Flying Tiger Traveler’s Notebooks
Every time I’m in Stockholm I visit a shop called Flying Tiger Copenhagen. It’s a chain store of cheap but cute Danish design originating from Copenhagen.

Inspiration from Syfestivalen in Stockholm
Syfestivalen is Swedish and means “Festival of Sewing”. These days it is actually called Sewing and Craft Festival, but I think I’ll just keep calling it the short and sweet Syfestivalen for ever.

Present moment awareness is the point of power and choice. It frees us from our compulsive thoughts. Laura […]
A Stockholm Must See: Spring in Kungsan
Is it just me, or have spring been unusually beautiful this year? And long, stretching for weeks with blossoms in every tree top… At least I’ve been walking like in a haze, looking up at the tree tops most of the time. Maybe it was because I started spring of early by making a visit […]
Week in the Life | More Monday Photos
Still some mist lingering this Monday morning as I arrived to the train station, but once I was in Stockholm the sky was blue and clear. I stopped once again on my way to work to document one of my favorite sculptures of this town, the Dandelion fountain. I pass it everyday as I walk […]
