Alicia always loved Nordic countries, she herself is from a warm place, Mallorca in Spain to be precise. A couple of years ago she moved from Mallorca to Sweden with her boyfriend and two cats.Today they live in the middle of a forest, in a small house. Alicia has always appreciated antiques and folk art.
In 2013 she started her shop Tienda Nordica. In the shop we can find many vintage Scandinavian items.
From toy's to dinnerware and from sculptures to woodwork. It is a joy to browse trought Alicia's shop and check out all the items for sale! The shop is very colorful and the items have a truly warm and homely feel about them. They are the kind of things that will welcome you home every time you enter your house.
The Dala horse is a Swedish traditional handmade horse, mostly used as a toy. It is carved from wood and hand painted! These horses can differ in style and the way it was painted depending on the region it was made.
This is a set of a pepper and a salt shaker, they are made of porcelain and bronze and beautifully decorated.
The simplicity in the design of this elegant deer has a lot going for it. The clean lines make is look like a modern piece, and is truly timeless. The craftsmanship used to make this statue is admirable!

I love Folk Art, and where they live in Sweden sounds delightful. I will check out her shop.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed! I have been to Sweden once and it is gorgeous!
DeleteBeautiful finds!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and totally jealous she gets to live in Europe :)
ReplyDeleteWishing her a good life in Sweden :) T.
Sweden is a beautiful country, I have visited once and if you get the change you should go!
DeleteHow awesome (maybe sometimes scary depending on the animals) would it be to live in the forest? I really like the clean lines on the deer sculpture. Great feature. :)
ReplyDeleteI would not know if it is dangerous, but I do think Swedish forests are very pretty!
DeleteI hope to visit there one day in the future! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteThe Dala horse is beautiful! I love handmade wooden toys like those. When I was in Mexico I bought some mini wooden animals that had nodding heads. They made great gifts for my coworkers and family.
ReplyDeleteI have always admired the Nordic designs. The designs are very calming. Thank you for sharing.
