Northern Lights

I don´t know why, but lately I´m intrigued by all things Scandinavian.

I keep watching Wallander (the BBC version), not because I like it particularly, I find the protagonist irritating, but because it looks so gorgeous.  Those infinite greys, the soft blues and greens.  Mist.  Rain.  Darkness and shadow.



 Norskedalen

The part of the US I grew up in was settled by Norwegians, Swedes and Germans.  There´s even a preserved 1800´s historical spot called Norskedalen, nearby.


 I have childhood memories of locals demonstrating rosemaling, hardanger embroidery, the annual Oktoberfest and all those northern delights.

So I´ve put together a collection of blogs I enjoy.


Made in Persbo - a lovely Swedish photographer and interior design aficionado.


 Livs Lyst - about restoring a Norwegian Farm.  It loses something with google translation but I love the weathered wood and views from their farm.


NaKIN - a wide-ranging Icelandic blog on soap making, natural dyeing, even genuine eiderdown production (she´s cleaning the down by hand!)


K & Co.  is a Danish design blog with very beautiful and interesting stuff to look at.


Riihivilla - another brilliant natural dyeing blog.  And check out her shop for the cutest kits for mittens.

And last but certainly not least, though I can´t link an image The Essence of the Good Life - gorgeous style blog.  And also her Landscaping/Garden blog The Green Garden Gate.
