Copenhagen: Grønlykke

Do you believe in coincidence? By chance, I dug out my pile of Uppercase magazines a few weeks before our European adventure. Issue 2 featured a mention of Grønlykke: two shops with one name. One is located in a basement and offers paper goods.

Next door is the fabric shop on two levels. They are located in the Strøget area at Læderstræde 3 & 5.

The second floor was my favourite space. Plastic tabling in a Danish design and some Japanese fabric caught my eye. I only bought 0.5 m each because we were travelling light (no checked baggage) and because it was expensive (198 DK per metre, about $40.00 Canadian/m).

 The striped fabrics were tempting.

The owner generously allowed me to photograph the store.

A lovely colour-coordinated stack of bolts of their quilting fabric. I'm loving the dotty fabrics. By the way, I do not believe in coincidence.
