Hej hej Stockholm

Have lunch at the Stockholm Stadsmission, they have nice food and coffee at this cafe at a very central spot in Gamla Stan. The Stadsmission also has several nice shops with secondhand stuff spread throughout town and also make their own REMAKE's.

Around Gotgatan / Sodermalm is the place to be for shopping. A mix of design, second hand, scandinavian fabrics, sushi, coffee and some typical swedish brands that I love! Your shopping day should include a visit to the DesignTorget and Granit (Gotgatan 31) for interior design, Gina Tricot (Gotgatan 30) to buy some basics for in your wardrobe and you can find great vintage at Emmaus (Peter Myndes backe 8).

I look forward to visiting Stockholm again, bye bye....

Reuse #69

Topos 69 presents examplary re-use strategies and projects from all over the world, some of them I visited recently: The High Line, NYC (opened last summer), Utopia in Green and Blue: The new urban development Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm, Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park a.o.
It seems a very interesting issue with example projects that are well integrated in the urban fabric.

Happy Birthday

Today Cat from Stockholm celebrates her birthday. From the moment we met in Melbourne in 2004 we found out that we share the passion for personal gifts. Last few years many personalised presents have been made using the pictures of our life in Australia; flaglines, recipe book, advent calender and this year I have made cocktail sticks.
