from sthlm

: : I got a very sweet email from .tiffany. at .from sthml. She is a a San Fracisco girl married to a Swede. Having spent a lot of time in Sweden she has gained a deep appreciation for Swedish design. Frustrated that she can't find some of the items in the US that she has come to love in Sweden she decided to launch her own website to bring indepent Swedish designers recognition as well as selling their products in limited editions. It's a wonderful intitative I think, and I love being able to learn about the designer and being able to buy their products. We need more online resources like this for Scandinavian products!! Thank you .tiffany.

wedding invite with a story

: : I love this wedding invite. (via designsponge) Maybe because I can relate in so many ways. God knows how many miles we traveled over the years, and the phonebills we payed. but it was never hard to justify because somewhere deep down you knew already from the beginning.........
we just celebrated our 10 year anniversary this week. (flowers and gourmet dinner awaited me at home, tack älskling!) and we've only been sharing a zip code for the last of those 10 years. long distance can work!! believe me!
