Thanks to all that participated in our giveaway. And the winner is Smudgetikka!
I am excited to see all the new designs using recycled materials that have been appearing lately. It used to be hard to find something nice, in the future it will be the new normal.

Thank you so much Bianca, they are stunning items and I will add them to my small but hopefully growing collection of Scandinavian homeware.
I have recently found out that here in the UK, we have the biggest plastics’ recycling plant in Europe, and I am thrilled that we are recycling more plastic bottles. They have been a real issue (highlighted by The Plastiki Expedition) and we really have to get on top of this mountain of plastic (literally and metaphorically). I recycle everyday, but I am hoping to get more involved in sustainable fashion in my job as well.

I love my Provence bowl. One of many beautiful “stuff ” from Holmegaard.
Recycling is good for our earth, and I like to give away things who can be used in other ways..
