Glimpses of Thailand - Blues

The last post with photos from our trip are The Blues. As you can tell it was a very quiet and peacefull trip - and just what I needed to recover completely. Back home in Denmark is so cold and crisp - with lots of snow - and it´s so hard to get back to work again.... Life IS a Beach!

Singapore - Koh Chang - Koh Mak - Koh Kood - Bangkok.

Glimpses of Thailand - MUTED

Here´s some photos with muted colours - and YES that´s my arm around the elephant - and NO I would never share my Pringles with a monkey! and also I think Nanna´s smile says it all!

Glimpses of Thailand - RED

I´ve started to go through my photo from our wonderful holiday in Thailand - and I´ve decided to post some according to colours - so I´ll start with RED - because of the New Year! have a great weekend.

Happy Holidays

A lot of people ask how we celebrate Christmas when in Thailand - and the answer is that we almost don´t. But on the 24th there´s always some kind of plastic tree under which we can put our small presents - from the local touristshop. And if we travel with other children like this year - we might dance around the Christmas tree and sing a song or 2 - while all the other guests look bewildered at us (it´s a Danish thing). After unwrapping the presents we eat a nice Christmas dinner - often western inspired - prepared by the resort. Last year we enjoyed this sunset - and wore funny little paper hats while dinning... It´s not the traditional way for sure - but it´s the perfect way for us.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas - just the way YOU want it to be...

Take care - see you in 2010.

Berlin Berlin

One of my oldest and dearest friends is having her first book published today. Berlin Berlin - a different guide book about Berlin, where she has been living for the last 5 years with her husband and 2 daughters. It´s written in Danish -and is the perfect gift for any Berlin lover or Berlin traveller! And last night I was busy making this temporary website for them- while I wait for the hosting to work out!

See you next week. Have a great weekend.

Add red - Singapore

Things have gotten back to normal a little bit too quick after the Holidays - with colds and the flu and grey colours outside - so here´s a few snapshots from our days in Singapore - one of them was spent in Singapore Zoo - which it´s such a great and lush place to wander around with or without kids - and a visit to Chinatown for dinner and some shopping afterwards is always fun.

This is the first post in my new ADD RED WEEK here at my blog - old posts here. I know it´s good feng shui and all - but red is a colour that just doesn´t come easy to me. So this week I´ll add red everyday here at the blog. Feel free to join in and leave a comment if you do. please.

Le petit atelier de Paris

A visit to Le Petit Atelier de Paris is now on my wishlist - how can one resist a shop with such lovely window decorations and products like the ones above.. Here you can visit the shop or the blog. I found it via Designsponge´s regional roundup Paris created by Anne who has done a great job selecting some great and interesting designers - and it seems like France/Paris is in a really crafty and creative mood right now when it comes to design with a female touch.

Happy new year 2009

Hi again - we are back after a wonderful trip - my jetlag is over and I´m almost ready to start blogging again. I´ve spend so much time the last weeks just looking at the Andaman Sea at Koh Lipe and my mind is still there - still gazing at all the blue colours which I love so much. I wish you a wonderful new year 2009 - and I look forward to share it with you here.

Wishing you a merry Christmas

I´m wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. We are ready now to go to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi Island and Koh Lipe in Thailand - and will be back in the new year after a long and warm holiday full of rest and new inspiration. Take care and take it easy.

I´m not dreaming of a white christmas...

I´m having one of those days today - so I just had to make a little reminder for myself of where I´ll be within 3 weeks time - so here´s a little sea and sun if you need some too... I sure do - and will stop complaining right away now - and start looking forward to our Christmas Holiday instead...

I heart Barcelona

I could definetely live in Barcelona someday - here´s a few photos of what I saw.

Summer in Denmark

Maybe I should show you a few glimpses from our lovely holiday in our summerhouse here in Denmark. It was the first time we spent a holiday there and we loved it! p.s the black and white house is a restaurant - not our house.
