Grey nursery

We love grey nurseries.
Grey is unisex and work for girls as well as boys!
Just add your own accessories to customize.
We love to add soft pastels for newborns and zingy brights for the baby gets older.

Movember

Movember is here!


Do you know what that means?
It's a charity appeal for men's health that acts every November since 2003. Their vision is to have an everlasting impact on men's health.
http://uk.movember.com/
But men start out as boys - so we think even our youngest can start early with a health-conscious behavior...

If you share our opinion send us your Movember picture of your little baby boy/girl!
We are really excited and looking forward to seeing your health-conscious sweethearts.

The Swedish Crayfish party

We are moving towards the end of August.

As the Swedish summer draws to a close, you may be lucky enough to experience warm, clear August nights that are almost Mediterranean in character. 

That’s when Swedes have their crayfish parties.

 

 

Friends gather around a table set outdoors with bright red crayfish, bread, cheese, shrimps and various pies. And as the sun sets slowly, candles are lit and paper lanterns glow in the increasing darkness. Everyone is wearing paper hats and bibs, signing merry songs to accompany the snaps.
In the 1800s, lakes in Sweden were full of crayfish. High-class restaurant in Europe imported and served the exotic delicacy. In order to protect crayfish populations the fishing season was limited to August and September. 

That is why Swedish crayfish parties, today, are still traditionally held during August.

Swedish crayfish – needless to say – are always adjudged the best. The trouble is, they are very expensive. Whatever the origin, crayfish in Sweden are cooked as the Swedes like them – in a brine, with plenty of crown dill.

The crayfish feast , at which people gather to eat, drink and be merry, is a typically Swedish festivity marking the end of the summer.

Let the parties begin!
