the park above ground

the High Line is a NY city park built on a former elevated railroad track. it runs for 2 km along the

lower west side of manhattan, in the Meatpacking District. walking through the park is such a great

experience! the view is fantastic - you see the Hudson River on one side and some amazing buildings 

and city sights on the other. it's a must to visit the park when you're in NY!

I ♥ NY

back home from NY! every trip there is such a treat, i made sure to enjoy every second. and every time
i visit i discover something new - it's an endless source of inspiration! we had some sunny days and
some rainy days; we went to markets and to little shops; we had cupcakes and delicious pizza; we took
rides on the subway and we walked for hours; we enjoyed life on manhattan and had some fun times 
in brooklyn. a perfect trip.
these are just a few pics..more to come soon.

pretty packaging II

i really love the illustrations klas fahlén has made for ICA (a swedish food supermarket chain). 
the drawings are simple and very playful; it's so nice how he has created a collage mixing black 
lines with various patterns and colors. you can view more of the products here.

mix & match

i'm pretty happy with my pillow collection now, i like all the different patterns and colors.

you can never have enough books..

someone tried to throw these pretty books away - but I managed to save them! 

katarina & nina

my very talented studiopal katarina and her creative friend nina have made this beautiful window 
display at svensk slöjd in stockholm. this collection is called flickan & fågeln (the girl & the bird) 
and consists of several art and craft items that they have created - pillows, crochet patterns, flower
pot in the shape of a hat, birdfigures and more. You can view it here or visit the shop on Nybrogatan 23.
