New TV addiction

Last year, I started to watch Broen/Bron. After having successfully avoiding the series for another year (I was proud of my "kicked" habit), I fell off the wagon and we started back on season 2. All I can say is.... Broen, you're killing me! Ugh! What an ending to season 2!! Now I have to watch season 3!!! Argh!!! ;)

Happy 2nd Advent to you all! xox

Happy treat

Yesterday evening, I went to the airport to pick up the son of a Danish friend of mine (a colleague from the lab I used to work at). He will be studying in Montreal for this semester as an exchange student. I am not quite sure why he picked the winter semester (!) but he seems excited by it ;) To remind me of Denmark, he brought some yummy lakrids treats.... Needless to say, there aren't very many left :) THEY ARE AWESOME!

I thought I would take a picture of them because they weren't going to last long ;)

Etsy addict... Wanderlust Clothing

 I have already mentioned a few times that I am an Etsy addict. For those who don't know of Etsy, you have to check it out... it is kind of like Ebay but craftier :) Even without shopping, it is a great place to browse and become inspired by the ideas. Another aspect that I really like is that you get to meet the person behind the purchase. Over the years, I have met some really lovely sellers- people who really put themselves into their work. One of the nicest sellers that I have ever met is Trish Stenzel of Wanderlust Clothing in Australia (click on her name for the link to her Etsy shop). Her work is so vibrant and a great quality. I love her retro-style prints and the workmanship is amazing! She makes great skirts with a fantastic yoga style waist band and tops/dresses that are very Japanese inspired. The fabric is a great quality that works well for travelling because it doesn't crease and it falls nicely, even after a day of sitting at a desk ;) Check out her site... and the many others on Etsy!


I have my eyes on this skirt (happy early birthday present to me? ;) ):

There is something about baboushkas ;)

Skirt #1 that I bought from Trish: Retro style bird fabric... more vibrant orange in real life...
Love it!

Skirt #2: Awesome nature/city print!
