Mother's Day

What a great day to celebrate all the amazing mothers who have given us life, love and some of our little quirks! Mother's Day was invented in the United States in 1872 by American author and women's suffrage advocate Julia Ward Howe. The original idea was that the day should also be a day of peace. A wonderful occasion to tell your mother that you love and appreciate her. And there are many ways to say it...

Thanks for the fight to our mothers and foremothers!

On this day, I will think of my mom and our foremothers. Thank them for everything I have that I fool around and take for granted. Admire their courage and fighting spirit! It's SO crazy what we take for granted today. It's only just over 100 years since women in Denmark got the right to vote. WTF! And yet I allow myself, most of the time, to walk around and forget to appreciate our brave foremothers.

Thanks mom! ❥

I don't know many people who have supported and helped people in need and spoken up for them, over and over again... A great inspiration and admiration for me and probably many others.

Well - and then there's the dresses! "The apple doesn't fall far from the pear" as she would say. Of course, she has been a great inspiration to me as a designer. I think we can agree that my interest in dresses came from her. In fact, I only got costumes and dress-up dolls in my baby bottle. And thank you very much for that ;)

Jeg må finde på en lille gave... Min mor og jeg ELSKER blomster, men der er også masser af gode alternativer til de traditionelle afskårne blomster, der som bekendt er ret belastende for miljøet. Man kan for eksempel give en plante i stedet, eller måske en hyggelig mor-datter tur på restuarant eller ud i naturen, hvor man sammen kan nyde de vilde blomster, buske og træer, der netop er sprunget ud. En anden mulighed - eller bare et supplement til førnævnte gaveidéer - er at give hende en lille, bæredygtig gave, hun vil få gavn og glæde af i længere tid.
