Ylva Skarp - Calligraphy Love

I'm starting this week by sharing the work of the Swedish calligrapher and designer Ylva Skarp. 

You may have seen some of her handwriting in several images before, but here are a few more.

The prints 'Curiosity' and 'Creativity' have been on my wish list for a while...it's one of those things that belong in my dream home... and today I fell in love with her words on ceramics as well.

Her writing just makes me feel happy!

Hope you like it.  

Tea Time!

A cup of tea and a few magazines for a perfect, quiet, afternoon.

The Vipp tea cup came from a giveaway at Walnut Grey Design blog.

Lucky me!

Tea Caddy Set by Afteroom

I spotted this product on Yatzer's Highlights of Stockholm Design Week 2013 and it caught my attention. 

Designed by Chen-Yen Wei and Hung-Ming Chen, for their Stockholm based design studio Afteroom, the Tea Caddy Set includes beautifully designed ceramic storage and a bamboo spoon. 

"...a truly sincere attitude of serving tea."

Wishing a sunny weekend to everyone!

Mia Blanche Ceramics

Even though Spring has officially started, here in Denmark we had a very cold and snowy week. But the days are longer, the sun actually shows up more often, and my mind is completely set on warmer days. So I decided to share some images with a "Springy" feeling while I dream of having brunch in the terrace (if the snow ever goes away). 

Mia Blanche ceramics is a Sweedish atelier (and shop) launched in 2008. The products are designed and hand made by Mia Blanche and show different influences: from textile patterns (especially laces inherited from her grandmother) to oriental inspired themes; a mix of old and contemporary. I chose to share my favorites here but you can see more by clicking on the links above.

Feinedinge Ceramics - "Alice"

I spotted these beautiful ceramics on this post by Radostina from 79 ideas and decided to find out a bit more about them and share my favourites. 

They are from an Austrian atelier called Feinedinge and the collection I'm sharing is called Alice...soft pastel colours and feminine lines, with some touches of playfulness...kinda takes us back to the tea party of Alice in Wonderland.

Giveaway Win!

During the Christmas holidays I decided to participate in a few wonderful "giveaways" that some of my favourite blogs were holding. I normally feel a bit shy about participating in these things or even just when leaving comments on other people's blogs (I know!... it's silly) but there were so many gorgeous things that I would love to have for my home that I just couldn't resist. And man!... Am I glad I didn't! I ended up winning two of them! 

I'll talk about the second one later (when I receive it), but the first one was held by the Cherry Blossom blog, a blog that belongs to a girl from Norway, with flawless taste, and where I go to for a dose of daily Scandinavian inspiration. 

And yesterday I received my prize in a beautiful package from Story North...

The tea towel is from by nord and the mugs are a design by Filippa K for Rörstrand.

Aren't they just perfect?

Choux+Scratchy

I recently found out the amazing work of two illustrators that got together to create the most amazing and cute world in ceramics. The main figure is a little girl with these dreamy and almost sad eyes... but do visit their blog choux+scratchy for more images and to meet the rest of the family.

I just adore this plate with the girl looking at a lady bug...

and how wonderful it would be to sleep on a plate of biscuits...
