Every dress tells a story ✄ - - - - Bird Dress

2011-07-28T12:07:00.002+02:00

" Dundelina stands by the neighbour's fence looking at his apple tree. It is old, crooked and full of moss. From it's branches hang the biggest and most red apples she has ever seen. Mmmm they smell so good! Dundelina has asked her neighbour many times if she could taste some, but he always say NO! And he is always watching them closely. But today the grumpy neighbour has fallen asleep under the tree. Dundelina decides to take her chance! She takes on her bird costume and jumps on the tree hiding as a bird. Chirp... chirp..." Excerp from the book Dundelina and the apple tree by Roalkd Kaldestad.

At dundelina you always have too look twice to find out if there is something more hiding in your dress. Look inside the pocket of your bird dress to discover the bird that is hiding inside it. matching this dress with our wing blouse!

Dundelina ♥ backstage story

2011-03-12T01:22:00.007+01:00

The delivery of our new collection is getting closer and closer, so we are now working hard to get all the graphical material done. After a long week of fun work, the illustrations of the new Dundelina book are finished. (Wohooooo!!!!!!)

The new story "Dundelina and the apple tree" is partly based on real life, and let me tell you, you will love it. I can't say more... for now!

The illustrations for this book are a collaboration between Dundelina and our talented studio mate Sveinung, who in his spare time is actually a full time industrial designer. We are so looking forward to receive the colouring books from our printer.

Wisdom break: About Hopscotch

2011-03-09T13:56:00.010+01:00

So yes, I have to admit that we are crazy about hopscotch. We played this game a lot when we were little, and we still do. We do not climb, or hike, or train in the gym. We do hopscotch to keep fit!

Yesterday's entry made us realize how little we know about things that are so familiar. So we embarked on a quick research adventure...

History tells that hopscotch began in ancient Britain during the early Roman Empire. Roman soldiers used it as military training excersice! It is said that their hopscotch courts were over 30 meters long! (OMG) And that they were marked in the main Roman road between London and Glasgow. The soldiers would ran across them like a storm in full armor and field packs (WOW!!!). Roman children imitated the soldiers and since then it spread through Europe. Today England hosts the Hopscotch World Cup every 4 years.

Suddenly I feel no longer ashamed to confess that I train playing hopscotch and not spinning!

Real history footnote:

To date there is not confirmed evidence of the above, as the first recorded reference to hopscotch dates back to 1677. Sources www.streetplay.com and wikipedia. Skepticals take a look at Rouge classicism.

Projects ★ Hopscotch mat

2011-03-08T11:50:00.011+01:00

Plans for building a walk up - slide down solution are on the table, but for now we rather stick to smaller projects, like creating our own version of a hopscotch mat for the entrance. Seriously hoping that our customers will jump their way in to the studio when finished.

Anatomy of a dress ✄ - - - - Åge the eel dress

2011-03-04T19:40:00.015+01:00

"(...) Dundelina is suddenly at the bottom of the sea, and does not really know waht to do. She wanders in the darkness. Slippery eels crawl around her legs, and rough backed crabs climb along her plaids. Oh my how they look! And my ooooooh my how they smell!!! She clips a lobster on her nose, then takes a balloon fish and uses it as a breathing device."

Can you see the spooky eel that is crawling around your own dress? Take a closer look, that is what dundelina is all about.

Competition ♥ Best hiding places

2011-02-01T14:04:00.011+01:00

Our favourite game at Dundelina is hide and seek. We are always looking for new places where to hide: inside the closets, behind the curtains, under the blankets, under the dining table, inside the trees. In fact, almost anywhere is a good place... even the washing machine!!! (We totally agree Magnhild... this one is a bit scary!)

Each time Dundelina hides herself, she is absolutely convinced that no one would find her! Each time she feels the excitement in her stomach... and each time she is found she asks in disappointment: "How did you know?"

So Dundelina was eager to find a place where NO ONE could ever find her, and she asked her Facebook friends for help. And ywesterday we started our weekly monday meeting with a serious case: to pick the best hiding place of all the hiding places suggested by them. We were supposed to pick only The Best hiding place, but after 3 hours of discussion we could still not decide on it... so we finally gave up and agreed to pick two of our favourite ones:

"When my little sister grows older, then I turn little
and then I will hide in my mothers belly"

Eiril 2,5 years + mummy Gunhild Rykkje. We love your idea Eirin

"Behind her own eyes. Totally gone!"

