Norwegian-inspired slippers are mittens for your feet. Common in Scandinavia,once you wear them you’ll never go back to bare feet on cold wood floors.
Our very first home was a gable-front red brick house on a tree-lined street in Salt Lake City. The first autumn, we planted 1000 tulips by the full moon and made shutters with cut out tulips for the front windows. It was the tulip house.
One of the best things about that home was living a few doors down from Kjelland Randi Bjorg. Kjell was a baker from Bergen who made the best Marzipan Cake in the world. Randi, his wife, was once the National Folk Artist of Norway.Before immigrating to Utah, she designed tapestries for the royal family andcreated costumes for Huisfliden. She became my mentor, muse, and friend. These slippers are named after her.
