This week’s Tuesday Huesday image is from an apartment available for let in Malmö, Sweden. The mix of strong, bright colours and patterns is just right – not jarring in the least.
Have a look at the estate agent’s website for more gorgeously decorated Scandinavian properties!
I’ve loved Gudrun Sjödén‘s fashion for over a decade – it really my style. This pair of catalogues popped through in the post this week ad I can hold off buying no longer.
Striped, spotted & solid microfibre tights, from £13 per pair – Gudrun Sjödén
I am going to treat myself to a few pairs of the wonderfully colourful tights. It’s spring at the moment, but it’s still chilly enough to wear them!
I’ve just discovered the website of estate agents Alvhem Mäkleri och Interiör. They don’t seem like any estate agency I’ve ever encountered – they seem, well… NICE! They’re all about impeccable standards, passion for properties, not doing the hard sell.
Their site is brimming with gorgeous photos of the interiors & exteriors of some of their apartments -I’d be lining up to put an offer in on any single one of them!
We’re saying a fond farewell to our gorgeous Stig Lindberg bowl in a few days. We bought it last year at auction and despite it being very tempting to keep hold of these items indefinitely, we have to make a living. So it’s up for sale!
It’s a stunning piece with blue band and black zig-zag design – hand decorated by Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg of Sweden in the 1950s. Fully marked to the base with the artist’s distinctive markings.
We put most items on our own website, but we’ve decided to list this one on eBay. There are avid collectors of Scandinavian pottery from this era – and Stig Lindberg-designed examples in particular. It will reach a wide audience for collectors worldwide who are searching for him by name. If you’re a fellow fan, there’s still 4 days left of the auction.
We’ve enjoyed living with it for a while, but it’s just got a bid… so it looks like goodbye!
Very timely! A set of four stamps from Sweden celebrating St Valentine’s day. What’s the word for ‘Love’ in Swedish I hear you ask? Well, it’s ‘Kärlek’!
These stamps are currently for sale from the Philatelic Agency of Japan for 1,350 yen (approx. £10/$16 USD)
