Another Dream Accomplished

April 27, 2012 By Sage 2 Comments

It’s been a longtime dream of mine to be completely debt free, and its finally here! This week, I made the final deposit against the loan on my flat, I own the place free and clear! It’s an odd feeling to owe noone. It’s liberating, yet anti-climatic. Back in Connecticut, I dreamed a lot about… Continue Reading

Thrifted Red Coat

January 15, 2012 By Sage 3 Comments

Aside from a few designer pieces, most of my wardrobe is secondhand/vintage, but secondhand clothing bargains are few and far between in Denmark. However, I was in the right place at the right time yesterday, and I scored this practically new coat for 120 kr! (about $23) Red is one of my favorite colors :)Perfect.

Thrifted Desk Chair

June 11, 2011 By Sage 5 Comments

Tied to my bike with bungee cords because when the perfect desk chair shows up at the secondhand shop for 165 Crowns (about $30), there’s no time to be a princess. After paying $40 to replace the light bulb in my bathroom, yes the light bulb, not the actual light, I needed something like this!

Making a Home

May 8, 2011 By Sage 4 Comments

I’ve never been a “that will do” sort of person, I need to love everything in and about my home. Moving continents was a feat in and of itself. Trying to make a home in a place where I don’t know the shops, don’t have a car, and most places close early on weekdays, open… Continue Reading

When life hands you granny fabric, make napkins!!! Awhile back, I was given a stack of quilting fabric that was more Grandma Walton than Sage & Simple.

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
