In my blog, I share stories from the old barn – moments from the workshop, island life, creative sparks and everyday magic.
High season - which mostly means: door open, fire lit, and lots of lovely people stopping by.
Summer in the Old Barn was, as always, busy, full of life and over far too quickly.
May began, as always, with a highlight: Norway's National Day on May 17th – a day full of pride, warmth and community spirit. We spent it quietly in our little village, surrounded by lovely people, lots of cake and ice cream, and – luckily – beautiful sunshine. Almost like it was made to order.
I'm over 45 – and I dared to believe in myself and in my dream.
Today, I run my own jewelry business, built entirely by myself from the ground up.
It's been challenging, yes – but even more fulfilling.
Maybe my story can show you that anything is possible if you just take the first step.
It stands here beneath the highest mountain of the Lofoten, between the Austnesfjord and the Sløverfjord. Behind the mountain lies the Trollfjord, hidden and mysterious. Once, the Vikings pulled their boats across the land here between the Austnesfjord and the Sløverfjord – a feat of strength and determination. Today, no ships are carried over land...
January in the Lofoten Islands is a time of contrasts. The days are short, the light soft and golden when the sun appears for a few hours.
A special place full of stories and handmade one-of-a-kind pieces. Welcome to my blog!
