Tales of Midsummer

I am so happy to be featured in the newest issue of beautiful enfants terribles magazine with photos from the blog and an interview. The theme of the issue is Tales of Midsummer, and I guess it comes as no surprise that I instantly felt related to this theme.

The whole issue is packed with beautiful and magic photos to evoke the warm feeling of summer and sweet memories. Go have a look - it's such a good job in my opion!

Quilt & Stripes

I love this project where designer Line Sander has used remnants from the production of Nørgaard på Strøget's classic striped T-shirts for a collection of wonderful quilts. The quilts are handmade by the socio-economic sewing workshop Place de Bleu, and the project combines beautiful design, sustainable production, social responsability & old sewing traditions.

More about the project. Photos from Line Sander's blog Little Universes.

acorns

Little wood acorns from Japanese Kiko. Soft to touch and beautiful to look at, and they can even be used for a necklace or as spinning tops.

autumn

I passed through Assistens Kirkegård today (a beautiful cementary & historic site). There are so many beautiful colours at the moment. In a few weeks I guess most of them will be gone.

♥ two years ♥

My grandmom's summerhouse at the sea in the Northern part of Denmark. I guess it's easily to see why we love this place. Today, two years ago, we had another very special day here.

Marimekko Weather Diary

I'm looking forward to see more of Marimekko's Weather Diary.
Watch this little video with rainy clouds and changing weather.

All photos are from Marimekko's website.

Lena Corwin for More & Co

I love Lena Corwin's Wild, Natural, Free fabric for More & Co. It comes as a smock, a kids' smock and a tote. It's airy and summery and reminds me of the meadows with wild flowers nearby our Swedish house where we will soon be going. And the little model, of course, reminds me very much of my own little Frida Viola :)

Blomsterskuret

A favourite flower shop of mine is Blomsterskuret ["the flower shed"] at Værnedamsvej. It's a tiny shop litterally housed in a shed as you might discern from the photos - and it's impossible not to stop when you pass by. I really love the selection of flowers that look more like something from the roadside or the meadows - unpretentious, green and simple, but all at the same time fine and aesthetic.

They also have a nice little selection of herbs for the balcony or the backyard that you don't find elsewhere, including various sorts of mint. I tried a strawberry mint for the backyard - and I am looking forward to use it in salads and teas. As a little bonus the interior of the "shed" is also worth a peak or two. I always find inspiration to bring home (and I always want to buy more plants and flowers!)
