In trying to describe our shop to my Danish friends, I learned a wonderful new word: ‘hygge’. Hygge doesn’t have a direct translation in English but means something close to: living simply but living well, taking time and energy to create a beautiful living space, surrounding yourself with things that inspire you. Hygge is to the Danes what Chic is to the French. It is a way of life that has always been very close to my heart but I never had a word for it, until now! My Danish friends were pleased with the explanation that the shop sells hygge to Americans. So was I! Here are some items that might increase hygge in your home:
white flower hooks for your wall from a wonderful young swedish designer.
ceramic egg cup & adorable felt egg cosy (coming to the shop fall/winter in lots of great colors!)
ceramic votive holder. gives off the most beautiful light.
birchwood tray & trivet set. perfect for serving dinner to friends!
reuseable nylon shopping bag. take one to the farmers market. very hygge!
(only $8 and available in red, aqua, olive, fuchsia and grey)
