Big gift, no car

August 13, 2010 By Sage 6 Comments

Big gift, no car

Ah, the joys of not having a car! I’m going to a birthday party tonight and this Bodum grill seemed like a great gift, until I got out of the store and realized that I had a giant gift wrapped box, a bike, a basket full of veggies, and a long trek home. The box… Continue Reading

Pashley Princess Sovereign Bike Review

Pashley Princess Sovereign Bike Review

I’ve wanted a Pashley Princess Sovereign for many years, so moving to Denmark and giving up my car seemed like the perfect time to scratch that itch. Getting my Pashley to Denmark was no easy feat! There’s only one Pashley dealer in all of Denmark and they didn’t reply to my inquiries, so I went… Continue Reading

Thrifted Sofa

Thrifted Sofa

I think I used up all of my good sofa karma when I found the vintage velvet sofa back in April. It’s totally my dream sofa, but I also wanted something a bit bigger and more cozy. I’ve been diligently stalking the thrift shops since early May to no avail. I contemplated buying something new,… Continue Reading

My Dutch Bike

My Dutch Bike

I’ve long coveted the Pashley Princess Sovereign, so when I gave up both of my cars and moved to Denmark, you’d think it would’ve been an easy choice. But, I’m a planner, an analyzer, and often, an overthinker. Over the past few months, I’ve talked myself in and out of so many bikes, that it… Continue Reading

It’s the vintage sofa of my dreams!

May 2, 2010 By Sage 4 Comments

It’s the vintage sofa of my dreams!

I’ve been dreaming of this vintage sofa forever… It’s made of velvet damask! It’s in pristine condition! It’s at least 50 years old!  And I scored it for 575 kr. (about $100) at a secondhand shop in Denmark! This is seriously the vintage sofa of my dreams! It’s staying in a friend’s studio until I move over to… Continue Reading

Velorbis Victoria Classic

April 22, 2010 By Sage Leave a Comment

Velorbis Victoria Classic

Rumor has it the Raleigh Glorie is actually built in Asia, so I’m reevaluating my bike options. I was quite smitten with Velorbis Victoria Classic, but it’s the most expensive bike I’ve considered, so I dismissed it as too boutique for daily riding. However, the Danish website has it for about $700 cheaper than the… Continue Reading

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!
