I would love to design the packaging of everyday products. This one is for a chocolate milk drink from Denmark. Saw it sitting on the train on Friday and emailed the company when I got home to see if they sell the design as a poster. I love it even more than the Boylan soda bottles from New Jersey that I saved for years and years. I recycled them before moving to Sweden. Little did I know that I could have upcycled them instead.

some places we've visited so far
- maui, hawaiiThe day we got home, we started saving for our next trip. See my blog entry
- antalya, turkeyI miss hearing the call to prayer before sunrise every morning, the sunshine and the small winding roads in the old city. But I don't miss the olives for breakfast. See my blog entry
- helsinkiThe cruise from Stockholm was the highlight. Breathtaking, really. We found Helsinki to be down-to-earth, friendly and a just-right size. See my blog entry
- londonWhy on Earth did it take me so long to visit London?! Rivals Paris for best city in Europe. Avoid Oxford Street and Covent Garden, and head to Chelsea and Holborn. See my blog entry
- parisIt was my third trip to Paris, but our first while living in Sweden. And, more significantly, our first with a baby in tow. Metro ≠ baby friendly. Centre Pompidou = 10x more fun with a little one. See my blog entry.
- bergen and oslo, norwayThink Colorado. Flooded. Oslo is a refreshing little city and the fjords offered beautiful views in all directions. Not love, love. But definitely like, like. See my blog entry.
- prague, czech republicYes, it has beautiful architecture. But no soul. Skip it and go to Budapest instead.
- berlin, germanyWe only spent a night here, but I could tell immediately that this was a city I could live in. Hope we can get back there sometime soon. Loved the new architecture, friendly people and the gigantic, wooded park.
- tavira, portugalA great place to relax, see endless fields of daisies, drink sangria and be surrounded by the smell of orange blossoms. See my blog entry.
- amsterdam and delftAmsterdam was one of our favorite European cities and Delft is a little gem you wish you could fit in your pocket and take home. Loved the individual style and easy-going nature of the people. See my blog entry.
- budapestHurry, it's already been discovered. Wonderful cheap food and an outdoorsy mentality. See my blog entry.
- dalarna, swedenReminds us of home. Really relaxing and laid back. See my blog entry.
- hong kong and tai peiSuper friendly people and so romantic. See my blog entry.

about me
In November 2005, my husband and I moved to Älmhult, Sweden, for my dream job. Five years later, our little family of three moved back. Except, back turned out to be a brand new place called Portland.

I'm glad you like what you do :-) We'd be a mess without you!

I agree with you. I love going into ethnic grocery stores just to look at the packaging.
