Warm hug from Iceland

 

I'm crazy about these woolen blankets from Iceland!!! They are designed by a company called
Vík Prjónsdóttir. It is a creative brand that designs and produces quality products from Icelandic sheep wool; a unique and sustainable source. They take inspiration from the nature and it shows in magical ways: Blankets resemble wings or a sealskin. In my opinion somebody should sell these in Finland, but untill then Birkiland is a place to shop for the blankets. I may have to do some shopping...

DIY stamps

Postal company Posti has a great service where you can make your own personalized stamps from your photos or drawings in their webstore. It takes about a week for your stamps to arrive in the mail and Posti promises to make stamps ready for Christmas cards if you order before December 5th.

Little Studio

 

Swedish Little Studio has great products and a nice new webstore. I love those cushions and cutting board!

Nothing to wear?

If you think you've got no nice clothes in your wardrobe and nothing to wear for this weekend's parties, think again... maybe these pictures will give you some new ideas. Stunning fashion photos are by talented Ryan Yoon.  Have a good weekend!

Retro with a twist

These cabinets and desk are so retro but at the same time they look very modern. Using colours would be a great way to freshen up the look of old furniture! I might have to try something similar. These and many more from Swedish company Retro Modern Design.

Bird juices

These funny and cute cartons are not in production yet but in my opinion they definitely should be. The cartons for fruit flavoured juices are a concept designed by Norwegian graphic designer and illustrator Mats Ottdal.  I'm waiting to see these birds in stores someday...
