Hi friends! I'm Ida (she/her), a hand-knitting homebody from Scandinavia :-) I create the type of content that I want to see more of - slower-paced, genuine, visually pleasing videos about sustainability + ethics in fashion, building a secondhand and memade wardrobe, DIY-projects, upcycling, arts and crafts, honest + emotionally oriented conversations with one's self, and more. I'm here to make friends, not fans. I hope to inspire you to bring some creative outlets into your life and embracing your inner curious child!! xoxo
😂 durstlöscher is basically sugar water with artificial flavoring and I can relate to spending a lot of time in supermarkets, i love to do that too when travelling
seeing my hometown through your eyes was such a weird and cool and kind of emotional experience, thanks for taking us with you :)) and im glad you got something out of my recommendations!
Thanks for taking us to hamburg with you. I just got back from a trip to Nebraska and Kansas and it take five hours just to drive to the airport, drop car in long term parking, shuttle to airport, get through security and wait for the plane to board. The actual flight another 3.5 hours. And we got Covid. Your trip seemed sublime by comparison. That Friday bag will be treasured, glad you got it. That miniature place indeed looked awesome.
i always feel like i have to have at least a water bottle with me! my roommate jokes about how "brave" i'm being if they see me leave the house without it, haha. i also have a large bag collection, i've been meaning to pare it down some! but i use all my bags so how could i give any of them away?? i need to have everything i love with me!
omg hamburg!!! this might get quite long but hopefully there's some stuff for you i here :-) in regards of thriftstores i'd recommend humana, it's a chain and they have several ones throughout the city. i would look out for the distinction between the "trend & vintage" shop (only one) and the "secondhand & vintage" shops (four) bc the latter tend to have a wider range of clothes and are cheaper. the red cross also has at least one second hand clothing shop thats quite nice (in altona). you might come across one thats called "pick 'n weight" (in the sternschanze), personally i wouldn't recommend it based on the fact that their pricing is quite high, but they do have a wide variety of clothes so you might wanna check it out anyways :-) we also have a secondhand store called "stilbruch", they have everything - furniture, books, cds, electronics, tableware,... - fun! (it's in altona) with other stuff - sternschanze, st. pauli and altona are the popular areas with regards to bars, restaurants etc. if you like falafel, def. try out either "kimo" or "falafelstern", they're right next to eachother and there's kind of a rivalry going on because of that lol. fun fact: most people that go to the sternschanze frequently are either a "kimo" or a "falafelstern" person (i think they're both good but i do prefer falafelstern). some cafés i like are the "kandie shop" and "kaffee stark", they're also right next to eachother and in st. pauli. oh and there's a small area called "karoviertel", close to the u bahn station "feldstraße", just walking through there is really nice! there are (really expensive) vintage clothing stores, record shops etc. what else - outside stuff/parks: - our harbour is of course pretty cool i'd say, you can walk from the fischmarkt (get there from the sbahn station königstraße or reeperbahn) to u stadthausbrücke and get a nice overview of it. be prepared though, it can get very touristy and busy! - the stadtpark is quite big and really pretty, in there is also the "planetarium", even if you don't go in and see a show, it looks impressive from the outside i think! - "planten un bloomen" (s bahn dammtor) and the "loki schmidt garten" (s bahn klein flottbek) are our botanical gardens and i think the latter is quite underrated bc its a bit outside of the city centre, I've only been there once myself but i really really liked it - the speicherstadt is also cool to walk through, it translates literally to "storage city" and used to be the area where spices, rugs etc were stored when hamburg was flourishing with trade i think thats all i can think of right now but let me know if you have any specific questions I'd love to help!! :) i hope you like it here
ida, i've fallen in love with your videos over the past few months and i wanted to let you know how you've touched my life and helped me live more intentionally. we're quite literally from opposite sides of the world (i live in the midwest usa) but i'm forever startled and delighted by how similar our lives are. i hope your summer is bountiful and bright!
such a dreamy haul!! I love the linen set with the pleated skirt... so cute. also love the attention to natural materials, lately whenever I thrift I also have been avoiding synthetic materials - not only for environmental reasons but I also hate the way they feel on my body. this video is such an inspiration, as always! 🖤happy summer🌿🌼
oh how i wish to have that many cherries!! i saw what i thought was a cherry tree from my bus the other day, i am going to check it out tomorrow and perhaps i will be as lucky as you!
Wake up babes! Summer is here!! I actually have a toy just like that beetle I got from a Gacha machine one of my fave accessories I keep on my dashboard. I plan on turning it into a hair pin lol
Beautiful. From your videos it is clear that you have a lovely "mind" (for lack of a better term); your shots are mesmerizing, your passion and creativity are inspiring. Genuinely thank you so much for sharing your art. I think you inspire many people. Also: library gratitude forever! Warm thoughts from Norway <3
Thank you for this beautiful video! I’m longing for a place I’ve never been. The house looks so cozy and peaceful. Living in a place like this would be a dream.
this video connected with my childhood in such a peaceful way. I felt so much inspiration and emotion as if watching a shortfilm. Thank you for this. You have such a beautiful way to create and build what you want to tell.
Thank you Ida, this is a beautiful piece of memory and soul and a look into what it feels like to visit the past from the present. Your creations are my favorite and I hope you continue to express yourself throughout your life so wholeheartedly and so authentically :)
Youre exceptional with visual storytelling and it makes me feel so peaceful and sentimental watching your videos! I love to see that you were able to catch the nordic serenity there is in nature. Your videos make me so inspired! Thank you!
THis video is a jewel box with gorgeous nuggets from your life and mind. Loved watching, so relaxing and nostalgic. Your spring looks alot like mine in California: green and yellow of sorrel, mustard, dandelions. Hugs
A few seconds in, and I am already crying 😭😮💨 this feeling is so close to my heart. I would give so much to visit a house where I spent a lot of my summers. Beautiful video!
i love your videos, i find them more lived-in and gentle than anything else i've seen on youtube. this one is no exception - how beautiful! thank you for sharing <3
Your videos never fail to make me feel so serene. This one was no exception. Thank you for the chance to experience this. A beautiful house and place indeed ❤
