Nice article in The New York Times about a short vacation visit to my Stockholm. “STOCKHOLMERS revel in the long days of summer when the sun rises as early as 3:30 a.m. and doesn’t set until after 10 p.m. Many locals escape to their country houses, but those who remain in the city spend as […]

Today it was Skärgårdsbåtens Dag! Skärgårdsbåtens Dag was first celebrated in 1964 with some of Waxholmsbolagets steamboats. Since then, the event has grown to include dozens of ferries and thousands of passengers and spectators, and is organized each year in early June by the Skärgårdens trafikantförening. It is organised to mark the start of the […]

Visited today SAAB Värsalong in Nacka Strand in Stockholm. Great to see the new SAAB Concept car PhoeniX, the new SAAB 9-5 Sport-Combi, which looks much better in Real Life than on pictures. Saab is celebrating its first anniversary of its independence by unveiling an exclusive 9-3 Convertible Independence Edition, of which just 366 examples […]

Gray saturday in spring, good time to visit the Vårsalongen 2011 at Liljevalchs. Some of the works that i liked:

Went to see an exhibition of Maria Manuela (Vintilescu) in the Edsvik Konsthall in Sollentuna, north of Stockholm. Loved it!! Maria Manuela describes her pictures as Pop Icon’s, women painted in the so-called pop art fashion. She gets her nspiration from ancient Japanese woodblock prints with motifs of Japanese women with fantastic coiffures, red mouths, […]

Today the FIS World Cup sprint competition took place around the Royal Palace in Stockholm. A great event with new snow in the streets and beautiful sunshine. The two days ended with a Swede, Emil Jönsson winning the Men’s final. The crowd went crazy!

Today I visited the Retromässan in the Münchenbryggeriet on Södermalm, Stockholm. The Bumling lamp from ateljé Lyktan seems to become a real design classic. Designer in 1968 was Anders Pehrson. It was on display in many colors and sizes. Our large one is quite unique. Two years ago we bought ours at Folk & Form, […]

Yesterday evening we went to the Stockholm International Boatshow (Allt för sjön) and had a wonderful time watching the beautiful boat on display. Conventional boat like Targa, Bella, Flipper, Ryds, Aquador and AMT. But the modern designed boats were amazing, think about the new Delta 40 Sidewalk. But the most extreme boat on show was […]

The Kungliga biblioteket (Royal library) in Stockholm this afternoon. A beautiful spring day, temperature slightly above 4 degrees, but with the sun quite warm.
