Off To Stockholm & Sending You Warm Thoughts
(Pretty, vintage LV luggage as a nightstand).
The bags are close to packed. My daughter Frida (10) and I are off to Sweden to spend quality time with family and close friends (leaving Tuesday). I can’t wait to be back to Stockholm and to watch Frida take it all in! (She has not been back in 3 years). I will be stepping away from my computer for ten days and doing nothing but living in the moment. I promise to bring back a couple of treats and lots of design inspiration for all of you.
Though I won’t be celebrating Thanksgiving in Sweden I will be thinking of each and everyone of you and will be sending you warm thoughts and lots of good energy.
I might be gone but the store will still be open. Ewa and team will be plowing through these busy times so don’t worry about making them work harder! (Smiles!)
We are adding Holiday items all the time.
We have stocked up on Nordic style fabric ornaments.
Brand new are these fabulous, naturally shed reindeer antlers bottle openers from Finland. Functional and decorative. The perfect hostess gift and stocking stuffer.
Upon request, the happy cotton pig and the cuddly reindeer are back in stock! (Kids and adults love these Danish Toys).
The beautiful linen napkins (100% organic Belgian linen) are finally coming in (next week).
I am bringing back more beautiful “Gotland” pelts from Sweden. If you want one, you might want to have one reserved. They go quickly.
The preserved boxwood wreaths are literally flying off the shelves. They are so easy and fun to decorate with.
And lots and lots more. Take a stroll down the Avenue if you have a moment! Visit our store here.
Ok, that’s it. I will miss you all. Please, save some fun stories for me when I get back!
Warm hugs to you all.

Oh, sweetie! I’m so happy for you!!! I know how hard it is to be far away from our homeland and our family. I don’t go back to Brazil for 4 years and it’s being hard for me.
I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing time, my friend!
My little daughter sleeps every single night with the moose you sent to her. She loves it and it’s sooo soft and cozy. I wish I could borrow it from her!!! LOL
A huge hug to you!

Hej raring!
Underbart att ha resan framör er med så mycket att se fram emot!
Kvalitets tid bara ni tjejer! Och vad glad mamma ska bli!!
Roligt att höra att Gotlands skinnen säljer – de är otroligt vackra!
Jag hittade en liten får farmare när vi var nere i Skåne i sommras och handlade underbara skinn. Hon hade bland annat vita lockiga skinn som var gudomliga!
Det senast här i Sweden är också getskinn! Känns nytt och spännande! Vet inte om de hårar (så som renskinn gör) men kanske något för dig att undersöka då det inte nått mass marknaden ännu. De är säkert mycket billigare också!
Sötis jag vet inte om vi kan komma upp till Stockholm den här gången. Beror på hur länge ni stannar? Har inte hört från dig om några datum – förodar att du har fullt upp. När och om du får en röd sekund över kan du väl hiva iväg ett snabbt mail eller sms så jag vet.
Massor av kramar och God speed!
xx sis
