Busy busy busy...

Wow, a big order of Sami Bracelets coming Sydney way!
At the end of April anyone interested in seeing and buying a sami bracelet have a chance to do so at Nordic Fusion :)
Nordic Fusion has lovely interior, food (and of course our Swedelicious Teas), jewellery and other gift ideas, so definitely worth to have a look if you are in the Manly or Mossman areas in Sydney.

What do we show our children that makes them categorise things into male and female?

I am sitting here listening Oskar (3.5 years old) play whilst holding Hugo (8 weeks) trying to work.
I can't help to be amazed how quickly they go from Hugo's age, with no set biases or believes of how people, boys and girls 'should' (and i write should as society often categorises our behaviour according to gender) to a 3 year old who gives me a 'girl' lego character. To him mum cannot be a superhero like superman or batman. According to Oskar I should like soft toys, flowers and dolls (ok flowers I do) and not the battles he plays with his lego characters (all males). They are reserved for dad. Now where does all this come from? I for one would like to change the toy commercials as there are always boys playing with star wars toys or the so called 'boys lego' and the girls are happily creating art work and playing with dolls in a very pink environment! I think those ads have a lot to answer to.
It makes me think of the art and craft fields for adults and I would love to share with you the work of a guy who creates wonderful things. If you like beautiful jewellery have a look at PM Silversmedja (in Sweden) where Pär creates wonderful art work. Another guy, an old school friend in Sweden, produces beautiful knitted garments and yarn. I wonder how many more men are out there creating, I would love to see more!

New bracelets in stock a la Stockholm style :)

A new beginning.. a work in progress :)

Excitedly i start the first post of this blog. Despite not being finished with the look, content and layout of the blog i think it is time to make a start as i have great news...
Nordliving (630 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn 3122), a Scandinavian interior/clothes/accessories/tea beautiful shop is now stocking ready made Sami Bracelets from Swede Little Things. There you will find a selection of these in assorted colours (not all colours shown here are available there now).

So if you are in the Hawthorn area, drop in and say hello / hej to Sofia and have a look at not only our bracelets but also all the lovely and beautiful things she has in the shop.

In this blog you will find ready made Sami bracelets for sale as well as designs that can be made to order, so if there is something to your liking make sure you email me as anything is possible, well to a certain degree anyway :)

If the material (colour) is in stock the turn over time (if within Australia) is about a week. Otherwise you can count on 3-4 weeks from ordering to receiving the bracelet.

Now back to a beautiful turquoise bracelet in the making... if the 38 degree heat doesn't turn me into a pumpkin.

Cheers :)
