For next 4 weeks leading up to Christmas I will be creating small gift guides to help you to find the perfect gifts. These gift guides will be entirely from Etsy products. I love Etsy and althought it's huge and very daunting you can find real treasures.

As a lot of products are made to order or shipped from different countries so don't forget to order in time.

Candy shop

And one more inspirational woman from Sweden.

There is a candy shop called Pärlans Konfektyr in Swedish Stockholm which you can find at Nytorgsgatan 38. Small and discreet store is run by Leyli who made this place exceptional based on a recipe from the 30s and 40s. Everything is manufactured by hand, cut by hand and packed by hand. In a pleasant atmosphere of the pre-war style interior you can buy paper packed candy bars or a gift box with decorative ribbon. Everything is focused on quality rather than quantity. When I will be heading to Stockholm it will be on my must see list.

See you next week!...Petra

Shaped by tradition, tailored for today. from Iittala on Vimeo.

Hi, it's Petra here today. I really like new Sarjaton collection by Iittala. Sarjaton, meaning ‘no series’ in Finnish, is a range that redefines the freedom of flexibility. I personally think it is simple, beatifull and poetic. My favourite is Mug Letti old rose. And yours? more about collection here

some people might call this heaven

Me and my sister share the same passion for paper goods since we were children. Give me nicely coloured notebooks, sweet envelopes, stamps and full drawers of sharp pencils! pure bliss:) I know I sometimes end up not even using them, but they are so nice...

Last week I went to FUTURISTA which is a great shop in centre of Prague dedicated to Czech design, architecture and jewellery. It's a multifunction space based in gothic house right in middle of the city. I love design shops and we have a joke with Aud and my sister that we go to galleries just to buy something in their shop. I didn't leave empty handed again...
