Half of Denmark is covered by snow, and the other half is waiting for the snowstorm, which is coming tonight. Sometimes you wait for something big.

Ventetid - Waiting
Halvdelen af Danmark er dækket af sne, og den anden halvdel venter på snestormen, som kommer i nat. Somme tider venter man på noget stort.

Handmade! - By a Person!
Jeg er så fornøjet! Jeg har lige hentet en kamera-nakkerem, som jeg havde bestilt hos Kamerahuset. Fint sted. Supersøde mennesker, supergod betjening og vejledning. Ikke nok med det, så er den nakkerem håndlavet - af Gordy! En business med en rigtig person bag! Ikke samlebånd. Gordy's Camera Straps findes her. I disse tider, hvor produkter bliver sprøjtet ud fra større eller mindre fabrikker, er dette her en fornøjelse. Et skønt nede-på-jorden produkt med gode detaljer.
I am so pleased. I have just pick-up the camera strap, which I had ordered at Kamerahuset. Great shop, people, great service and advice. And not only that, it is a handmade neck strap - by Gordy! A business with a real person. Not an assembly line. You can find Gordy's Camera Straps here. In these days where products are pushed out of bigger or smaller factories, this is a pleasure. A great down-to-earth product with fine details

Salg af klassikere - Selling Classics
Jeg har ryddet op i mine skabe, og jeg har fundet ret mange ting, som jeg ikke har brugt i lang, lang tid. Så jeg har besluttet, at de skal sælges. Selvom det er design klassikere. Jeg vil ikke have ting, der ikke bliver brugt i mit hjem og bare fylder op.. De er ikke til nogen glæde, hvis de ikke bliver brugt. Så de skal have et nyt hjem.
I have cleaned out in my kitchen cabinets, and I have found a lot of thing, which I haven't used in a long, long time. So I have decided to sell them. Even if they design classics. I don't want to have things, which aren't in use in my home, and just take up space. They don't give any pleasure, if they aren't used. So they should have a new home.

København på billedvæggen - Copenhagen on the Picture Wall
For nogle uger siden købte jeg et lille
tryk af Miriam Ortved, som jeg ikke kunne stå for. Det findes i 2 størrelser og
2 farver, sort og pink. Du kan finde det her. Det er en meget charmerende måde at tegne København på.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a small print by Miriam Ortved. I couldn't resist it. It comes in 2 sizes and black and pink. You can find it here. It is a very charming way to draw Copenhagen.

Tesalonen - The Tea Room
Jeg har lige tilbragt et par dejlige timer med mine 2 favorit-mennesker. Vi har drukket te, spist små sandwiches, macaroons, petit fours, scones, lemon curd og alt hvad der hører til et rigtigt te-bord. Omgivelserne er hyggelige i et gammel hus uden nogen form for moderne trends. Den helt rigtige ramme. Vi var hos Perchs Tearoom. Hvis du kan lide te, så prøv det. Hvis du kun til nød drikker te, så prøv det. Hvis du kun er kaffedrikker, så prøv det alligevel! Du finder det her.
I have just spent a couple of wonderful hours with my 2 favorite persons. We have been drinking tea, eaten small sandwiches, macaroons, petit fours, scones, lemon curd. Everything which belong on a real tea-table. The surroundings are cozy in an old house without any form of modern trends. The perfect settings. We were at Perchs Tearoom. If you like tea, then try it. If you can drink tea, then try it. If you a hard-core coffee drinker, try it anyway! You find it here.

Designerstole i miniudgave - Designer Chairs in Mini Size
Jeg har før sagt, at jeg ikke er meget for nips, og jeg har ikke ret meget pynt stående. Men somme tider falder jeg alligevel for noget. Og jeg bliver helt blød i knæene, når jeg ser noget i miniature-størrelse. Så jeg har anskaffet designerstolene 'Svanen' og 'Ægget' designed i stor størrelse af Arne Jacobsen og produceret i mini-størrelse af Fritz Hansen A/S Denmark. Du kan få dem hos Minimii.
I have before told that I am not very keen on decorative objects, and I don't have much standing around. But sometimes I fall for something anyway. I get all soft in the knees, when I see something in thumbnail sizes. So I have bought the designer chairs 'The Swan' and 'The Egg' designed in real size by Arne Jacobsen, and produced i mini-size by Fritz Hansen A/S Denmark. You can get it at Minimii.

Bevæbnet til møde med solen - Armed to meet the Sun
Normalt vil jeg ikke reklamere for det ene eller det andet skønhedsprodukt, og det er heller ikke det, jeg gør her. Men jeg vil gerne reklamere for at beskytte huden mod solen. Med indtil flere solskader i ansigt og på kroppen ved jeg, at hud ikke bare er et hylster, man 'opbevarer' kroppen i. Det er en levende mekanisme som bør behandles med omhu. Derfor har jeg været ude og investere i en creme med solfaktor 50%. Jeg har desværre også været nødt til at købe en concealer til at dække de skader, der allerede er sket, og som vender tilbage med større tydelighed for hvert år, når den første solstråle rammer. Det ser godt ud at være solbrændt. Ingen tvivl om det. Men det er så meget bedre at bevare huden sund.
Normally I will not advertise for beauty products, and it is not, what I do now. But I will advertise for protecting the skin against the sun. Having several sun damages in my face and on my body, and I know that my skin is not only a holster to store the body. It is a living mechanism to be treated with care. So I have invested in a sun block 50%. Unfortunately I have also had to buy a concealer to cover the damages, which already have happened and comes back more and more visible every year, when the first sunbeam hits my face. It looks good to be tanned. No doubts. But it is so much better to have healthy skin.

Favorit duft og smykke - Favorite Perfume and Favorite Piece of Jewelry
Jeg har for nylig - efter mange år - skiftet parfume. Jeg synes, at det har været svært, for en duft er en meget personlig ting. Men jeg har totalt forelsket mig i Bvlgari's Omnia Coral. En fantastisk hverdags-duft. Her sammen med mit yndlingssmykke, som er et sølvhjerte, som jeg fik af mine forældre, da min søn blev født.
I have recently - after many years - changes parfume. I think that is has been difficult,because a fragrance is a very personal thing. But I have totally fallen in love with Omnia Coral from Bvlgari. A fantastic everyday fragrance. Here together with my favorite piece of jewelry, a silver heart, which my parents gave me, when I gave birth to my son.

Isbjørne og får i byen- Ice Bears and Sheep in Town
Jeg måtte bare til Mumuland igen her, hvor jeg købte 2 søde får til dekorationen til mit kommende påskebord. Plakaten, som et er anderledes bybillede af København, kunne jeg ikke stå for. Der var også isbjørne i København i går. God musik ledsagede to dansende bjørne, der var ude for at gøre opmærksom på, at vores arktiske miljø er truet.
I just had to visit Mumuland again here, where I bought 2 cute sheep for the decoration for my soon to come Easter table. I just couldn't resist the poster, which is a very different picture of Copenhagen. Ice bears were also in the city yesterday. Two dancing bears were accompanied by good music to make awareness of that our Arctic environment is threatened.

Fødselsdagsblomster & Elvis - Birthday Flowers & Elvis
Jeg havde fødselsdag sidste søndag, og mine søde kolleger gav mig blomster. På 5.dagen er der stadig ikke en eneste blomst, der hænger med hovede, så jeg tog dem med hjem til weekenden. De er fra Bering Blomster, som desværre ikke har nogen hjemmeside, der viser, hvor dygtige de er. De laver nogle fantastiske buketter. Nu er det afslapning sammen med min søde undulat, Elvis.
It was my birthday last Sunday, and on Monday my sweet colleagues gave me flowers. Now on day 5 there aren't one single flower showing signs of letting go, so I brought them home for the weekend. They are from Bering Flowers, who unfortunately hasn't got a website, which show, how talented they are. They make amazing bouquets. Now it is relaxation together with my sweet budgie, Elvis.

Bag & Clutch Lovers - Help!
For et stykke tid siden var jeg så heldig at få en clutch af en ældre veninde. Det er en Mulberry. Såvidt hun husker, er den købt en gang i 1970'erne. Jeg kontaktede Mulberry i UK for at høre, om de kendte noget til den, men de sagde, at de ikke lå inde med informationer om alle de ældre tasker. Er der nogen af jer, der har set den model før, så vil jeg være glad for at høre fra jer.
A while ago I was so lucky that an elderly friend gave me a clutch. It is a Mulberry. As far as she recalls, it is bought some time during the 1970's. I contacted Mulberry in UK to hear if they knew the model, but they said that they didn't have any history for older bags. Is there any of you who has seen this model before, then I will be happy to hear from you.

