næsten weekend - Almost Weekend
I morgen tager jeg til Jylland, hvor jeg skal være hos venner nogle dage, og jeg er begyndt at pakke lidt. Jeg ved ikke rigtig, hvordan det ligger med netforbindelse dér, så hvis jeg 'falder lidt ud', er det derfor. Men jeg vender tilbage en gang midt i næste uge. Hav en rigtig dejlig weekend.
Tomorrow I am going to Jutland to visit friends for a couple of days, and I have started packing. I don't quite know, how good the net connection will be there, so if I 'fall out' - then that's the reason. But I will be back some time mid next week. Have a really nice weekend.

Gør-det-selv-humør - DIY Mode
På jagt rundt i mit klædeskab fandt jeg 3 t-shirts, som har en rigtig god pasform, og som jeg har brugt meget. Derfor var de efterhånden blevet lidt kedelige i farven, og hvad gør man så? Jeg vidste, at jeg ikke ville komme til at bruge dem, som de så ud, og så kan man jo lige så godt gøre et eller andet ved dem. Så jeg tog chancen og farvede dem i vaskemaskinen. Den ene t-shirt var ensfarvet, så den strammede jeg ind med bomuldstråd, og jeg synes, at den blev rigtig god. Så resultatet blev, at de to blev fine, og den tredie blev bare kedelig, så den går i genbrugsposen. Men det er da to t-shirts, der har fået forlænget levetiden, og som føles nye.
On my hunt in my closetI found 3 T-shirts, which have a very good fit. I have used them a lot, so the color had become quite bland, so what do you do? I knew that I wouldn't use them anymore they way they looked, so I decided to do something. I took the chance and colored them in the washing machine. One of the T-shirts was pale blue from start, so I tired it firmly with cotton strings, and I think that it became quite good. So the result is that two of them are very nice, and the third just became boring, so it goes into the plastic bag with stuff for the second hand shop. But two T-shirts got an extended life time, and it feels like getting something new.

Find min bog på Amazon - Find My Book on Amazon
Det er en stor dag for mig i dag! Min bog RYD DIG OP er nu på Amazon, og den engelske udgave er undervejs. I kan finde linket under 'Bogen' øverst. Så det skal fejres med venner, vin og noget god mad i aften.
It is a big day for me today! My book RYD DIG OP (Tidy Up Yourself) is now on Amazon. You can find the link above under 'The Book'. The English version is on it's way, and I will let you know, when it is there. So I am going to celebrate tonight with friends, wine and some good food.

Gamle Skatte - Old Treasures
Når man rydder ud i sine ting, skal man huske at gemme nogle få ting, der virkelig betyder noget. Ikke bare ting, der er kønne og pynter, men noget der har sand værdi. Jeg kan godt lide, hvis disse ting har en historie, der tilhører min familie. Ikke noget, der bare er købt på et loppemarked, hvilket er af grundene til, at jeg ikke går på loppemarkeder. Det, man køber dér, er andres menneskers minder. Jeg kan også godt lide, hvis de har en funktion. Så jeg vil poste billeder af lidt af disse ting de nærmeste dage.
To lysestager fra mine bedsteforældres sommerhus
Two brass candlesticks from my grandparents' summer cabin
When you clean out in your stuff, you should remember to save a few things, which really mean something. Not something which just is pretty and look nice, but something with true value. I like if these things have a story, which refers to my family. Not just something randomly bought on a flea market, which is one of the reasons why I go to flea markets. What you buy there, is another persons's memories. I also like if they have a function. So I will post photos of these thing in the coming days.
København, heste og kraner - Coopenhagen, Horses, and Cranes
Man kan i øjeblikket godt kalde København 'Kranernes by', men heldigvis er der også forsøg på at gøre det lidt festligt. På Kongens Nytorv går der farverige heste 'gennem væggene', se her og her er statuen og det smukke område, som forhåbentlig snart kommer igen.
For the moment you can call Copenhagen 'The City of Cranes', but luckily there are attempts to make it a bit more festive. In Kongens Nytorv (The Kings New Square) horses are coming 'through the fences' to remind everybody of the statue of King Christian the Fifth on his horse here. The statue is incarcerated in the center of the square, and cannot be seen now.

Mere hvidt - More White
For snart meget lang tid siden købte jeg en lampe til mit soveværelse, som ikke er kommet op at hænge endnu, fordi jeg hader at bruge en boremaskine! Samtidig vil jeg ikke bede om hjælp! Kan Selv, vil selv konflikt! Men nu er der købt nyt bor og skruer. 'Heldigvis' havde butikken ikke de rigtige rawlplugs, så jeg har mindst en dag endnu, før jeg skal tage mig sammen.
A long time ago I bought a lamp for my bedroom, which isn't on the wall yet, because I hate to work with a drill! At the same time I don't want to ask for help! Can Do all by myself conflict! But now I have bought screws etc. 'Luckily' the shop didn't have the right anchors, so I have at least one day more to build courage.

