Friday friends, FRIDAY! And it’s a special one in Sweden today: as we’re celebrating Lucia. Alongside midsummer, the Lucia celebrations is one of my favourite. In case you’re not familiar with the concept, Lucia is an ancient mythical figure and a bearer of light in the dark Swedish winters. This morning parents across the country (myself included) waited in the dark, cameras at the ready, while our children participated in a special Lucia procession – wearing candles in their hair (gingerbread men, ‘tomten’ (Father Christmas) and other characters were also involved!). It’s a sight to behold! White must be on my mind – as I was immediately drawn to Katharina’s beautiful home in Berlin, Germany this morning. Katharina sells beautiful homeware pieces through her online shop Edel Weiss. Many of the pieces she sells can be spotted in her home, and jostle for position with a fab array of Scandinavian design lamps and cultural objects. Look out for the pretty festive touches too! Enjoy the tour!
I love the wooden trees – I’ve just been over at the Arboretum site, they sell such a great selection too (got my eye on the forest!).
Is there anything that stood out to you about Katharina’s home?
If you live in Germany, check out Katharina’s shop, it’s full of beautiful pieces!
Right folks. That’s it from me for the week! If you’re looking for Christmas inspiration over the weekend, have a delve through the Christmas and Christmas decorations archives.
I’m heading to London today to see my sisters and parents – ALL BY MYSELF! Luxury!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
