*special shops*

i finally got back on my bike yesterday after being away and had time to explore østerbronx. it's about a 10 minute bike ride from here, and there are tons of cool little shops. well maybe not tons, but a good handful. my favorite discovery was a shop called forsberg, the home shop for modern living. the woman who runs it is very sweet, and carries lots of amazing local/scandinavian designers work. i am going back to get some of these cups made by a joint effort -- graphic designer (liebe) and a couple who produces them (urbanite) by liebe ceramics by urbanite! all of the displays in the shop look so good, perhaps some other purchases will be made as well...

i see these patterns in pillows & pot holders by fribert all over the place. all hand printed!


mette & malene's work looking great on display. super cute snap-together kid utensils:

this is new work from anne black that i've never seen before:

i also found another sweet little shop called søstjernen. they've got a really small shop for womens shoes/clothes, and also a kids shop. this is what their floor looks like:

so special!
one last find from smykker (jewelry) shop i found in stockholm that i took for amy:
