Stylish, Distinctive, Contemporary, Happy and Fun Scandinavian Designs for the Whole Family
The shop is receiving more and more seasonal designs and it is getting all colourful again. So it is changing from day to day which is so nice and make me happy.
I hope you will have a lovely weekend and please do pop into the shop and say hello if you are in the area.

I know I know we are a Scandinavian shop so why something for the Queen’s Jubilee, is it really something for us!? Well oh yeah, especially when this beautiful tea towel is designed by Sweden born Maria Holmer Dahlgren.
Maria has already a very successful London range and made a limited collection for Tate, which has been a huge hit. Best of all she has designed a Scandinavian range and (hint hint) bits from it will turn up here at Spektakulär late Spring early Summer. I am very excited about her collection, it is colourful and contemporary, just the way I like it:)
Hope to see you soon in the shop

A few weeks ago we took a little weekend off and went to spend time in Aberdeen with the in-laws. It was as always a very enjoyable visit with lots of good food and time for us to relax while Stina entertained her grandparents.
On our way home we went to visit lovely Paula of Farnell, this is a fantastic place to visit if you like a day trip out. The shop is owned by a very friendly lady named Paula who is Danish and when you are in the shop you get that truly Scandinavian feel! It has a lot of character since it is an old school house, half is a shop the other half is a café full of Danish Pastries and Smörrebröd.
I enjoy a visit here all year around but my favourite time is Christmas time, with log fires and light up candles all over. This is the place I find unique gifts or things for my home! Things that are a bit different and homely. Since I love finding different designs and enjoy mixing the styles at home, I somehow always manage to leave this place with that perfect treat or gift, and yet I have still not been disappointed.
I really recommend a trip here all year around, don’t forget to write down your name for a table as soon as you get there because it can get really busy!

We took the opportunity to keep the shop closed on Easter Sunday so we could invite all our lovely girls working in the shop with their families to come over for Easter lunch Swedish style… well all of us girls are Swedish except Emma our very own Aussie.
So it was a squash and a squeeze, but so lovely to have us all gather at the same time. I know the pictures are not very good and I kind of forgot to take photos as well but here only a a few, and none of us! Terrible:)
Easter in Sweden is a bit different than here, but it has also changed a bit since I was a child as well. We use to dress up as witches and knock on peoples doors asking for sweets. Kind of like Halloween I guess, but we also gave a lovely handmade pictures as well. I remember my dad used to hide paper Easter eggs around the house filled with pick and mix… amazing how they coped with us children all sugared up!?
As I remember it a Easter lunch/dinner is not far off our Christmas lunch, a bit more fish perhaps. We obviously eat a lot of herring, lax, egg and lamb at Easter and rinse it down with a strong Schnapps and sing silly songs.
I need to take some photos of us who works in the shop…one day!
