trip-ping in europe

I just came back from a sweet 19-day trip around Europe visiting Hamburg, Vienna and Copenhagen. These cities are amazing for window and retail shopping and I had the good fortune to get an inside look at a few beautifully-designed shops, got to talk with some of the talented artists who own them, and took loads of pictures.

Today, I want to start with one place in Vienna (which is one of my favorite cities in Europe)  I have visited often since one of my best friends, Sandra, lives here and she always knows the best places to go. Her best friend is a good friend of Sandra Haischberger, the talented artist and owner of the Porzellanmanufaktur and the shop, Feinedinge*

Feinedinge* is a beautifully-designed shop that is candy to one’s eyes and the beautiful porcelain creations she makes  are impossible not to love—and yes I indulged ;)).

Enjoy !!!!!! 

OH and here is a TIP: Simple shelving and furniture pieces, painted make beautiful fixtures, that's what they did here!















what a beautiful visit, thank you so much feinedinge* team !!!  -  ULLIKA

defining my blogg !!

Spring cleaning !!!!

Yes me too and every year I look at my Blogg seeing what I can improve, add on and expand (and maybe perch :/ )  For 2015 my goal is to reach more people especially in the small retail world. That is why I am going to create a new post each month focusing on exactly that. The idea is to feature one local business and add some solutions that they do really well in their store or that they have some challenges with and by talking to them we could come up with some solutions.
Today I made it out to the new location of Cargo here in Portland, OR and talk about a store with ATMOSPHERE. The place is packed with beautiful nick necks, clothing and furniture,  beautiful arranged and decorated. A perfect example for creating an EXPERIENCE to be remembered.
  TIP: Be ENTICING with the visual arrangements in your store !!!
