A week before Christmas I took the train to Stockholm to visit Karin. She’s another of my new friends thanks to blogging (once we went to London together and met Abigail and Claire, two other web friends. I love my blog friends! So much fun).
It was two cold and sunny days. One day was just shopping and eating/drinking, the other day we spent in Karin’s new workplace/office/shop. It’s a fantastic place! It’s an old beautiful greenhouse. For me who love light I can’t think of anything better. You can say it is three rooms, one is for working, one smaller room for the office and the third room is the greenhouse for the shop. The shop is called Manos and the opening will be the 6th of march. Manos will offer
a selection of beautiful design and handmade objects from Sweden and abroad, and her own work of course. She’s also planning to open a webshop! I wonder how she will have time for everything :)
Karin will also have a gallery part in the greenhouse. The first to exhibit, march 27 to april 19, is Daniel Reynolds.
The next show, april 24 to may 17, is a collaboration between Karin and me! So I don’t have time to write more, I have to start working ;) Good luck, Karin! (…and good luck Camilla)
Ok, I have time to give you a few links:

Karin’s space is so inspiring and your collaboration looks wonderful. Yay!!!
I love Karin’s work and her new space is lovely – I look forward to her new ventures. I am excited to see your sneak peek with Karin – can’t wait to see the finished products.
..wonderful! So nice to see a little more of Karin’s beautiful studio, and beautiful process – I am so excited to see this peek into your collaboration…:)
Very much looking forward to Manos as well – looks beautiful. xox
beautiful, again. karin’s work and studio are so lovely. the pairing of the two of you is bound to produce great results – i can’t wait to order a piece or two!
thanks for a wonderful week.
Someone psychic thought of the word “magical”. Why do I know this? Because the word has been around for some time but its definition wasn’t known until Karin’s house & studio came to be! I’m smitten!
I’ve always loved Scandinavia, but between Karin & Camilla I’m falling head over heels for Sweden! Camilla, nevermind mailing Morran to me just hold on to her until I arrive at Karin’s because I’ll be moving in! :)
GREAT guest posting this week, Camilla…thank you!
(ps – looking forward to the reveal of the collaboration!)
Uncle Beefy – perhaps you can do like that guy whose moved into ikea? i’ll provide a bed ;)
Great posting all week, Camilla!
what a treat to see karin at work! (i’m a bit envious of her studio space!) her ceramics are beautiful, and i can’t wait to see the camilla/karin collaboration!