Mummy Ellen Salomonsen. Well thought!

To our winners, CONGRATULATIONS ♥ We will try to use your ideas next time, but we can promis any success! To all our other friends, THANK YOU for all the imput we got!!!

Dundelina ★ hard to be a model

2011-01-24T15:41:00.005+01:00

And so on Sunday we had the photoshoot for winter 2011. Sunday was supposed to be a beautiful "no rain" day, but HEY! We are in the west coast of Norway right? It was of course pouring from the moment we arrived to the location.

Despite the rain the session went great! Bodil took some amazing shots; mums were happy styling, dressing, undressing, feeding and warming; and the girls absolutely LOVED every minute of it!

However... its not always so easy to follow the demands from our stars:

- Mum...
- Yes Karoline?
- I really, R E A L L Y want to do the photoshoot for Dundelina tomorrow, BUT can you please tell Monica that i do not want to pose with any 5 year old?
- Karoline, you are 6...
- I know mum, but posing with a 5 year old will be just way too embarrasing!!!

- And mum...
- Yes....
- Could you please make sure that the grown ups do not talk too much in between? That always makes the shooting too long!

Karoline -6 years- to her mum,

dundelina ♥ Winter AND Summer

2011-01-21T13:03:00.010+01:00

The Dundelina team LOVES the winter, but sometimes when it gets really cold, some of us are not so happy about it!!! We are now tapping our fingers on the table longing for the summer collection to arrive to our warehouse. Away with the big socks and thick tights!

Its always so exciting to see the goods arrive. To take our sissors, climb to the top of the castle of boxes that our kind postman leaves ourside... and see the whole collection ready to ship to the shops. We can hardly wait!

BUT whilst we wait for warmer and lighter days and for our lovely summer dresses to arrive, there will still be some weeks (maybe months!) with winter temperatures here in Norway, and then it is so nice to be wrapped in wool. In one of the winter items from Dundelina there will be no cold girls out there!

Winter AND Summer - we love both!

PS: we just cant keep winter out of our minds! These days we are also working with our winter 2011 collection. Samples are arriving everyday and we are preparing our next photoshoot!

Cool products ♥ Today was Fun

2010-06-11T11:44:00.014+02:00

A couple of weeks ago we got an order from London,

and so we got to meet Sharyn, and find about her company
Today was fun ♥ Certainly my kind of thing!

Today was fun sells organic teas
Hope, Happiness, Friendship, Inspiration, Love Love,
and Expectancy for expecting mums.

Their teas are not only D E L I C I O U S

Sharyn thought i was lacking Inspiration, and insisted in sending me a bag with some...

But their whole philosophy is fantastic!

I can not think of anything better than having a cup of
Love Love tea after spending a long, fun day with the kids.

And if that is not enough... then you may want to spice up

the experience by inviting Sharky to the party

A tea-infuser by Argentinean designer Pablo Matteodo

Fits perfectly in the spirit of this year's book

"dundelina at the bottom of the sea"

Besides... somehow mums have to have fun too!

Have a nice weekend

H for hai...

2010-06-07T16:22:00.009+02:00

Hai is the norwegian word for shark

Last week we got a mail from Anja, who won one of the shark dresess that we gave away at dundelina.com

Her daughter Anne used it on her first school day.

When Anne told her class that her dress was actually a pink shark,

she immediately got all the attention.

Her dress was such a hit that teacher started her class

by teaching the kids their first letter...

H... for hai

Thank you Anja for sharing this fantastic story with us.

This is what dundelina is all about!

We love good deals!

Cool products ★ Rockid

2010-05-03T10:24:00.002+02:00

When working with children clothes,
it is on daily basis that one finds great products for kids.

Last night, whilst researching for dundelina, I stumbled on the Rockid by Dutch Ontwerpduo. Rockid is a rocking chair + cradle in one.
I love the basic look, and the idea of creating an hybrid product that is both poetic and functional.

Wished i had use for one of these!

Where do sharks come from?

2010-04-30T16:48:00.014+02:00

When we first get a story draft from Roald Kaldestad, we

immediately start thinking about the charachters that will come to life. Those days prior to sketching a new collection are the most enjoyable. A cup of INSPIRATION tea on one hand, the mouse on the other one, pencil and paper not too far away, and ideas just start appearing one after the other.

