WALLPAPER: TOP 10

I'm doing some changes to my very small two room flat, and therefor I've been looking about for wallpapers. Well, I'm actually always on the lookout for wallpapers. I love wallpapers! Here's a top 10 list and I'd use them all if only my home was so much larger and my wallet so much thicker!
1. Nina Campbell, Swan Lake. This lovely wallpaper comes in a variety of colours and I especially like the colour above (I call it aubergine) and the one with yellow background. I WILL by this for a corner in my living-/bed room very soon.
2. Abigail Edwards, Seascape. There's something wonderful about waves.
3. Ralph Lauren, Houndstooth & Bradford Check Tweed. The one above is the Houndstooth and an other very nice one is called Bradford Check Tweed. These are lovely masculine wallpapers! Love.
4. Louise Body, Erotica. I had to choose two from this company!
5. Louise Body, Harry's Garden.
6. Lewis and Wood, Hunting Scenes. Crazy fun.
7. Minimoderns, Whitby.
8. Pierre Frey, Espalier Prairie. Lovely green.
9. Mulberry, Flying Ducks.
10. Marvic Textiles, Les Oiseaux Duck Egg.
11. Morris & co, Trellis. 150 years old.
12. Zoffany, Richmond Park.
13. Joselyn Warner, Dandy.
14. Signature Prints, Stampede.

Well, I couldn't keep to just 10. And there's still one or two that I can't find now that I'd like to add...

CPH KIDS FASHION FAIR: FEBRUARY 2012

Nu är det bara en liten liten stund kvar på mässan här i Köpenhamn. Den har varit lika fin som förra gången och organisatörerna är lika vänliga och omhändertagande som sist, men det räcker liksom inte riktigt. Det är för lite besökare, eller för många dagar (fyra hela dagar) eller för få inköpare som är intresserade av att prova nya små märken. Jag har fått fyra nya återförsäljare och det är jag såklart s u p e r -glad för. Två i Japan, en i Turkiet och en i Malmö/Lund. Det bästa med mässan är att man träffar så många underbara människor. Jag har pratat med underbara besökare, inköpare, säljare, agenter, designers mf och det är jättekul! Men nästa gång det är dags att ge sig iväg på mässa kanske det blir Bubble i London, Playtime i Paris eller Kleine Fabriek i Amsterdam. Spännande spännande!
Now it's just a little short while left of the fari in Copenhagen. It's been as beautifully arranged as last year and the organizers have been as friendly and caring as last year, but that is not quite enough. There just isn't enough visitors, or the fair is too long (it goes on for four days) or not enough of the buyers are interested in trying a new brand. I have got four new retailers in three countries (Japan, Turkey and Sweden) and I'm very pleased with that. And it's been lovely to meet and get to know loads of people; designers, stylists, journalists, agents and buyers! But maybe next time I'll try a new fair: Bubble in London, Playtime in Paris or Kleine Fabriek in Amsterdam. Thrilling!
