Yesterday we were eating out with a good friend to celebrate her birthday. While waiting for the restaurant to open, we visited a nearby shop selling imports and driftwood art.
For once heavily Photoshopped, as the imports were not so nice.

I går fejrede vi en af vore gode venners fødselsdag med at gå ud og spise. Mens vi ventede på at de åbnede, osede vi i en butik med importerede ting og sager og med ting fremstillet af drivtømmer og lignende.
For en gangs skyld er billederne voldsomt redigerede. Det importerede tingel-tangel faldt ikke i min smag
A planter made of large pieces of driftwood. -- en plantekasse lavet af store stykker drivtømmer.
The very best, a starfish made from driftwood and blue sea glass. I do not think they were made in Denmark

Det sejeste først. Søstjerner lavet af drivtømmer og blåt drivglas. Jeg tror ikke de er lavet herhjemme.

Giant mushrooms made out of driftwood -- Kæmpe svampe lavet af drivtømmer
Havfruekugler -- Glass floats. In Danish they're called: Mermaids' baubles.
Plant pots studded with polished stones -- Potter tæt besat med blankslebne sten
Even driftwood horses - Og endog heste lavet af drivtømmer
We ate at a seafood place - very good. Vi spiste buffet med alt godt fra havet - rigtigt godt.
013
And on our way there we met a 013, faster now, but still a slim chance of ever completing. Just one car a week makes for 1000 months ... almost 20 years.
På vej derhen så jeg en 013, det går stærkere nu, men med kun en ny om ugen, vil det tage tæt på 20 år endnu.
What an interesting shop. Love the mermaid's baubles. I hope car 14 comes along soon for you.
SvarSletIt sure was interesting. Thank you.
SletI'm glad you had time to wander through the shop, I do like driftwood.
SvarSletI do too, and I can't refrain from picking up driftwood and sea glass when at the beach. I might be isnpired to manke something from them now.
SletI like the giant mushrooms and the planter pots, the horses are quite magnificent too. I never see driftwood on the beaches here, some don't even have shells or seaweed unless there has been a storm.
SvarSlet"Empty" beaches sounds strange to me, all our beaches are filled with flotsam and jetsam, shells, seaweeds and crab shells, and birdfeathers and ... My pockets are always bursting when leaving for home ;)
SletThe decorated driftwood pieces are unusual, that looks like a big slimy slug on the heart.
SvarSletWhat I am interested in is what was on your plate - I recognise the lemon slice, hard boiled egg, some tiny shrimp…..Is that a piece of smoked salmon? And what is the yellow ‘blob’ between it and the brown bowl
Hehe, yes it looks a bit like a slug. It is a piece of some dark wood.
SletOn my plate is as you say, a lemon slice, then asparaguses, tiny shrimps and lumpfish roe (I guess artificial) over a hardboiled egg, smoked salmon, and the yellow 'blob' is potato salad made with curry and lemon. In the small paper bowls are shrimp salad and hen/asparagus salad.
The driftwood horses are wonderful! I like the mushrooms and the pots studded with stones as well. I think I would like browsing in that shop, and your post is the next best thing.
