MY BIBLES
Photo: Kristin Bae Mysen As a language teacher, languages do interest me a lot. Nowadays I have fun reading three different versions of the Bible; a Norwegian, English and Spanish one. I see the Bible as one book, but the fact is that the word Bible actually means Books. The Old Testament alone has 39 books originally written […]
A TREASURE CHEST – DAGNY TANDE LID
Photo: Jann Bernhard Nilsen It all began this summer. My husband and I were hiking in the Norwegian mountains Rondane and I decided that mountain flowers should be my holiday project. I wanted to learn all the names of the tiny, beautiful flowers that surrounded our feet. I made this little bouquet and back at the […]
A TRIBUTE TO NORWAY
Photo: Kristin Bae Mysen It is not a secret that I love my country and Scandinavia in general. I consider myself a true Norwegian or a Scandinavian although I do love to travel around the world as well. Here we are on the ferry between Moss and Horten back home after been visiting the family […]
SHAKESPEARE MEETS VIGELAND
The Sonnets by William Shakespeare are most popular and some of them, such as Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day), is one of the most highly prized poems in English literature.

He painted a […]

LOVE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME
Photo: Kristin Bae Mysen My friend and I are nine years old lying in an open spaced stairs spying at all the guests at an older sister’s party. A young woman passes by and I can smell her perfume, an incident that introduced me to the warm and sensual fragrance of Musk Oil by Alyssa Ashley. I […]
FALL ‘EN IN LOVE
Photo: Kristin Bae Mysen I am in love with this time of the year. Picking red, juicy apples from the trees and mushroom from the forests. Planting tulip bulbs and spending the whole afternoon stacking woods. For more inspiration, watch this !
TIME FOR A GOURMET PARTY
Photo: Kristin Bae Mysen Finally it is time for mushroom picking and for bringing the cooking up to a higher level. For two days now I have enjoyed searching “the gold of the forest”. It is ever so fun, specially returning home with a basket filled with delicacies. The other day a colleague of mine showed me his Swedish Mora […]
