The celebration of Candlemass originated as a tribute to the light of God's glory that was manifested in Christ Jesus.

It is also the mid-point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.  The tradition want that during the Candlemass day all the candles in the house are blessed!

HAPPY EPIPHANY! HAPPY GALETTE DES ROIS

The Galette des Rois is a fantastic cake (and game!) to prepare on January the 6, the Christian holy day called Epiphany (when the 3 wise men visit to baby Jesus). The tradition of serving the Galette des Rois, a puff pastry tart, comes from France and can be traced back to the 14th century. A small porcelain figurine (la fève) is baked inside the cake and whoever receives the little favor is then crowned king/queen for the day. It's easy to preparare: here above you find the ingredients and add readymade puff pastry !

DELLEBOLLARNA!

Dellebollar are kind of small forest spirits who usually live in their moss balls. Dellebollar asleep most of the time, but do not let appearances deceive! They are always on guard and ready to listen to secrets, console and spread happiness, and when awake they are driven by a mad curiosity!
These fur balls are super cute ornaments created in Sweden with love by Jenny Dellemyr. They can be hang on the wall, used as dreamcatchers, put in the car or wherever you need a little buddy to keep you company. Dellebollar is also a wonderful welcome-to-world-gift. 
Each of these small creatures are handmade and therefore unique!
AMAZING!

 

Mum & Dad Factory

Mum and Dad Factory is a French company founded in 2012 by Clotilde Le Théo and Laetitia Olsak. Together, they make the bold gamble to offer parents an alternative to traditional furniture for children. The first project was the Mini lit, that adapts to the shape of babies. Then, they design the Toddler bed, which is very low and promotes the autonomy of the child. Recently, they create the Bench table, a versatile piece of furniture that can be use as a child desk or as an adult seat. 
All their creations meets with simplicity, uniqueness and practicality and also promotes the use of quality materials exclusively manufactured by European partners, committed to decent work practices and environmental standards.
WE TOTALLY LOVE THEM!

 

Studio ROOF

Studio ROOF was launched in 2005 (as Kidsonroof) by Romy and Ilya together with their three children. Their inspiration has always been the beauty of childhood, the imagination, nature, peoples of the world, art and craftsmanship, and the urge to create, and to unfold a new imagery. In 2013, alongside the paper products, there suddenly appeared a small collection of furniture. The roof had become too small, the studio had grown and Studio ROOF was born. 
Studio ROOF now produces two collections: the Paper Creative Collection with paper 3D
objects, toys, and paperware for ALL ages, and the Living Collection, which consists of home accessories and furniture. The imagination is always the motive behind the two collections. 
SOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

Giovelab is a project by the italian designer and artist Giorgia Brunelli. Giovelab is also a dream, a place in the woods where nature silently transgresses beyond its boundaries and lets flowers blossom in cups and tiny animals rest on serving dishes.
