A rainy Autumn Day

What a sad rainy day here in Edinburgh and it is cold as well.  I have had some time today to freshen up the window and prepare for more Christmas deliveries and just try to get myself a little bit more organised.

The shop feels really full and vibrate with all the latest deliveries and it sure looks lovely and colourful. So I took a few images from the shop of some seasonal goodies, more to come. Think I need to use my real camera instead so apologies for dark images…well it is a dark day:)

We are expeting more deliveries all the way up until Christmas and the first pallet with Ornaments arrived last week and next one is planed in for next week, so glad in-laws will come down this weekend to give us an helping hand to create more storage units in the back office.

Have a lovely day, keep warm

Brighter…

Top topic at the moment is the weather, I can not seem to help myself go on and on about this sad dull lack of sun Summer!

So was I happy today or what when KG Design and Sagaform arrived today! Am so pleased, started with KG Design. Coasters, trivets, oven gloves/pot holders in all kind of colours, and yay lovely new tablemats shaped as a cloud in milkshake pink and sky blue.

Jubilee Tea Towel

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

Delivery

A small but very welcomed delivery from KG Design arrived on Friday.

So finally back in stock are the funky bottle stoppers shaped as an Owl.

And of course more colours of the Flower coasters and more colours of the Lace coasters. Perfect for a hot cup of tea to protect a sensitive surface, and not to forget they are really cheerful and pretty as well as non-slip since they are made in silicone.

And my personal favourite the Owl Money-bank in silicone in more colours. It wont break if you drop it, perfect for anyone who likes to count their money, (and it is very light, so a perfect gift to ship).  Just love it in the bright pink.

 KG Design is a lovely small company based in Gothenburg, Sweden. They started by designing a range for the dog and its owner but have since then expanded their creativity and now focus on functional, stylish and unique designs for everyone in the family.

We love KG Design, for us they are truly unique and we are so happy to be able to represent such an cheerful and good quality brand.  We hope you love them just as much as we do.

Time to get a bit cosy…

Oh I don’t know about you, but I did not enjoy yesterday’s weather at all, felt frozen through by the time we made it home! But it is days like those when I really enjoy some me time in the evening with a cup of tea snuggled up in the sofa under a warm blanket. And best of all: candles, candles, candles…love it! Autumn is here and it sure is time to get cosy. And we have lots of lovely new designs in the shop just for this time of year. New candle holders from Broste Copenhagen and Sagaform as well as lovely new oven and serving dishes for the warm stews and warm desserts.

Have a lovely evening and see you soon

Nordic Wool

I have a new favourite in the shop, Nordic Wool, thermo cups. MENU has launched a new design with their award winning thermo cups that maintain both heat and cold, and ensure that you never burn your fingers. This time the pattern is inspired by traditional Norwegian knitted sweaters. And yes, they look like home to me, like one of those jumpers I wore when I was younger and is now back in trend.

They come in sets of two, with two different designs, so in all there are four designs. A perfect gift for someone who loves a great design, knitting, or just a bit homesick.

But this is of course not the only products that arrived last week from MENU. The gorgeous spice grinders in carbon and ash are back in stock, as well as the Dropp bowl in pink. Verner Panton’s great thermo mugs in pink and dark blue sits now nicely with espresso cups in black and purple. And in the same Verner Panton pattern are those lovely egg cups with silicone hats.

Enjoy the rest of your evening and see you soon

It has started!

Delivery after delivery last week and more this week. So exciting!!! I do love being in the shop when we get a delivery, it has been new books and we also introduced a Elsa Beskow 2012 Calendar. New cards by Darling Clementine and for you who love the Folk and Flora range there are now notebooks as well. Back in stock is the Oak trivet, Daisy, Tulip and Clover teasets, SOS candle lanterns, the Blossom teapot, cheese knives, new travel mug designs and more of the Retro breakfast set all by Sagaform. Last Friday a pallet from Cult Design, sooooo much to choose from now. Every colour cover you can think off for the Change range, new in as well, soap/lotion and dish pumps in jade, citron, black and white. Cult Design is all about mix and matching after your own taste and space, and it is such a great gift.

Saturday was a busy morning while Emma and I got everything out in the shop. It is a joy to see our shop being filled up with new designs and great new products as well as all our favourites…

Monday was a very busy day for me, we had two deliveries at the same time, the shop has a new look with lots of new cushions by Linum and more designs from Sagaform. Today KG Design will arrive with flower coasters, since we have plenty being ordered by customers you better hurry before they are all gone again.

I am looking forward to go into the shop every morning now and am exciting to see what will arrive this week, lots of lovely things for my home I hope:) Have a good week and see you soon. Charlotte x

New Delivery

Menu arrived today with some new and exciting designs. Back in stock is the popular bottle grinder in carbon. Perfect as a gift or as a elegant spice grinder for your home. We have also added in the black and the pale blue “dropp” bowls, they are amazing!!! Fun and so useful for almost anything you like. After the success with the Verner Panton egg cups we introduce the thermo cups (set of 2) in an lovely midnight dark blue and a cheerful pink. And for the dining table a contemporary water carafe that is easy to use and you wont get a glass full of ice since it has a very clever design that keeps the ice and lemon/lime in the carafe.

See you soon and have a great evening

New deliveries

This week has been a good one with deliveries, lots of fun returning and new designs have turned up and we love it.
The new cloud, frog and sheep hang storage containers are already a new favourite as well as the spice grinders by MENU (a perfect wedding gift).


Have a a lovely weekend and see you in the shop

New brand

It makes me happy when I see cheerful designs and a new brand to us is just that. We welcome MENU the sooo contemporary and functional yet so elegant Danish brand. I have seen them many times and could not resist stocking the very cool “Dropp” bowl in silicone. Yes it can be used as a fruit bowl, but there is so much more you can use it for. Since it is in silicone why not serve hot food in it or a summer trifle or the perfect (very popular in Sweden) “meringue suisse”.

And best of all when I bought the latest Homes & Interior Scotland magazine and there it was (Page 53).

But of course the “Dropp” bowl is not the only product we stock by MENU, here are a few images of the products we decided to join us in the shop. Better hurry since they already seem to be a new favourite.

See you soon
Ha det
