No noel just yet

I'm not ready for the ornament invasion yet - Nikolina Flora is in a big way. So guess we'll be trimming our plastic tree soon

This summer thus far

We're enjoying the danish summer and for the most part hanging out at home until the worst heat and sunbeams have past. We vent to Tivoli two days in a row, visiting the Rasmus Klump playground and not spending a single dime the first day, but we caved an ice cream to share on the second day. I'm trying to hold back on the little I have, now attending school and no work...

2012 – a green bonanza

No home without plants!
We have just one criteria when it comes to plants. They need to be durable, because of our loooong visits to the Faroes.
I'm so into cactuses and have been ever since I was 13 years old and thought I was to be an architect and saw a tv documentary about Arne Jacobsen, where he among other things talked about his love for the cactus with its geometric structure. Succulent are pretty as well. Another plus with having plants are the ceramic and terra-cotta pots.

Spring?!

Spring when will you come visit? Love this image by Peter Kragballe, took it from Cammile Tanges blog. Nikolina Flora and I pass these trees every day and enjoy them and I agree with her they make the 80's social architecture look so much better.

All done...

I got my graphic design diploma yesterday. It is strange not to go to school nor to work.
So now it's official - I'm unemployed!
For now I'm enjoying freedom, all the flowers and gifts I received and cleaning the apartment.
Have a wonderful weekend :-)

On our way home...

We like saying hi to the ducks at Enghave Park on our way home from vuggestue (creche/day nursery). Only yesterday the ducks were all out taking a dip in the partially frozen pond. So we saluted the doves instead.

Natures Miracles

On Værndamsvej (a charming street between Copenhagen and Frederiksberg) lies a little shed. When you enter the shed you are met with an explosion of colors, scent and forms. Martin Reinicke is the owner and creator of Blomsterskuret (The Floershead). In addition to flower arranging Martin also makes pots. I'm the lucky owner of no less than three pots with Nikolina Floras foot and hand imprint on them. Two of them are gifts for my parents and in laws. I think flowers are small miracles, they cheer people up and give us hope...hallelujah :o)
NOTE I - I took these pictures whilst holding Nikolina in one arm on a rainy march day
NOTE II - the two pictures of Martins flowerpots are from his website
