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.
New Decorating Dilemma
I generally have a “no paint” policy when it comes to wood. I love the look of painted furniture, but I’ve never had a piece come out really, really amazing. But now I’m faced with a dilemma.

I struggled with what to do with this fabric, and then it struck me… napkins!!! The first batch of 23 is done :) Here are my sewing instructions… Continue Reading
How to Freeze Cooked Dried Beans
Denmark’s selection of beans is paltry at best. A few weeks ago, wanted to serve my veggie enchiladas at an impromptu dinner party, but I couldn’t because I hadn’t soaked any dried black beans and none of the four grocery stores I shopped had them in cans. Dried beans are definitely the most economical choice, but… Continue Reading
