Would you wear this? How about if it looked like this? When I first saw the top picture, my reaction was – who would rather wear that than a regular bike helmet?! But then I learned more, and I think this is one of the best inventions I’ve seen lately (it’s from Sweden, of course) I’ll [...] Just this past weekend, a friend told me about this fabulous on line shop “Terrain” and said I had to check it out, it would be “just my kind of thing”. She was right – I love it! They sell everything from jewelry to furniture, and even vintage stuff. They also have recipes, gardening tips, [...] I love paper – stationery, wrapping paper, product wraps, boxes, shopping bags, wallpaper – it doesn’t matter what it is as long as it is pretty.

Twice every year, in the beginning of December and at the start of summer, I start longing for Sweden. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to go home almost every year since I came to the US, but I suspect this is one of those years when it’s [...] Growing up in Sweden, I wore clogs from the moment I started walking. I have always loved them – when they were hip in the 70s (like the white platform clogs my Mom bought me for my 7th grade graduation – awesome!), not so hip in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and now, when they’re [...] Last fall, I opened up my own Etsy shop. I have been creating things for years, and have also been a very happy Etsy shopper, so I thought it was time to see if anyone else liked what I make.
