Skansen, ett oas i Stockholm! Jag har säkert varit här 150 gånger minst.. Sist jag var där så såg jag några gamla stämplar jag skulle vilja använda, jag frågade mannen som arbetade där och han sa att jag kunde ta med min silvermedaljong och få använda deras stämpel! Fantastiskt snällt! Så nu har jag gjort … Läs mer
We have some old leather arm chairs from my husbands grand parents. His grand mother was a Primadonna at an theater in Stockholm. And these arm chairs are from that theatre. We just have two, and they are old and worn. But they fit perfectly in our house. The stool is new, and I got … Läs mer
I picked up a ”few” items during my years in Shanghai. One of them is buddhas.. My husband counted them once, and apparently it was far too many. And then my friends gave me some more buddhas as a farewell gift! But he actually approved our garden Buddha. The lantern was a gift for myself;) … Läs mer
August is the greenest month here in Sweden, I just love it. Except all then weeding.. But I’m going for the not so much weeding look;) I’m so lucky that I can spend my lunch hour in the garden,because my studio is in our basement. I prefer to have herbs in pots, and then the … Läs mer
Lars had picked out a Chinese restaurant for us, Waipo. We had a nice time, but the food weren’t that impressive. But after living in China twice, we aren’t that easy to impress.. We took a nice walk afterwards in Stockholm, and ended up at a concert. It is Stockholm’s Culture Festival now, and we looked … Läs mer
No more beaches, it is time to get back to the studio again. And my hands are just itching to unpack all the tools I inherited from my neighbors. Their father made pretty hammers. And had a lot of fantastic tools. As my father was an silver smith in the 60s, he can explain some … Läs mer
I’ve spent 2 months at our summer house with the kids, my husband has been here back and forth. Its been a pretty rainy summer, but still magic. I just love the white sandy beaches, the smell of salty water, the breeze in my hair. All the friends that’s been visiting, or them we have … Läs mer
Perfect way to impress on the kids in the morning. Freshly baked croissants with Nutella. And they taste as good as they do when we buy them from the bakery! My secret, I buy the dough😂😂 But don’t tell anyone;)
He is just down the road from my summer house. Or not really, it takes 25 minutes on my bicycle to bike there. I can buy locally grown veggies and eggs from his farm. Everything is just laying there, out on some tables. So I pick out everything I need, and then I just put … Läs mer
The perfect place to lay down and read a book, or for the kids to sit and chill down a bit. With their phones.. And it’s a great place to get some use of all the pillow cases I pick up everywhere. The blanket is an old Indian bed cover. Super soft.
I found this old table in one of the sheds when we got our summer house. I suppose the old man that owned the house before us used it for his plants.. I just love mixing old weird stuff with new. And I love picking up odd things when we are out traveling.
It’s a very nice way to start the day. When summer started this year I imagined myself out on our porch in the sunshine. But this summer is more like, great no rain.. But it was nice to listen to the sound of the sea, and do some yoga this morning.
In the outskirts of Shanghai I have a friend, the old man in Pudong;) He has this big warehouse filled with ”antiques” Some old, some new. And opposite him there is this wood carver who makes these beautiful buddhas among other things. And I really like this one, it is so welcoming sitting on an … Läs mer
So the 2nd time I lived in Shanghai I went to one of my favourite shops (Simply Living) to order a BIG cupboard that could hold everything my husband thinks that we don’t need. This was the biggest size he could make. It’s like an old bedding cupboard, except that I have twice as many … Läs mer
So I decided to blog again. This time about the life as a silver smith outside Stockholm. No more crazy brunches in Shanghai, except when I visit my old neighbour hood there;) It will be a lot of interior design, updates from my studio, and food. And to see my jewellery; http://www.bymalin.shop
