Shopping in the Provence can be very boring: lavender sachets, ceramic cicadas, table cloths with provencal prints… not the things I’d bring home. When I heard that a concept store opened in Pernes les Fontaines, in the middle of the Provence, I was intrigued. Last week I visited La Maison Pernoise and found it such Read article…

Bonjour from down under
Bonjour from down under! No not from the other side of the world, but "just" from the South of France. We're enjoying a belated summer holiday here, amongst apple trees, sheeps and mountains.

Malmö Slottsträdgården
On my walk through the King's park not far from the Malmö castle, I stumbled upon this organic community garden called Slottsträdgården (Castle Garden). And I loved it!

Hay House Copenhagen
Located on the 1st and 2nd floor of a downtown Copenhagen apartment, HAY HOUSE made me fall in love with pink again.

The light of Copenhagen
What struck me most in Copenhagen were not the delicious Danish pastries, not the laid back people, not the view, not the beautiful ceramics, but the blue skies and bright light. They say the light in Venice – Italy is the best, but oh boy: Copenhagen your light is amazing! I kept looking up and Read article…
The amazing CPH view
Before taking you into downtown Copenhagen, I'll show you the view from above today! I guess it was the exterior staircase swirling around the top of the tower like sundae ice cream, that made me convince Giova to climb to the top of the Vor Frelsers Kirke. The view over Copenhagen promised to be "amazing" Read article…
