Yes it’s time to harvest that Danish Christmas Schnaps. If you, like me, started in the beginning of November – then the Schnaps is ready! Simply sift it through a coffee filter, and enjoy the amber colour and the round taste with a clear hint of orange.

A little bit of Xmas trend spotting to day – neon, acrylic and bright colors. Personally I’m a very traditional Xmas person – reds, whites, snowflakes, candles, hearts, stars and so on – but it is fun that some people experiment.

I met so many nice people on the marked Saturday, so I’ve decided to spread the love by sharing some every day. Some are from crafters/ bloggers that are new to me but I’ll also include bloggers I’ve mention before.
First up is Kirkesjov. She mixes retro fabric with crochet and more. Kirkesjov is also a part of Designkartellet – so I’ll show more of her things later this summer to (have to return to that shop!)

That’s why I have this Tuesday theme, to be able to ‘meet’ the people I admire, mainly over mail but still I get inspired. Perhaps one day I’ll be one of those bold people selling my own things. This weeks Handmade person [...]

I love Christmas, the smells, the decorations, the food and the drink. Today I’ve started transforming a basic aquavit to delicious Christmas snaps – and I’m so happy to start doing Christmas things. But relax I wouldn’t be totally Christmassy for the next 40 days….but there will be some tales of my Danish/ Norwegian Christmas preparations.

A short bike ride from the town centre (Nyhavn) past many of the most beautiful buildings in the Danish capital, just a cross the beautiful Knipple bridge you’ll find the old workers area Christianshavn.