One of the charachters form this season's story

"Dundelina på havets bunn"

-Dundelina at the bottom of the sea-

is a balloon fish, which she decides to use as breathing device.

This is one of the images we found when researching "balloon fish".

Isn't he the most fantastic guy?

We fell in love with the pattern that extends to the eye,

and the rare color (which may be the result of the light effect).

Well, this is what we did with it...

Not a ballon fish... but a shark!!!

Our shark dress is one of the favorite pieces this season.

We love the fact that at first glance it looks like a regular dress,

but when you look at it carefully, you discover that there is something else behind!

♥

Get the shark dress at the dundelina shop or at any of our retailers.

The balloon fish picture used in this post is borrowed form The eye page

Meet the girls...

2010-02-03T23:45:00.006+01:00

dundelina summer collection has been shipped,
and its on its way to Norway.

It has been on board two weeks already, so we guess by now she must be fighting the pirates somewhere in the coasts of Africa.
We hope she makes it safe home!

Together with her there are three sisters coming.

Meet Maneta Agneta, Loretta and Henrietta.

This is a picture of them taken by their mum just before they left.

Agneta is the youngest one. She hates mirrors.
When Agneta saw herself in a mirror for the first time she was shocked.
There was nobody there.
Nobody had told her that she was transparent.

Dundelina wants to be famous ★ ★ ★

2010-01-18T14:18:00.007+01:00

How cool is...

... to have in article published...

... in the coolest magazine in Norway?

Some time ago,

journalist Tone Rønning came to visit dundelina in Stord.

We had a lovely chat under the apple trees in our garden.

From that conversation she made a beautiful article about us.
Part of this reportage came out last friday on D2 Dagens Næringsliv,

the nicest magazine dedicated to art, design and architecture in Norway.

We are SO thrilled!!!

* We will try to make the article available on the blog for you!

Stock sale starts today

2010-01-06T03:48:00.002+01:00

We are looking forward to see many of our cherished FANS this day.

There will be some special set packages at a really nice price : )

Bring your friends.

By now you know that Dundelina's favourite thing in the world is talking to people she doesnt know.

This is Elisa

2010-01-05T02:17:00.008+01:00

Since she was featured in our last entry,

I though I should tell you a bit more about her.

Elisa is a finless whale.

V e r y r a r e

She was born in China

but was adopted by a Norwegian family when she was 1.

She likes her self a lot in the North Sea and is allways haging out with her friends. Elisa is small and swims very fast, but she is not the sharpest of her gang.

Someone told me that she heard a joke when she was 2,

and begun to laugh 10 years later when she finally understood it!

the best thing with dundelina...

2010-01-03T11:06:00.004+01:00

... is to be able to have SO much fun every day!!!!

Our new collection is soon finished and available at our retailers. Little by little we will be presenting you the new characters and the fantastic story that Roald Kaldestad has written for us this year.

For now, have this teaser from the press pack we are sending out.

★

Happy new year everybody!

Have a nice trip Fido!

2009-12-07T18:22:00.010+01:00

Yesterday we got a new order at our shop.
Morten wants to take our last Fido home with his boy. We have now packed his belongings, and tonight he is on his way to
T r o n d h e i m.
We have to warn you Morten. This guy is shortsighted, so he will need a lot of care and attention everyday.

Fido is the most popular ghost of the story dundelina og det game huset.

The day has come

2009-12-05T22:53:00.015+01:00

T o d a y

we finally announce the first winners of our Christmas activity. We just emptied the bag where we collected our post and the pile reached the roof!

♥

We got cards from all over Norway and even some from Denmark!!!

Thank you to all the kids that sent us their drawings.

We had lots of fun everyday!

Dundelina has picked

Emilie got the card at our retailer in Stavanger I N T E L B A R N. She chose Bennie, one of the characters of our story Dundelina og det gamle huset for her dress.

We l o v e Bennie, and we will enjoy making this dress for you Emilie!

This funny dress was drawn by Ena, who got her card at our retailer L I T L E B L Å in Halsnøy. She wrote a note for us: "the fish hang loose from a blue ribbon", to make sure we let them swim free on her dress.

We hope you enjoy playing with them Ena!

★

And the third pick is a v e r y s p e c i a l dress...

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 ponity teeth, a one eyed alien, and a bunch other undescribable 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

Isak got his card at B A B Y D E S I G N in Oslo.

Dundelina is very proud of this design!

★
