Christmas gifts for her

The jolly season is around the corner and I´ve put together a couple of gift ideas for the ladies. For my part, I can´t wait! I don´t think it´ll be a very generous Santa, but I´m sure I´ll get a couple of scented candles and perhaps a new sweater, in fact, I´m gonna make sure of that! 😉

Celebrating my husband´s success at Taco Republica

Yesterday my husband made his first satchel and I´m so immensely proud of him! He´s designing and making leather accessories by hand and although very talented, it´s been a tough ride. The Norwegian market is small and uptight and people are so rude, 90% of all mails he writes remain unanswered! This being said, we´re going to Berlin for the SEEK trade show! And we have high hopes! He´s already been contacted by a trade show in New York (they tried to persuade him to attend), an internet shop that wants to promote his products and a couple of private persons for smaller commissions. 😉 Yey!

So today we felt like celebrating his success and what better way to do it than with a beer and some tacos in the sun! In Scandinavia, you learn to make do with the weather you have and a sunny day is a festivity in itself! IMG_5066

Tallowin purses

My husband works with leather and since the market in Norway is small, he´s doing a lot of research abroad to place his goods in bigger stores. On one of his daily “wanderings” in the internet design jungle, he stumbled upon Mark Tallowin, a British purse maker. I love the clean lines and the elegant look of his bags! Hope to be able to purchase one very soon! If you want to support quality and small manufacturers, this is definitely the place to start!

Essential Articles in the Making

My man has finally launched his web store and I´m so proud of him, I can´t even begin to tell you! He´s been working as an accesoires designer for 3 years now and it´s a tough market in Norway. Artisan work is just starting to be appreciated here and the high cost of labor implies high prices, too. He mainly works with leather and everything he makes in hand sewn. Take a look and support a local business!
