It is the Day of Saint Lucia. In the darkness she lights up and brings us lussekatts! Lot’s of candlelights today and of course the traditional candle-lit processions singing beautiful hymns and carols. Saint Lucia overcame the darkness and found light. In honour of this day, some more beautifulness:

…on this 3rd Sunday of Advent. Crispy cold outside and the snow is still on the ground. Today I love this:

My dear, until yesterday I have lived in bleak unawareness of the existence of a webshop called anyhow! Anyhow offers a hand-picked selection of goods from wellknown suppliers and less-known independent designers. When found, I could easily identify some favourites.

I regret that the industry-shabby metal stool is sold out, if not I would probably have bought one without a blink. It’s the perfect piece to imperfect a room arrangement that’s become too polished and set. I also favour the simple luminaire with fabric-cord, and I would not protest if someone put this Madonna in my house. She is stone-coloured and made of a heavy stone-like material.

Oh, and today’s bargain: the kitschy and glamorous table clock. It has a vast amount of (non-precious!) diamonds, rubies and topaz, and measures 14×14 cm. Due to some minor blemishes on the top of the item the price is reduced to approx £17 (195SEK). Anyhow, this gold-mine discovery goes beyond the Swedish borders – anyhow gladely delivers to Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Great Britain (with an extra delivery cost of 100 SEK and with an maximum weight of 3 kg).
