supermarco

Yesterday D took me to the Italian supermarket, Supermarco -I couldn't wait after his last trip and the grana pandano and the 99% chocolate! Its a long but beautiful walk from our home and there were so many fantastic things at the supermarket! Row after row of all my favorite things like pasta, olives, salami, cheese, espresso and tipo 00 flour with 12,7% protein!! I can't believe i have only spent one day in Italy many years ago -i will seriously have to go the original source soon! I would have shown you much more of this food mecca, but a feisty italian woman stopped me from taking more pictures after the salami counter.

▶ STEFANIE: Im so exited to see it all come together! i hope they will film it!
▶ Sofie: You are absolutely correct! The drawings are the illustrations for a bodysuit! its gonna look amazing -Karen Segall has made bodysuits before that were crazy beautiful.

Marybell+Mønsted+Segall

I have written about my sisters music before and now i once again have an exiting experience for anybody in Copenhagen or Århus: the 22 of october in Århus and the 23rd in Copenhagen my sisters band Marybell Katastrophy will play two concerts under the title: Exploding in explosion. Music will mix with visuals when Jens Mønsted will play visuals to the music like you would play an instrument and the band will play in these amazing illustrations by the talented Karen Segall. I think its really gonna be an explosion for all senses. See more of Karen Segalls work on her blog and read more about the concerts here (in danish)

▶ Fenke: I call my mom mutti too :)
▶ Dennis: We forgot to even listen to First we take manhattan...
▶ Minna: That sounds both strange and delicious! thanks for the tip!
▶ milk tooth's rain: I know, 80% is my favorite! Yes im thinking in a cake or maybe shredded on top of a layered cake.

▶ Oda: Elisabeth and Camilla made it -look at the studio violet website -but i don't think there are any cups left

the italian connection

D went for a walk with E and came back with among other things a giant piece of grana pandano and 99% chocolate. It all came from an italian supermarket here in copenhagen that i for some strange reason have never visited in the many years i have lived here. The 99% chocolate was the weirdest thing i have ever tasted! it took over your whole mouth and it was impossible to eat more than half a centimeter! i think i will make a cake with the rest.

▶ Lundt: That song would be perfect for building a bench!
▶ Shokoofeh: I actually feel like have to find some non-triangle things soon. Im going a bit mad.
▶ when skies are grey: What a delicious suggestion! could i eat the food afterwards i wonder?
▶ Sabine Okami: Thank you!
▶ Toktokada: Friends are what makes it all  worth it!
▶ Ella: Thats so good!
▶ puer kim: ha ha thank you for that! and keep stopping by!
▶ Emma: oh no, we didn't! is there a song we need to listen to while painting blue? im gonna do that tomorrow!
▶ Irene: I find myself searching for figs every time i walk past a fruit display :)
▶ Sofie: Im actually starting to wonder about that. Whats the new shape gonna be? hexagon?

cha-cha-cha-changes

Here is one of the changes we made: we sawed off some of our kitchen island to make a bit more room for the dining table. Then we painted an mdf board to put on the back. The black triangle is painted with chalk board paint (Thank you Niller, you can finally get it back :)) so children and childlike ground-ups can customize it! Somehow it ended up matching a set-up in the living room perfectly. Now im gonna build a bench.

▶ schorlemädchen: Thank you so much. I went a little fig crazy on my birthday
▶ Dessa: Actually the pizzas were just about the only thing with no figs -but it would have been delicious! I like goat cheese + honey on pizza too!

B is for birthday and B is for Brunch

Only now getting around to showing little snippets from my birthday celebrations. After a quiet "just the three and a half of us"-birthday birthday I did a little more celebrating sunday when i had a bunch of sweet sweet people over for brunch followed by cake followed by pizza. I LOVE when people stay over a whole day and you can just take it easy, go for a walk and eat a little more. Im really frustrated that i totally forgot to photograph the brunch and much of the celebrations, but i will show you some of the left overs instead

▶ Kristine: :) i know
▶ Miriam: Thank you for that sweet comment
▶ Mon: Tak! im really glad you like it here!
▶ Line: Thank you so much! what great compliments!
▶ Allesistgut: Yeah, thats why beautiful food works so well on blogs!
▶ Jokemijn: hi hi -its the worst when you just stare at beautiful food and do not dare to eat it!
▶ Lilla a: i would wear them!
▶ Emma: Tak tak! you can wish me happy birthday any day you want
▶ Kerry: Thank you so much!
▶ Ella: I know -i could never make something that precise!
▶ KLW: Thank you! I feel so lucky that i got to meet her
▶ Fruenswerk: TAK! ja, det var virkelig sjovt at få nogle virkelige ansigter på sådan nogle blogmennesker!
▶ Gracia: Thank you! i can assure you that i have been eating A LOT of cakes! and i will continue - oktober is cake month!

Cookieboy!

Who told me about Cookie boy?? I don't remember, but i am in love whit this cookie boys aesthetics!

▶ everyone: Thank you for all the sweet birthday wishes and all sorts of sweet sweet comments! -Ryan James: Its a digital clock i bought in malmö some years ago -we put it in the kitchen because our new stove doesn't have a clock. -Maria: I haven't mastered the crema part yet, but its a good mokka maker!

thank you

Thank you for all the sweet birthday wishes! I had the loveliest of days! good food and good times -tomorrow i will make brunch for my friends!

yep

Today is my birthday. i love it! it started with breakfast and gifts early in the morning + the rainy weather i ordered: it makes staying in so much nicer and you can't have a autumn birthday without rain. I got a new coffee toy from my parents: The Bialetti Brikka -a mokka maker that creates crema. The rest of the morning im gonna play with it, eat a danish and read the paper.

inspiration

I spent the afternoon at Underwerket Projects (im so in love with that wall of wooden logs) in the company of other bloggers (among others) listening to Elisabeth Dunker of Fine little day giving a talk on her projects and the way she works. I have only met "blog-friends" in real life a few times before, but im so glad that it is always such an inspiring experience!
Now im gonna turn in to a little child and impatiently wait for tomorrow to come...

▶ Maja: Ja, de bukser er ret så gode. Ville ønske de fandtes i min størrelse.
▶ Jana: she has been so easy to handle before, because she didn't move around much, but i like that its changing
▶ Kitt: YEah, me too!
▶ Jenny: It will never end, but hooray for that!
▶ Lisen: She always get all the cool patterns!
▶ B: jeg ligger allerede vågen og venter på at det bliver morgen

colours

just a little colourful-midweek-hello. Elinor got some new toys. and she is crawling. finally :)

padlocks of love

A white/gray walk on islandsbrygge, walking to a mall on the other side of the water for building supplies. Copenhagen has copied, is it praques?, romantic padlocks of love - oh i just googled it and i guess padlocks of love is a world wide phenomenon - but none the less it is a pretty new thing on the pretty new brygge-bridge and i like the look. We didn't bring a lock.

▶ Lisen: i can't say changes without singing that song either
▶ Dessa: I know the feeling - but i could never get rid of my things :)
▶ Erica: I like sleeping in a different room once in a while
▶ B: Det var skam ham der savede!
▶ Emma: i hate change things i build myself! thats the hardest!
▶ Jana: Yeah me too when i bake - there is flour everywhere!
▶ Emma: wow a gold print would be so cool!
▶ Wide-eyed + Sopchan: i will show you as soon as they are presentable!

fixing

We are sawing and fixing and painting. I like changes, but I kind of want to be done now. Start just using things again. But when we are done, I will probably find something new to change.

▶ Everyone: thank you for all the sweet comments -and Bar Le Duc: i know someone who is very happy that you noticed :)
