Spring For A Day

I swear that when I went into the garden yesterday morning some of my herbaceous plants in pots
were just about pocking through the soil.
With a little watering and sunshine 
 when I went back to look at them later in the afternoon they had grown 
an inch !!!


How good does a little sunshine on your head feel.
It seems to have been such a long winter.


I put out my garden chairs.
Had to throw a couple of my favourite
Cabbages & Roses Hatley Cushions
on the chairs, just checking that they go together well !
Then sat with a cup of tea
and just mulled over
in my mind all the plants I plan
to buy.
As I am sure I have lost quite a few again this winter.


Well just a very quick post today.
Finger's and toe's crossed we may have some
very exciting news next week.


Cannot say what, but here is a little clue.


Bye for now.
Have a good weekend.

Easter Fair In Sidcup


I cannot believe it is Easter already.
Our heads are in a spin.
Do you  ever get that feeling of just 
Where Do I Start...
This Friday and Saturday we are attending a French Market
in Sidcup Kent
10 till 3pm.
They are trying to rejuvenate the sad looking high street.
With shops closing and nothing
opening things are beginning
to look desperate.
But on a good note...


 We had a delivery from Denmark
this week.


The long awaited candlesticks finally arrived.
We love them.
The finish is matt and is the palest of Greys
with an aged look to the paintwork.


Two styles.
The Medium is about 27 cm.
The Taller one is about 36 cm and just a little more ornate,
which you may not spot straight away !


We also have some little Metal Herb Pots with Chalk
Board Heart.
But they can be used for anything you want 
to keep together.



Line them with grease proof paper
and fill with Chips !
Write on a name and create a very rustic
table setting.
Maybe give all the kids their own personalised
pot and fill with sweets or crayons. 


The Crates are also now available.
In four sizes.


This weekend we aim to get all the new stock
into the shop.
And during the next couple of weeks will have
lots more goodies arriving from
all around the world.
Have a lovely
Easter Holiday.
Love from
Simply
Scandinavian

A House Party & Our Christmas Goodies

 We thought you might like to see some of our Christmas Goodies
that will going into the web shop soon.

We took some of them along to a House Party.
These are a few of the photos.
The House Parties are a nice way to spend an evening or as in
the case of this one an all day open event.


We find it hard to get everything into the car, but we have a 
good attempt at it !


 It is nice hearing what the guests like and how they are going to use them


It is at times like these that we really wish we could have a real shop.
What fun we would have decorating it and displaying our wears.


Maybe one day in the future.
We would like a shop with a little Tea Room on the side.


But I think this will happen with a move to the country.






When our Christmas Stock arrives they is great excitement in our house.
You can easily forget what is coming as the order was placed many months ago.



But we love everything so it is a true labour
of love.



 

In a world of our own we play at displaying.


 These mirrored display trays make a lovely gift for Christmas.
The mirrored bottom reflects the twinkles from the votives.


They bring a pretty glow to a dark corner.


 The large zinc crowns which we thought would be great for the garden table look
just as interesting in the house with a little plant or a candle inside.


An oasis in the tray with a little Holly and Ivy and you could make a lovely centre piece for the Christmas table.


 And these medium sized metal hearts in three designs are
sweet.





 Cute little zinc buckets for a tea light.
Part of our Christmas stock we also think that they would be nice to use in
the summer too.

  

These zinc votive buckets have handles on them so they can be hung from
trees in the summer.



This jug was so popular in the summer we have ordered more
but this time we have the mugs to match.


 Pixie Hats !



 A Back Metal Pendent Light really.
They are quite big.
We think they look good singly or lined up above a large work station.


They have an sort of hammered finish and throw out a direct light.



 And something to hang in the window.
A very beautiful window votive.
 Encrusted with twinkling jewels  it looks so pretty in the evening as it
shines through your window.


 The tea light sits in the middle of the two snowflakes.
The jewels are on both sides.


And by request a little bit of gold this year.
A large mercury votive with a little handle to hang it.




A small gold votive with a lovely design.
We call it an aged gold as it is not the usual bright yellow gold.



 And a biggish pumpkin votive in again a nice aged gold.



We love these little wooden Christmas Trees.
They are nice and chunky and have
a lovely finish.



 Well that was just a few of the Christmas Goodies
we have going onto the Website.
