Nå har jeg det supertravelt.
-For jeg skal stå på julemarkedet på DogA i helgen med tingene mine.
(Hvis alt går etter planen, kommer jeg til å ha med meg noen helt nye håndklær.)
Kom og hils på meg da vel!

Etsy Christmas


I have a crush on vintage mercury glass ornaments... and Etsy has loads of them. -But do I dare to order such fragile items from so far away?
These are from Wise Apple.
Here's an Etsy treasury list I've made with vintage Christmas decorations.


If I do take the plunge and order some glass ornaments, I would surely need this wonderful wooden and eco friendly Christmas tree from Wood Wool Stool.


Here's more lovely decorations:
Glass ornaments from Found vintage objects.
Tiny decorative mittens from Gazaboo.
Christmas trees from adatine.
Dear Santa decal from Circle Line Studio.



Christmas tree tags from Katie Blair Desings.
Art photo from Lucy Snowe Photography.
Some very charming reindeer and Santa ornaments, Chelles Treasure.
Gift tags, Atelier 22.

Shop news: Reindeer for men

I have listed some Christmas & reindeer t-shirts for men.
Here's one with a speech bubble with: Merry Christmas. Model: Jurjen Kuil.


Norwegian version of the Christmas t-shirt. God jul!
Model: Tor Hemma.

If you prefer the more neutral version with only the reindeer,
you can find it in my Epla shop and my Etsy shop.

Done some printing


Hi there!
I've spent time in my laundry room again printing t-shirts and teatowels with reindeers.
Since I've experienced some problems with white colour on linen, I've made a new design for Christmas with only one reindeer and no snow.
The reindeer says "Merry Christmas!" or "God Jul!" or you could even have a more season neutral version without the speech bubble.


This teatowel is in my Epla shop.



If you prefer the English version, it can be found in my Etsy shop. (If you are a Norwegian customer and wants this one, just send me an email and I'll list one for you at Epla.)

I have printed some t-shirts for men too. I'll show you as soon as I have found a male model who will look good with reindeers on.

My woodburning stove


I have thrown out the kerosene stove and replaced it with a woodburning stove.
Today I used it for the first time. And now, it seems like everything have fallen in place. Because earlier this autumn, when I dreaded the thought of colder seasons, I asked myself:
What makes autumn a  nice and cozy season?
My answer was: Wood in the stove and homemade food.
-So that's my cure, and it works.

What's your recipe for a cozy autumn and winter?

Teatowel winners

You had many great suggestions for me for my teatowels.
It was difficult to choose. But one suggestion made me burst into laughter, so I think that must be the winner:
Rune B has won with: Faulty Towels
Congratulations, Rune!

And then, there's the random picked winner: Min Verden, was the winner of the other teatowel.
Congrats to you too!

The winners can contact me through my Epla shop.

Happy weekend to everyone!

November tote


I made this tote today. The fabric is a flea market find a couple of weekends ago. I think it suits November. November is such a beautiful and silent month. At least if you go outside. The fields are plowed and ready for winter. There's always a mist somewhere, far or near, that wipes out the details and makes the landscape melancholy and mysterious.
I was in the garden with the rabbit. A woodpecker was working on a lamp post near by.
I guess I haven't shown you the rabbit? He is a handsome young man. I have to have a rabbit photo shoot soon.


It's getting harder and harder to take decent product photos. The light is so difficult to work with.
I have also done a lot of printing in my laundry room workshop today.
Hopefully there will be some new pouches soon.