Hvorfor shopper vi? - Why do we shop?
På min weekend bytur tænkte jeg meget på, hvorfor vi shopper. Er det, fordi vi mangler noget? Selve varen altså. Eller er det fordi vi mangler noget andet, der ikke har noget som helst at gøre med det, vi køber? Hvor mange par jeans har man brug for? Hvor meget køkkenudstyr kan man bruge? Og bliver der fjernet noget fra skabene, når der kommer nyt ind? For hvis det er ikke tilfældet, kommer man på et tidspunkt til at drunke i ting. Ting, som man måske ikke har brug for. Det vil sige, at vores hjem bliver mindre og mindre, og når man kommer hjem fra en travl arbejdsdag, bliver man mødt af et kaotisk hjem. Er alle vores impuls-køb virkelig det værd? Og hvad vil vi købe, når vi har købt alt? I stedet skulle vi købe nogle gode ting, når vi behøver dem. Ting som man vil være tilfreds med i lang tid.
On my weekend trip I thought a lot about, why we shop. Is it because we need something? That particular item. Or is it because we need something else, which has nothing to do with what we buy. How many pair of jeans do you need? How much kitchen equipment can you use? And will you remove something from the cabinets when the new stuff comes in. If not, you home will get smaller and smaller, and when you come home from a busy work day, you will be met by a chaotic home. Are all our impulse purchases really worth all that? And what will we buy, when we have bought everything? Instead we should buy good stuff, when we need it. Things that makes us content for a long time.

Shopping eller ikke? - Shopping or not?
I dag tog jeg til Lyngby Hovedgade, som er en rigtig hyggelig gade - selv i bidende kulde. Der er en dejlig blomsterforretning, en kurveforretning, en shop med smukke patchworkstoffer, en giftshop med bl.a. dejlige tasker af mærket Nova til en overkommelig pris. Og hvad kom jeg så hjem med? En bog og rød hirse til min undulat, Elvis. Bogen er en gave og min søde Elvis elsker rød hirse. Præcis som jeg havde planlagt. Jeg shopper ikke på impuls. Jeg har for lang tid siden lært, at det meget, meget sjældent giver mig samme glæde som at shoppe 'overlagt' efter nøje overlagt plan. Lige nu er jeg på jagt efter den perfekte sorte cardigan, og hvor svært kan det være? Det er det sikkert ikke, men det skal være den helt rigtige, og jeg ved, at den findes derude, så jeg har ingen grund til at skynde mig. Jeg ved, at jeg finder den og indtil da - bliver der ikke købt noget som erstatning.
Today I went to to Lyngby main street (Lyngby is a suburb to Copenhagen) which is very charming - even in the blistering cold. There is a beautiful flower shop, a wicker shop, a shop with beautiful patchwork materials, a gift shop with i.e. lovely bags, a brand called Nova, at reasonable prices. So what did I bring home? A book and a bag og red millet for my budgie, Elvis. The book is a gift, and my sweet Elvis loves red millet. I bought exactly what I had planned. I don't shop on impulse. I learned a long time ago that it very, very rarely gives me the same pleasure as shopping 'deliberately' after a plan. Right now I am chasing the perfect black cardigan, and how hard can that be? It probably isn't, but it has to be the right one, and I know that it is out there, so I have no hurry. I am going to find it, and until then - I don't buy anything to substitute.

Week-end Planlægning - Week-end Planning
Hvis det ikke var weekend, ville jeg være gal i hovedet. Jeg har computerproblemer. Men det er weekend. Afslapningstid. Måske hjælper det at få lidt godt at spise! I morgen skal der lidt gang i 'goodie'-kortet. Jeg skal på gavejagt, og jeg har tænkt mig at tage et sted hen, hvor jeg ikke kommer så ofte. Men der er en masse gode små forretninger, så I hører nærmere om, hvad der sker. Man skal aldrig lægge for mange eller for faste planer for fritid. Så er det jo ikke fritid mere!
If it wasn't weekend now, I would be mad. I have computer problems. But it is weekend. Relaxation time. Maybe it helps to have something nice to eat. Tomorrow the 'goodie'-card will come in play. I am going on a gift hunt, and I have planned to go a place, I don't go that often. But there are a lot of good, small shops, so you will hear more about this, and how it works out. Never make too many or too solid plans for time-off. Then it isn't time-off any more.

