Danish Xmas Tree

Earlier this week, Robert and I made the executive decision not to have a Christmas tree.  This past month has been hectic for both of us work-wise, then we were away at the Hamburg Christmas Markets, and when we finally got around to thinking about a tree, it was cold, rainy and windy, and we… Continue Reading

Thrifted Change Purse

November 9, 2014 By Sage 2 Comments

Just because I seem all sorts of fancy these days doesn’t mean I’ve lost my love of secondhand treasure hunting.  Scoring an awesome thrift shop deal will always excite me far more than a new designer something or other :) Fabulous finds are tougher to come by in Aarhus where there are more people shopping,… Continue Reading

Vintage Vanity Set

October 27, 2012 By Sage 2 Comments

A vintage vanity set has been at the top of my wishlist for as long as I can remember.  Usually, the brushes are in poor condition, the hand mirrors are hazy, or something’s missing.  I’d almost given up hope, but this one is just perfect! Another vintage wish comes true! As I cleaned and polished… Continue Reading

Moor Oak Earrings

October 4, 2012 By Sage 3 Comments

They were a gift from an 85 year old retired Danish school principal, who carved them from an 800 year old (give or take) piece of moor oak!He explained that the wood is naturally black from spending centuries covered by water and mud, which deprived it of oxygen, but preserved it, turning it hard and… 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!
