In this next part of my Stockholm travel series, we discover the peaceful, dreamy market garden at Ulriksdal palace. As I mentioned in my Ulriksdal Palace post, the reason we went there in the first place was because I had seen a flowerpot in Skona Hem (a Swedish decorating magazine) that I desperately wanted, if it […]
Stockholm Travel: Ulriksdal Palace
In part 2 of my Stockholm travel blog series, we visit Ulriksdal Palace, another quiet haven just a short subway ride from the city center. As I mentioned in the Bergianska Botanical Gardens post, you don’t have to travel far from the city to find yourself in nature, and Ulriksdal is another excellent example of that. […]
Stockholm Favorites: Bergianska Botanical Garden
Over the holidays, I finally had time to go through all the photos I took during our trip to Sweden last summer, and looking at the images reminded me of what a fabulous and relaxing vacation it was; the best we’ve had in years. Traveling went smoothly, the weather was good (most of the time), […]
Stockholm – Restaurants, Hairdressers and Clogs
As I mentioned in my 10 Reasons I Love Stockholm post, I hadn’t been home in 3 years before going this summer, so I saw the city with “semi-new” eyes, which is always fun. Things you take for granted when living there suddenly stand out, and what struck me (us) this year was: 1. The […]
Stockholm Shopping – 8T8
Stockholm shopping is the best! You could easily spend your entire vacation shopping and not be bored (but don’t – there is so much more to see!). I have so many favorite stores I visit every time I go home, but also always find new ones. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was […]
10 Reasons I Love Stockholm
I just got back from a few weeks in Stockholm, and while this opinion may be biased (since I grew up in Sweden and lived in Stockholm for several years), it really is one of the most fabulous cities in the world. It was my first trip home in 3 years, so I felt like […]
Another Luxury Apartment In Stockholm
As I mentioned in my previous luxury apartment eye candy post, I start missing Sweden twice a year. In the winter, I’d love to be there to enjoy all four Advent Sundays with glogg, gingerbread cookies and saffron buns, St. Lucia (on December 13th) with all the lights and traditional processions, and Christmas, which in Sweden is […]
Luxury Apartment Eye Candy – Stockholm
It’s that time of year again. 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 […]