Hvidt/hvidt - White/White
Vaser er et modefænomen som alt andet. Men vaser er også noget, der taget meget plads op i skabene, når de ikke er i brug, så vælg 3-4 vaser i neutral farve eller gennemsigtigt glas til forskellige størrelser buketter. Grunden til at vælge neutrale vaser er, at de ikke skal 'kollidere' med bukettens farver. Røde vaser kan ikke bruges til alle slags blomster uden at blive et overvældende indslag i et rum. Jeg har 4 vaser: 3 hvide i forskellige størrelser og en høj glasvase til den enkelte blomst eller gren. De dækker fint alle behov.
Vases is a design phenomenon like anything else. But vases take up a lot of space in a cabinet, when not in use. So choose 3-4 vases in neutral colors or glass for different sized of bouquets. The reason for choosing neutral colors is that the vases should not 'collide' with the colors of a bouquet. Red vases cannot be used with all colors of flowers without becoming an overwhelming item in a room. I have 4 vases: 3 white ones in different sizes and a tall glass vase for the single flower or branch. They easily cover all needs.

Billede af Bloggeren - Photo of the Blogger
Jeg har længe tænkt på at sætte et billede af mig selv på min blog for at gøre det mere personligt, men det er lidt af et skridt at tage 'ud i verden'. Men jeg er nu blevet hundset rundt af en sød fotograf i meget lang tid, og billedet kommer på. Jeg ved ikke, hvilket billede det bliver endnu, men det bliver der taget stilling til inden længe - hvis jeg kan bestemme mig! Så indtil videre er her en udvisket udgave af mig.
I have for a long time thought about putting a photo of myself on the blog to make it more personal, but it is a bit of a step to take 'out in the world'. But now I have been 'bullied' around by a very sweet photographer for a very long time, and there will be a photo. I don't know which one yet, but that decision will be made within a few days - if I can make up my mind! So for now there is a 'blurred' me.

Nyt Layout - New Layout
Med (meget) hjælp fra en meget dejlig person har min blog fået et løft! Det er godt med fornyelse. Som I vil se, har jeg fået labels på nu. Hvis der nu er emner, der ikke lige er havnet på rette sted, så lad mig det vide. Det var lidt af et arbejde at sætte labels på alle mine blog indlæg siden 2011, hvor jeg begyndte. Jeg håber, at I kan lide det. Jeg elsker det!
With (a lot of) help from a wonderful person my blog has had a face lift. It is so good with renewal. As you can see, I now have labels. So if there are subjects, which haven't been placed in the right box, please let me know. It was quite a work to put labels on all my posts since 2011, when I started. I hope that you like it. I love it!
Dette billede har absolut intet med indlægget at gøre!
This photo has absolutely nothing to do with this post!

På mission - On a Mission
Som I sikkert ved på nuværende tidspunkt, er jeg på en mission, og den er ikke startet for nylig. Den har pågået i mange, mange år, og den kommer til at forsætte resten af mit liv. Men jeg kan nu sige, at jeg har intet i mit hjem, som jeg ikke bruger eller har et meget specielt forhold til. Der skal ikke mere ind - med mindre noget ryger ud. Jeg vil leve let, og mit hjem skal vise, hvem jeg er, og det er ikke noget i nærheden af, hvordan der ser ud i de glittede magasiner :-) Det er ikke noget showroom. Det er der, hvor jeg samler familie, venner... og kræfter. Mit hjem skal ikke tynge mig - det skal støtte mig.
As you probably know by now, I am on a mission, and it hasn't started recently. It has been going on for many years, and it will continue for the rest of my life. But now I can say that I have nothing in my home, which I don't use, or have a very special relation to. No more stuff comes in - unless something else goes out. I want to live lightly, and that my home shows who I am, and that is not anything close to the photos in the glossy magazines :-) My home is not a show room. It is where I gather family, friends ... and strength. My home should not weigh me down - it should support me.

Copenhagen Today
Copenhagen Fashion Festival slutter i dag - i øsende regnvejr. Men alligevel var byen fyldt med mennesker og god stemning.
Copenhagen Fashion Festival is ending today - in pouring rain. But the city was filled with people and a good atmosphere anyway.
Hygge under en paraply med en kop latte i regnvejr har sin charme -
A good time under a umbrella with a latte is quite charming
Arbejde og drømme - Work and Dreams
Næsten weekend, og jeg sidder her og arbejder i det gode vejr med en temperatur, jeg kan håndtere, og drømmer om hav!
Almost weekend, and I am sitting here working in the nice weather which now has a temperature, which I can handle, dreaming about the big ocean!

