Coming soon!

My new product, card holders in the Enchanted Garden print is coming soon to my shop.

I just have to make them in all the different colours, and get some good photos taken first.

Jeg holder på å sy kortholdere (visittkort, kredittkort, småpenger, smykker, hårstrikker, all slags småtteri-vesker) i Enchanted Garden trykket mitt. Skal bare sy i alle fargene først og få tatt noen gode bilder, så kommer de i butikken min!

Norwegian folk art

Today I want to share with you a beautiful piece of craft. Not contemporary, but made a hundred years ago! I got it from my mother in law. Her grandmother made it!

Maybe she lived in a house like this?
This is one of the old houses under Helleren in Rogaland. The last people to live here, moved away around 1920.

Her et stykke godt, gammelt håndarbeid. Det er en ca 100 år gammel nålepute (?) som jeg har fått av min svigermor. Det er bestemoren hennes som har laget den.
Kanskje hun bodde i et hus som dette? Huset på bildet er et av husene under Helleren i Rogaland. Fraflyttet rundt 1920.

New design

My new design, the Enchanted Garden print, is printed.
I have printed on vintage napkins and patches for pouches etc.
First out are yellow linen napkins with green print. Now listed in the shop.

Enchanted garden

I'm printing my first enchanted garden prints tomorrow! I'm quite excited about it. I found some lovely linen napkins at a fleamarket on sunday. Now they're washed, ironed and ready for a new life with print on.
To be continued...

Frontpage

I'm so happy! My treasury reached the frontpage on Etsy this morning. Later, my last childrens shopping bag was featured on the frontpage and were sold some minutes later.
This is the first time I have been on the frontpage, so it's really thrilling for me!

Here's the childrens tote. I will make a new one and put in the shop soon.

Sweet William

A good tip for your garden is Sweet William (Dianthus Barbatus). It's a perennial and is one of the easiest to grow. And, best of all, it is the most colourful and long lasting cutflower you could want. You can buy the seeds here in greenthings shop.

If you'll rather go to the seaside, look into my new treasury: "We went to the sea."

Busknelliken er en gammel sliter. Den har vært ukul og kjedelig i mange år, men nå er tiden inne til å ta den inn i hagen igjen! Den har mange gode egenskaper; er kjempelett å dyrke, kommer igjen år etter år, er slående flott i buketter og holder seg lenge som avskåret.
Frø kan blant annet kjøpes her i greenthings butikk på Etsy.

Hvis hagearbeid ikke er noe for deg og du heller vil tilbringe sommeren ved sjøen, kan kanskje mitt nye treasury "We went to the sea" sette deg i den rette stemningen.

And the winner is...

Moa helped me draw the winner. And as you can see, Kastafiore was the lucky winner of my giveaway! The penguin lanyard will be on its way to you very soon, Kastafiore.

The spring collection is on it's way

Mrs Cow has had a spring makeover. She is now printed in brighter, more spring friendly colours. More bags are coming. Even some for children. This bag is in the shop already.
