Muggie Moscow

>> søndag den 30. marts 2008 – fashion, lovely objects

If I need to get posh for an occasion, than on with my favorite hair accessory the Christmassy star from Muggie Moscow. I was so exited when I bought it, and now a year later I still smile every time I see the star sitting in our closet. I can´t seem to find anything about Muggie Moscow on the internet, but I know that behind hair accessories is a young danish designer. Art Rebels sell Muggie Moscow hair accessories.

Peek at Peak Blog

Finn Juul Forever

The danish master furniture designer Finn Juul made some fine credenzas with colored drawers. The contrast between teak and pastels is so great, that I´m considering on painting the shelves in my teak archive cabinet. I was thinking pale blue and than fading the color drawer by drawer.

Typographic Hornsea

Hornsea Pottery isn´t that common in Denmark, however Julie a friend has this wonderful graphic mug by Hornsea. It´s the one thing she wished to inherit when her grandmother past away, as the mug had much sentimental value. Must say I´m loving the typographic elephant look. It´s made by John Clappison an english ceramic and glass designer.

3 x goddaughters

Now this is not design related, but I just have to share it. I´m godmother to these tree small angels dressed in the national costume. The photo was taken at the Olaf festival held every year in 28-29 july in Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands. Are they cute or what!?

The Royal Café

Royal Copenhagen run the most charming cafe called The Royal Café. Rannvá and I treated ourselves to a great royal pot of earl gray and had a divine lemon meringue pie. The cafe´s wide range of china is to die for with everything from Flora Danica to Mega Müssel. It truly is a visit worth if you happen to pas by Wonderful Copenhagen.

Happy happy easter

My Finnish love affair

Finland is one of my favorite destinations ever! I just love everything about Finland their culture, language, design oh and their chocolate. Danske Bank bought Sampo Pankki (Finnish bank) and Krstjan together with some hundred people are working this easter to convert the two banks. As thanks Danske Bank has given all employees Finnish liquorish and chocolate. Among the sweets is a Mignon egg. Karl Frazer brought the egg from Germany in 1896. It has since been a Finnish easter tradition.

What to buy in 1969

The pictures above are from a wedding book printed in 1969. Not that I´m expecting a proposal anytime;o) The book is about how to dress, clean, cook, and maintain the husband! In other words a book for a housewife back in the days.

Colorfull Copco

I'w been collecting Copco pans and pots for some years now. I'm mostly interested in the yellow ones, but they are not that common. I gave $ 25 for the blue Le Creuset pot in a salvation army store (happy days). I love the size and I use it for everything from molded wine to great big curries. The small yellow pan is perfect for two eggs in the morning, one for Kristjan and one for me:o)

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

It´s International women´s day today and I attended a lecture about women's role in todays society at the Faroese House in Copenhagen. When bicycling my way home I thought about the famous quote by Madeleine Albright that also was mentioned at the lecture:

"There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”

and I must conclude that all my fellow female bloggers are going directly upstairs to heaven. The blogsphere is very much a positive and encouraging "place" where women from all backgrounds, beliefs, nationalities and age can stand together and share a part of their/our lives.

Birita a great friend of mine and I spent last sunday together before she went to Ghana as a socialworker. There was hint of spring in the air so niçoise salad seemed appropriate. Come tuesday and viola it started snowing, so guess it wasn´t spring time afterall. Oh well all good things come to those who wait, right!?