Nem oprydning - Easy De-Cluttering
I et af mine skabe står der altid en papirpose af solid kvalitet til opsamling af ting, som jeg vil af med. Det vil sige, når jeg får fat i en t-shirt, et spil, en bog, som jeg ved, at jeg ikke kommer til at bruge mere, så lægger jeg den dér, mens jeg har det i hænderne. Posen gennemgås, når den er fuld og bliver leveret til genbrugsshoppen. Til trods for flere større oprydninger i år er det allerede blevet til hel pose fuld. Det giver luft og afliver 'døde' ting i mit hjem let og smertefrit. Det er en meget let form for løbende oprydning.
In one of my closets I always have a solid paper bag for collecting items, I want to get rid of. It means that when I pick up a t-shirt, a game, or a book, which I know that I will never use again, I put it there immediately. Then I go through the bag, when it is filled and give it to the secondhand shop. So in spite of several big 'clean-outs' this year one more bag is filled now. It gives space and I get rid of 'dead' things in my home, and at the same time it is a totally pain free way of ongoing de-cluttering.
Det ser ikke ud af meget... - It doesn't look much...
men det er faktisk en hel del! - but in fact it is quite a lot!

Hvad enhver kvinde behøver! - What every woman needs!
Et par skruetvinger! Jeg skal til at lave en passepartout til et foto, som jeg har fået forstørret, og den lille hvide skrå kant og den sorte baggrund gør underværker. Jeg skal bruge skruetvingerne til at holde det specielle karton på plads, når jeg skærer. Så nu skal jeg i gang med at øve mig, for jeg har hørt, at det ikke er helt let. Men øvelse gør mester!
A couple of clamps. I am going to make a passepartout (a mat) for a photo, which I have had enlarged, and that little white edge and the black background make wonders. I need the clamps to hold the special passepartout cardboard, when I cut. So now I am going to practice, because I have heard that it isn't easy. But practice makes perfect!

Regndans - Rain Dance
Tak, tak, tak - endelig noget vand. Efter en del torden og fantastiske lyn i går aftes kom regnen. Jeg fik også 'fornøjelsen' af 5 bier, som søgte tilflugt for vejret i mit soveværelse.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - finally some rain. After a lot of thunder and some fantastic lightning last night, the rain came. I also had the 'pleasure' of 5 bees in my bedroom seeking refuge for the weather.

Opdatering af en skjorte - Pimp a Shirt
Det har regnet og tordnet lidt, men det har kun gjort det mere fugtigt, så for mig er det sidde-stille-vejr igen. Men det har jeg jo lidt svært ved, så jeg greb en stak med tøj, der trængte til lidt små-reparationer, så nu er en skjorte, en trøje og en silkeskjorte i cirkulation igen. Især silkeskjorten er jeg glad for. Jeg er ellers ikke så meget for mønstret tøj, men denne her har jeg altid holdt af. Jeg har taget manchetterne af, som gjorde den lidt gammeldags at se på, og jeg er meget fornøjet med resultatet. Så nu har jeg en 'ny' skjorte!
Sødt, ikke? - Cute, isn't it?
We have had a bit of rain and some thunder, but it has
just raised the humidity, so for me it is sit-still-weather again. But as I
find that difficult, I grabbed a pile of clothes which needed minor repairs,
and now a shirt, a cardigan, and a silk blouse is in circulation again. I am
especially pleased about the silk shirt. I am not a big fan of fabric with
patterns, but I have always loved this one. I took off the cuffs, which made it
look a bit out dated, and I am very pleased with the result. Now I have a new shirt!

Babysitting
Jeg har haft den store fornøjelse at være babysitter i dag. Det yngste af mine favoritmennesker er nu 16 måneder, og han lærer noget nyt hvert 5. minut! Fantastisk, hvor meget sådan nogle små størrelser lærer i løbet af en dag. Og så har han humor! Det kan godt være, at nogen vil sige, at han er for lille til at udtrykke humoristisk sans, men det er han ikke. I dag var han ved at få hikke af grin over, at det ene hjul på klapvognen pludselig punkterede og sagde sjove lyde. Man glemmer tid og sted i selskab med en lille fyr som ham.
I have had the big pleasure of being babysitter today. The youngest favorite person is now 16 months old, and he learns something new every 5th minut! It is fantastic how much these little creatures learn during a day. And he has sense of humor! Somebody might say that he is too small to express that, but he isn't. Today he almost got the hick ups from laughing, because one of the wheels of the pram suddenly punctured and said funny sounds. You forget time and place in that little guy's company.
Små sko, legetøj og jordbær-pletter på sofaen. Godt at man har vaskbart betræk :-)
Small shoes, toys, and strawberry stains on the sofa. Nice to have a washable cover :-)
