Only visit my mum 2,5 days this time, my cold and my project is the reason for that.
Of course with me haven’t been there for 14 days meant that she was short of fruit and vegetables – so I had to rush across the street to Coop – for emergency shopping. My mum loves her fruit and vegetables. I didn’t take any photo when I travel led so I took the camera with to the supermarket. Here comes what my camera liked.
The photo of the pretty decorated white van on the car park – belongs to the company that recycles all drink cans & plastic bottles that we return to the shops and get money in return for. “pantamera” means return more. Great set up!
”I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.”
Tammy Faye Bakker
Who is Torun Bülow-Hübe???
Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe (1927 – 2004) was born in Malmö Sweden. She graduated from the Academy of Industrial Arts in Stockholm in 1945 and in 1956 she settled in Paris where she quickly became known for her jewelry. Torun’s designs have become legendary and are exhibited at several museums worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Torun was philosophical about the role of design in our everyday lives: “A piece of jewelry should be a symbol of love. It should enhance and move with the body so that it blends with you. It must not overwhelm, but enhance you. This is why it must be timeless. It shouldn’t matter if you are 17 or 87 years old.”
In 1962 she designed the first Georg Jensen watches and in 1967 most of her production was taken over by Georg Jensen.
wondeerful…. I love shopping, I wished to be there now
Thank you dear Viveka, love, nia
I love shopping too, it’s a great supermarket and just a cross road from my mums. Mine in Landskrona is great too – will bring the camera with me there too one day too.
I’m sure your mum appreciated such fresh produce
Cheers

Yes, my mum eat fruit like a monkey *smile – good for her.
Great jiving music, Viveka
I keep forgetting when I click on your page, to expect music – it surprised me!
I love how you so often include interesting bits of history. I like what Torun wrote about jewellery – a very very beautiful view on jewellery. I’d never thought about it that way, but do agree.
And I love the cheaper than a psychiatrist quote!
Totally agree with you … Noeleen! Thanks for the email by the way. Love doesn’t come cheap .. that’s the thing *smile
You’ve got a great vibe, Viveka – I can imagine you out there in the shops etc, just enjoying life for what it is. Your blogs are really vibrant.
Again – sorry I took so long with the email…
My son is out with his mates tonight, seeing ‘Paranormal Activity 4′. It’s just me & the cat, Sparrow, hangin’ together tonight, cyber browsing
No problem …. it was no rush.
I don’t know if .. you know that that the name I use in my post comes of trains that I have traveled with. Our county’s (Skåne) public trains has been given names from famous people from our country through the years … dead, alive or fiction. A train set has 2 wagons and during rush hours a train have two names. Only some useless information. Will do a post about our beautiful purple trains.
PURPLE trains? Oh please – a photo too!
Yes, we are very colorful in our county … green local/city busses and yellow regional busses .. plus our purple trains … of course there will be photos of the train too.
very nice everyday life photos and interesting to read about torun, thank you!
Malin, thanks a million … always a pleasure.
I love the happy colors of the fruits, vegetables. In our supermarkets, I love to be in the produce department… my eyes drink in the wonderful colors. Of course, there are wonderful colors in the bakery, too!
)) Your photos take one to being ‘right there’ to see what you write about. How wonderful that is!

Gloria, we have so strike laws and regulations about how we can display bread in supermarkets – all about hygiene. So it looks so boring to take photos off. Love the fruit and veg – it was so plentiful that day too. Thanks for your support and appreciation.
At a supermarket .. there isn’t much color except with fruit and veg – plus flowers … juices maybe. In Sweden they display bread so boring, because of hygiene reasons and laws. Otherwise I like taking photos of bread.
Liked the sacks with the logs.
Bread is my favorite nomatter what!
You make all food look good.
Just love my bread – the Scandinavian countries are big sandwich countries .. open sandwiches. You do great sandwiches in US too – but the bread sometimes is a bit plain, just like in UK – Germany has fantastic bread, I dare to say they do the best bread in the world and the healthiest.
We now go to a Farmer’s Market every Saturday to get a very heavy, dark and fresh made bread. The white breads are killing us! But even the grocery stores are trying harder and starting to include healthier and heartier breads. Though they cost a fortune!
I know good bread cost a lot more – but it’s worth it.
In Sweden our most popular bread is a dark rye bread with lingonberries in. Wonderful and moist – but in a plastic bag. It’s called Lingongrova – maybe I should make a post about it.
YES! Just like here, the better something is for you, the more it costs. And we wonder why the poor(er) are battling with weight. But I do love bread. Love it. Please write about it. Isn’t that funny? That I look forward to a post about bread?
Such lovely photos. Loved seeing their vivid colors.
So do I … and that day the fruit and veg department was so well displayed and plentiful. Thank you for your kind words.
Haha, I love Tammy Faye Bakker’s words: ”I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.” So true!
Take care!
Nice “chatting” with you last night.
Same, Ann-Sofie, nice talking to you .. I hate grocery shopping .. love to shop shoes and handbags. *smile.
Your photos are fantastic. The perspective is wonderful. And very interesting about Torun Bülow-Hübe. I’d heard of Georg Jensen watched before but not about her.
Thank you, Maralee.. means a lot to me when you give compliments . You’re an expert. *smile
I didn’t know about her neither until I see her name on one of our trains nor looked her up. She are well renown all over the world as designer and very expensive of course.
Fitting music for a mad dash to the grocery store! Hello to your mom from Ohio!
BTW – Received your message, but hectic times preventing response – but I will.
Thanks Frank, I will … next week when I back with her.
No rush with answering the mail. So long I have before the middle of next month.
Viveka, the shopping carts are great. What an eye you have for photography. I need my fruits and veggies too. Funny, unlike the other commenter I love grocery shopping but find other shopping tedious after about an hour.
I agree .. so some point .. but it’s so heavy with grocery *smile -Thanks for your appreciation. Done carts before … I love to take photo of subject that there is many of.
I love photographing produce.. someone else has done all the trouble of setting things up so it looks pretty for us:D
That’s also away to look at it – in overall supermarkets are really boring – but I caught COOP on a good day. *smile
glad that your mum loves these types of foods, keeps her young!!!!
She has never been good with her food, she hate cooking for herself – but since she start take “meal on “wheels” (witch is fanatasic food, proper home cooked) her values has become so good – but she has always loved her fruit and veg. Her brain is crystal clear, amazing at 90.
i know a few people like that. i always think it is awesome!!!!! i can’t see my own self living to that age, but if people are healthy and not suffering, then why not live to be 100!!!
Love the colors in these photos! I always love going to the supermarket!
Thanks for visiting me! Can’t say I like to the supermarket – but I have too. I like visiting supermarkets that’s new to me. Very exciting.
This is a great post! I actually enjoy doing the grocery and running errands
Thank you so much! Quite a few have said they enjoy grocery shopping … maybe I will grow into it too. Prefer buying shoes.
Oh yes I prefer buying shoes as well! hahaha I don’t really understand what with grocery stores but I enjoyed going there and pick some stuff
