Grand Cru bamboo cheese board and trivets by Rosendahl

Rosendahl has given new life to serving trays, chopping boards and trivets with the new Bamboo Grand Cru series.

Bamboo is regarded as a sustainable resource as it’s one of the fastest growing plants in the world. and in its lifetime, bamboo absorbs 3-4 times as much CO2 as wood. Rosendahl launched the elegant bamboo series in 2011. rosendahl.com

We are particularly fond of the cheese board and the two piece set of trivets. We use the trivets merely as individual plates for a late night snack or tapas. The girls also use it for a lazy breakfast with Norwegian style waffles. Takes me back to my childhood when we always had breakfast on wooden individual trays. It’s the feel of the bamboo and the pleasing warm colour of it that makes this set so special. The bamboo series by Rosendahl are well made with a beautiful finish and it stands safely on 4 small rubber knobs, creating an amazing centerpiece for any table. Wash in warm, soapy water and rinse. Do not soak.

Grand Cru trivet measures 17 cm and retails at 21,95 EUR for two (RRP)
Grand Cru Cheese board measures 30 cm in diameter and retails at 59,00 EUR (RRP)

Pure underwear -pure joy

Wear bamboo and soy – wear the absolute best. Lilleba offers underwear for children that has the ultimate in design, comfort, and look.

Clothes worn against the skin should be soft, with a minimal amount of seams and free from itching tags. The Norwegian design team Silje Sivertsen and Nina Eikerol combine Nordic traditions and a clear cut look with the most modern qualities. They also consider a safe production of clothes under conditions favourable to people as well as the environment.
This underwear is especially recommended for children with sensitive skin or eczema. As for soy, besides being soft as cashmere, it is a vegetable protein fiber with qualities similar to those of wool. It is also UV protective 50+. The fabrics do not contain formaldehyde, which can cause both allergy and cancer.

Amélie and Beatrice has a underwear set each from Lilleba consisting of a spaghetti strap vest and matching briefs. And they are so excited about how soft it is, how warm and dry they feel and the cut and style -we simply have to get hold of more! It’s not the cheapest -but well worth it.
I’ll definitely be considering Lilleba’s nightwear collection while I’m at it. And maybe something for mummy too?!?

Spring and Summer news from Lille Barn

Lille Barn (Little Children) has managed to create yet a lovely collection in organic merino wool, organic cotton and Bamboo. The London based Norwegian talented and most charming Reidun Oliveira is the head designer behind the brand, and for her the quality of each piece and the love and comfort the child will experience by wearing it is what’s important. She has also chosen to have all her garments produced in Europe, and yet they are still surprisingly affordable.
Lille Barn is clothing for babies and children up to 6 years. Her knitted winter collection in the softest Merino Wool is what the customers really love. But I must admit, this summer collection can not be a disappointment for all Lille Barn fans. Many items like the all in one suit shown to the left is the typical Lille Barn signature style. There is also some lovely fabrics and romantic summer dresses to be found. And many items are mix and match.
But what we are especially impressed about is the boys collection. Chunky knitted organic cotton sweaters in different colours. Comfortable shorts for those hot summer days. And we simply love the reversible jacket with matching bucket hat! Don’t miss out on this one!
Online boutique is to be launched this spring. Meanwhile there are several lovely shops that stock Lille Barn; Kidsen, Cute U Look, Squibbly Biskit, Little Bou and Yellow Lolly
