KIOSK HELLO

Con­trary to it being passé or not I have always loved Ing­mar Bergman. I read his auto­bi­og­ra­phy, Marco and I met on the island of Fårö where he had his home, when I first moved to Swe­den I talked the Swedish Insti­tute into loan­ing me copies of their Eng­lish sub­ti­tled Bergman films they sent to […]

Look what we found in an antique store in Stock­holm! None other than our very own bird­house — a tried and true design that has housed birds in Swe­den for generations!

Imag­ine all the fla­vors you could pos­si­bly want in candy in one! Kryp­toniter is SOUR cherry, SWEET after the first layer, and SALTY licorice in the black stripe. The pack­ag­ing takes the cake! The down side is you have to travel all the way to Swe­den to get it. These bad boys can be purchased […]

so long!

So today kind of started so-so when walk­ing over to the store with a cof­fee in hand I got bumped by a large Scan­di­na­vian tourist who were swirling around in Wash­ing­ton Square Park, get­ting half my very expen­sive cof­fee spilled all over my very inex­pen­sive blazer. To con­sole myself I went to Grandaisy Bak­ery to […]

You are walk­ing through the for­est, imag­ine that as you nor­mally live in a city, and sud­denly you are hit on the head by a large object. It hurts. You want to start cry­ing but you real­ize that’s the way it goes in the wild, no pain no gain, it’s sur­vival of the fittest. The […]

We left for Swe­den to dec­o­rate a tree with our recently acquired orna­ments from Dullsville and to make and eat tra­di­tional foods. It’s nice here…    Christ­mas eve was cel­e­brated yes­ter­day — here in Swe­den, all the action is on the eve before — presents, Santa (sw:Jultomten), smörgås­bord (called jul­bord this time of year). Christmas […]

Mini #7 will be UGLYCUTE with “Exper­i­ments in Dakota Burl” — Novem­ber 18th — 26th. There is a open­ing party from 7pm to 10pm on Tues­day the 18th.
Exper­i­ments in Dakota Burl? When we sat down and thought about mak­ing our own prod­ucts we first thought about who we would like to work with, then we thought […]

One of my favorite things in the world is smoked shrimp, have you eaten this? Sounds a bit odd no? We were in Swe­den recently for a wed­ding and I was able to pick some up. Although I eat less and less things from the sea I had to make an allowance and go for […]
