In today’s vlog I popped into Søstrene Grene after noticing something interesting, many of their home decor pieces have a very similar aesthetic to the beautiful items you might find at Anthropologie, but at a much lower price. So in this video I’m taking a closer look at some of the decor, sharing the pieces that caught my eye, and seeing whether you can really achieve that Anthropologie-inspired look on a budget. Afterwards I head down to Dún Laoghaire, where George’s Street is full of wonderful vintage and antique shops. I spend some time browsing the little treasures and soaking up the atmosphere of one of my favourite seaside towns in Dublin. Back at home I also share an adorable trinket I picked up recently in County Kerry that I completely forgot to show in a previous vlog. If you love cosy home decor, vintage finds, antique shops, and discovering beautiful pieces without spending a fortune, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

I live in Aarhus, where the first Søstrene Grene opend. I work in landscaping mostly, but during the winter the firm I work for take in all kinds of odd jobs and for the last two winters we have done contracts packing all the christmas gifts for Søstrene Grenes employees. When I see Søstrene Grene I get war flashbacks to folding cardbord boxes in a hot basement for weeks on end!
I did the craft fair thing. I made paperncrafts, cards, scrapbook albums, scrapbook pages, paper wreaths, and other crafts for Christmas or Halloween or other holidays. So fun, but not a lot of money. My kids were great helpers.
I so LOVE stores like this! We have some in Charleston, but not in my town. And they're usually pricey boutiques.
ohhhh we have one of these stores in Norfolk, England. WONDERFUL store. Catherine, I do love the way you tidy and line things up on the shelves LOL. Lovely video. x
Thanks for sharing your shopping trip with us! Wish we had Sostrene Grene was in the US! Such cute items!
:13 you had me at tea! High marks for loose leaf tea. This store reminds me of a store in the US called world market in terms of trending home decor. I love going and having a look at all the pretty things. Some of the mugs remind me of the one you and your friend hand painted and had glazed. 25:34 the white vase with the blue flower buy instantly!
Thank you for taking us with you, dear. If I'd been with you in person, I would definitely have purchased that gorgeous, oval portrait of the young woman (at about 26:20) in a thrift shop.❤
Thank you for sharing your shopping trip. I really enjoyed the glasses with lemon slices. The green dishes with lettuce plates. Nice 😊😊
The music in this makes me smile. Many years ago, I danced (tap, ballet, acro). My dance teacher played piano (and taught it, did that as well) for our dances. This song was always on the rotation for tap.
That shop is my idea of heaven!
The items in sostrene grene remind me of what you might find at our big US craft stores only presented in a gorgeous way. How different things look without clanky metal shelves and chaos❤️
Nice day trip - pretty ride to see the views and not have to drive - win/win! Cute measuring cups...
Love the bee measuring cups!
Love Sostrene Greene, particularly the stationary craft section.Lovely views today on your travels, thank you 👍🩷
What fun shops you went to!! Love love loved that crafty shop, I could spend the whole day just there. haha Thank you for sharing your travel adventures in your country. Makes me want to go back and shop there, I'd have to bring an empty suitcase! Cute bee measuring bowls, I have a flower set :)
I love going on your trips!!❤
Another lovely Vlog Catherine. Thank you for taking us along with you. I do love Sostrene Grene which I understand is pronounced something like sostraynuh graynuh but hopefully a danish person will come along and confirm! However it’s pronounced, it’s a very dangerous shop because I could spend an awful lot of money in there lol
Very enjoyable window shopping with you. Thanks!
Very cute beehive bowls. Enjoyed going round the shops with you. ❤
❤. There were lots of beautiful things, loved the tour.
