I think it’s rare to find really really cool men’s clothing but Norwegian Rain makes the type of clothing that I really want to get my husband. Norwegian Rain is a small designer label from the rainiest city of Europe (Bergen, Norway). They have won so many prices and I can see why – I [...]

Poetry is lies and coffee is the truth. More wine and champagne and we forget it all.
The cup and saucer is made by the Norwegian artist Kjersti Lunde especially for the Vevring Exhibition 2010

When I get excited I more or less want to jump up and down while I clap my hands. This colourful wall decor Flock made me do just that. It’s actually made from 100% wool felt with self-adhesive backing. So you can change and mix. And it’s also noise reducing! It’s designed by Norwegian designer [...]

I wish I was in Oslo today. I wish I stood with my baby under an umbrella singing with 40 000 people as a protest of the horrible massacre that happened 22. July 2011. It feels strange not to be there, take a part of it all. Show my sympathy. But I will tell the [...]

I’ve been living in Denmark for soon to be 5 years. I do like it here, bakers on every corner, the music, the food, the hygge – but every year – in august – I long for home. Home to the Norwegian woods. I grew up in a house that is just a cross the [...]

En mann kan gjøre mye skade, men i dag beviste en annen mann at han kunne gjøre mye godt. For det var en mann, en student, som over litt øl fredag, bestemte seg for å gjøre noe. Ikke bare kjøre hjem, fra københavn til Oslo. Men gjøre noe her. Derfor har jeg i dag, sammen [...]

“If one man can show so much hate, imagine how much love we can all show together” Mitt lille land Et lite sted, en håndfull fred slengt ut blant vidder og fjord Mitt lille land Der høye fjell står plantet mellom hus og mennesker og ord Og der stillhet og drømmer gror Som et ekko [...]

Vi nordmenn elsker vårt land. Vi feirer det med stor glede og entusiasme. Vi elsker å dele landet, naturen og maten med folk fra hele verden. Likevel skjer tragedier som fredagens bombing og massakre…. en gal manns hat Jeg har vært i sjokk hele helgen, selv om jeg ikke kjente noen som ble drept eller [...]

This weekend I was in lovely sunny Oslo and popped into the nice little store and café Blafre – just the perfect place to pick up a gift for people that loves retro.

Today is ‘Shrove Tuesday’, the last day of gluttony before the 40 day fast before Easter. Few people follow the fast but many here in Scandinavia celebrate today by eating creamed filled buns – made with plenty of the things you shouldn’t eat during the fast – eggs, milk, butter, sugar. (PS it’s also Pancake [...]