1001 perler - 1001 Pearls
På min tur i lørdags så jeg også andre spændende forretninger, bl.a. 1001 Pearls, som så ud som totalt Slaraffenland for smykke-piger. Og så laver de kurser! Så kan man lave noget, som ingen andre har, hvilket er lige mig. Hvem gider at rende rundt og købe det samme, som alle de andre?
On my shop-finder-trip last Saturday I found other exciting shops, i.e. 1001 Pearls, which is totally wonderland for jewelry girls. And then they have courses. Then you can make something, which nobody else have, which is just up my alley. Who want to run around to buy the same as everybody else?

Indkøb fra i lørdag - Purchases from Saturday
Det er jo svært at være ude og spotte fine shops uden at blive 'inspireret', og jeg kom da heller ikke tomhændet hjem! Den runde vase er et totalt hit, og tørklædet sprang bare på mig!
It is very difficult to go shop spotting without getting 'inspired', and I did not come home empty handed! The round vase is a total hit, and the scarf just jumped right on me!

Spændende shops - Shopping at it's best
Gl. Kongevej i København er en spændende gade med mange fine
shops. Jeg besøgte 2 af dem i går. Den ene var By Bonné (Gl. Kongevej 161, nedsiden er desværre nede p.t.) En sjov blanding af
møbler, mindre interiør-ting og tøj. Ejeren køber selv ind i Berlin og
Frankrig, hvilket er tydeligt. Der er ting, som man ikke finder i andre shops.
I øjeblikket er der 50% på mange varer, fordi der skal gøres plads til nogle
forbedringer.
Gl. Kongevej in Copenhagen is an exiting street with a lot of fine shops. I visited two of them yesterday. The first one was By Bonné (Gl. Kongevej 161, the homepage is unfortunately not working right now). A good mixture of furniture, other interior items, and clothes. The owner goes to Berlin and France to buy things, which is quite obvious. You will find things there, which you will not find in other shops. At the moment there is a 50% sale on lots of the goods to make room for alterations.
Mumuland her var den næste forretning, som faldt i min smag.
Meget charmerende og bestemt et sted at anbefale, hvis man står og mangler en
speciel gave. Der var store og små ting i dejlige pastelfarver. Jeg har spotted
et par ting, som jeg bare skal ind og have inden påske, bl.a. de små får.
Mumuland was the next shop, which ‘pulled’ me in. Very charming and definitely a place I can recommend if you need a special gift. There were big and small things in lovely pastel colors. I have spotted a couple of tings, which I just have to go back to buy before Easter, i.e. the small lambs.

Fashion Power Personality!
I dag havde jeg tænkt mig at skrive om to fine små shops, som jeg er faldet
over, men det må simpelthen vente til næste blog! Fordi midt i denne grå menneskemasse på
Strøget så jeg dette ...
Today it was my intention to tell about two great little shops, I have found, but it simply has to wait to the next blog! Because in the middle of this grey mass of people at the pedestrian street, Stroeget, I saw this ...
Denne fantastiske
pige forsvandt ind i en forretning, og en gruppe unge mennesker kom ud og
stirrede efter hende. Fuldt forståeligt. De smilede også - smil, der sagde
'Respekt'! Jeg måtte bare standse hende og tage et billede mere, som I kan se,
og jeg ville gerne have taget rigtig mange, men alle standsede op, og det var
måske lidt for meget opmærksomhed. Men hvor ville det hele dog være meget mere
festligt, hvis der var flere, inklusiv mig selv, der ville gøre lidt mere ud
af, hvordan vi gerne ville vise vores personlighed. Jeg kan kun sige, at selv
uden nitter og læder: You rock, Girl!
This fantastic girl went into a shop, and a group of
youngsters came out and stared at her back. Quiet understandable. They also
smiled - a smile which said 'Respect'! I just had to stop her and take a photo
more, as you can see, and I would have liked to take a lot more, but everybody
stopped, and maybe that was a little too much attention. But wouldn't it be a
lot more fun and festive, if more people, including myself, would pay a little
more attention to how we want our personality to show. All I can say that even
without studs and leather: You rock, Girl!

Triplex lampen - Pixar? - The Triplex Lamp
