Trolls!!

We went to see this Norwegian mockumentary last night, and it was GREAT! The "Troll hunter" has been sold to many countries, so it might be appearing on a cinema near YOU! Go see it, -it's great fun!!

And then there was snow...

Last night we had this winters first snow in Oslo. Today we woke up to a lovely cold and clear day with the city dressed up in a cake frosting-look.. beautiful! It's time to put the sandals and the shorts into the storage, and check if we have a decent amount of wollen socks left from last winter. I absolutely love the change of seasons... Colder weather and less daylight means I can spend more time with some of my "friends"..

Big in Japan

Last night I watched a documentary on the Canadian band Anvil with Sigrid. Although I've seen it once before, it made me all fuzzy and warm again. One word: Dedication. I think every person who's ever played in a band that never made it to the charts (... or even just pretended to play guitar whenever listening to Gary Moore in they're pink room as a kid...) will probably love this film.

But the film is also about lifelong friendships, and family support... -And big 80's hair do's, man!

Star Wars

How incredibly cool is this?? Can be bought on Etsy at homesweetwalls
I want one!

TV is OK!

Lately I've enjoyed the company of my television, to the extent that our Etsy shop has suffored a little. I've enjoyed Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Lovely Bones, Coraline, Shameless and of course Dexter.

Good movies and series and the heroes that live in them, deserves to be enjoyed.
In the meantime our little shop gets a little updated every now and then, so stay tuned!

Golden Saturday

There's something about the things that were filmed in the 60's that makes me think about that decade as golden. Maybe it's just the fact that the pictures that dates from that time in general has more yellow in them, and that it makes everything looks warmer. Maybe it's because the pace was a bit slower, and everything just looks a bit calmer, more friendly, distant and dreamy.. And the fact that I never got to experience that time, since I was born almost 20 years too late.

Someone at work showed me this video on Wednesday, and the tune has been stuck on my mind since that. It makes the days seem more golden.. Enjoy your weekend!

Harry Potter og nettshopping

I går var jeg og noen venner og så Harry Potter og halvblodsprinsen. I mine øyne ikke den beste Potter filmen. Den var vel litt.. fyllmasse i Potter-serien, litt pausemusikk mens man venter på den store avslutningen.

Èn fin ting med Potter filmene er at de alltid får meg til å glede meg til vinteren! Vakkert hvitt landskap og mennesker inntullet i skjerf, og som vasser rundt i snø, får meg rett å slett til å glede meg til de kalde månedene!

Denne uken var vi på forsiden av Etsy igjen med dette smykket, som jeg hadde kalt "The Golden Snitch", inspirert av filmen, selvfølgelig.. Temaet for forsiden var Harry Potter, og blandt de andre aktørene var dette skjerfet fra ParkaProject... Fantastisk fint!! Og til 42 gærninger har man altså et skikkelig varmt - og uendelig tøft skjerf som ennå ikke finnes på Hennes&Mauritz!

Til alle som nøler med å handle på nettet; Etsy er et veldig bra sted å begynne. Det er trygt, og jeg har ennå til gode å oppleve å bli snytt. Hvis man i tillegg bruker Paypal er man rimelig safe. Hva er vel morsommere enn å åpne postkassen og oppdage at det ligger en pakke til deg oppi??

Yesterday me and some friends went to see Harry Potter and the half blood prince at the cinema. In my opinion not the best of the Harry Potter movies.

However; I always start looking forward to winter when I watch any of the Potter-movies. The beautiful white winter landscapes, and people dressed in thick scarves and sweaters does it for me, and makes me long for snow and the cold months..

This week we appeared on a Etsy frontpage where the theme was Harry Potter. Our necklace "The Golden Snitch" was featured along with a very cool scarf made by ParkaProject, which looks really good, not to mention warm! Nothing like having something you cannot just go to a chain store and buy! -And there's nothing like getting packages in the mail eigther!
