Mackerel and a Miracle…

A buoy and a bird perched atop a tilted, slender pole on rocky shoreline against a cloudy sky.

Battling deadlines and book edits, I found clarity outdoors—one mackerel, garden potatoes, and a rare night of perfect sleep. Sometimes, that’s the real miracle. #emmastrandbergbooks

Fun(gi) way to spend a day

Vibrant red mushrooms on a lush green mossy forest floor.

Foraging fungi is both a culinary and visual treat—just be sure to pick safely. Some even glow at night! #natureslarder #emmastrandbergbooks

Very best of Iceland

A lamppost covered with colorful knitwork against a sunset sky.

Inspired by Iceland’s magic, these captured moments reflect journeys behind my book *Where the f\*\*k is Blönduòs?*—a love letter to this unforgettable land. #emmastrandbergbooks

Wonders of the forest

Orange and white bracket fungus growing on a tree stump with green foliage in the background.

Forest walks reveal nature’s hidden art—fungi in every shape and colour. While not all are edible, their beauty never fails to inspire wonder. #forestbathing #fungi #emmastrandbergbooks

Grow your own happiness

A creative display of vegetables arranged like a smiling face on a wooden table.

Homegrown, organic and chemical-free—gardening turns meals into moments of joy. Even a wonky cucumber can bring a smile! #vegetablegardening #fiveaday #emmastrandbergbooks

Similarities of writing and gardening

Freshly harvested colorful carrots with tops on a wooden surface.

Writing and gardening both demand patience, pruning, and purpose—each seed or sentence nurtured to life with care, until only what truly belongs remains. #writinglife #gardeningwisdom #emmastrandbergbooks

Potting Shed

Cozy room with a plaid chair, white pendant light, and a shelf full of items.

My favorite summer writing spot is my “Potting Shed.” Originally a henhouse, it now houses my writing desk and cozy tartan chair, evoking a sense of home. #writingnook #summerwriting
