What a wonderful afternoon!
As soon as they came home from school the girls quickly changed into their new summer dresses, from Norwegian designer Dundelina.
The girls ran outside into the garden whilst I made some Norwegian waffles. The picnic bag, filled with treats, was then sent carefully down from our balcony with a rope. The fabulous picnic feast were held underneath the garden table covered by a woolen blanket. -What a great way to start the weekend!
Dundelina‘s summer 2010 collection is finally here. Nautical is one of the hottest themes for spring summer 2010. However Dundelina have taken the nautical theme a bit further, as always in their playful and childlike way. Without compromising on high quality fabrics and romantic look. Dundelina clothing is available for girls between 3 and 10. The accessories, soft toys and books can be enjoyed by people of all ages. All items are available online from their webshop.
Beatrice is wearing her “kanina Bennie cardigan” from Dundelina, definitely one of her favourite items this season! Lovely round neck cardigan in a soft and warm lambswool blend. Beatrice loves wearing this cardigan on chilly days, and it’s a must on her way to and from ballet class every week. Gorgeous quality with lots of attention to details. Knitted cord ribbon at waist and mother of pearl buttons to the front. Hand embroidered funky bunny from the story “dundelina and the old house” on the back, which really makes this beautiful cardigan so unique.
Available with 50% off in sizes 104 – 140 cm, on sale now for £25 at Dundelina.

The Norwegian label Dundelina had a Christmas competition earlier this month, where young designers could print out a Dundelina dress, then draw a design.
We tried at out at home, with both Beatrice and Amélie participating. But no one wanted to separate from their precious design, so in other words, there was no contribution from us.
But I’m sure they received lots of great designs, and that it was really hard to choose the winners.
Dundelina has announced three winners so far, and the picture to the left shows on of the winners, which I thought was great!
Last week we ran to the postbox (as every morning during the last month) and started looking through the cards we had got that day. Suddenly we saw one with many many tiny figures on it. Little by little we discovered what seemed to be a long necked dinosaur, a scary bunny with very pointy teeth, a one eyed alien, and a bunch other indescribable creatures. Dundelina and I looked to each other and S M I L E D.
Who could this fantastic dress be from? We wondered.
When we turned the card we read: Isak

Lovely cropped cardigan in 60% lambswool blend. Knitted cord ribbon at waist. Hand-embroidered bunny from one of Dundelinas story books on the back. Available in sizes 98 – 140cm. Apparently one of Dundelina’s own favourite items this season. I showed it to Beatrice, and she was like: Mummy, pleaseeeeeeee? I think this subtle grey colour will really suit Beatrice’s fair skin and blond hair very well.
