Because we appreciate our Mums...

I love mother's day, especially when the children get so excited and make their own things to me. Breakfast in bed, no chores or dirty nappies, just a lot of love and being with my family...a fantastic and appreciated time.
I know we should show all the people we love and care about how we appreciate them everyday, but it is nice to have a special day... without celebrating becoming yet another year older.
I would be lying if I said I only appreciate the hand made things by my children. They are price less! But I do, like most people, like other gifts too.

So for those of you that don't have young kids making things... older kids tend to have grown out of that stage... I have decided that all the bracelets with a heart on it will be sold with a 25% off RRP.
I do have certain stock already available, but if you do want something made up the last day to place an order is sunday 4th of May. I should then be able to have it made for you and sent off on wednesday for a certain friday delivery.
If you are a local (Melbourne), then the last day for ordering is tuesday 6th of May for a pick up at Nordliving 220 Clarendon St. south Melbourne on the saturday 10th of May only.
Here are some sample photos of the most recent heart bracelets...
 Below is the heart with a 3 wave in khaki.
Measurement; just short of 18cm

 Below is a double wrap in 3 wave with the heart.
Would suit a person who would wear a 17cm bracelet.

Below is a red heart bracelet, also with the 3 wave braiding.
Would suit a small wrist size as it has a measurement of 16,5cm.

The Middle left, black with North Star design, is also available right now.
Measurement; 17.5cm

To all the Mothers, Grand Mothers, Aunties, those with Mothers who past on...
I take my hat off to each of you and send you lots of love this coming Mother's Day <3

Happy and Safe Easter holidays to everyone...

happy easter <3


My own new colour scheme stack...finally

As I make things for others I really want to have time to make myself some. Well, these school holidays I finally did! And surprise surprise... it has nothing to do with the colour blue. I have really fallen for the neutral khaki and stone colours, which has really surprised me, and I always loooove red so what is better than these?...











I love having either the words love or faith on my heart bracelets. The blue one I have made myself has the word love on it. I probably will have to make another colour heart bracelet with the word 'believe'...maybe in vintage brown??...

25% off lovely Autumn Colours for 2014...

I love trying new colours and for this autumn here in Australia, light grey (or stone as some may call it) and khaki are the new ones for me.
I have made up a couple in each colour and here matched them with a colour kick for a great effect. The turquoise that I received this time is somewhat brighter in shade and just sooo very lovely that I just had to make something for the autumn combination.
Red and charcoal are two others that I have used as well to give some depth to the combinations, and I have to say that light grey and charcoal is definitely one of my favourites.




















with the red...


with the charcoal...


And lastly a collage with the red and charcoal...
I have decided to kick off autumn..although we are already midway... with a 25% off RRP of all light grey and khaki bracelets. This includes bracelets with other colours in them, such as the North star design seen here in light grey / charcoal and khaki / red.

So till the end of May this promotion will run.

To my lovely sparkly Mamma...

These are made with lots of love for my Mamma, who lives in Sweden. Like these bracelets, she is full of life and sparkle. I know for sure she will be wearing these when she is off dancing so that the light will catch these 'bling' bracelets. 'I would love a little bit of bling' she said.
So I give these a kiss and send them off to her, in that way she has a bit of me with her. Two years between visits is very long and for all 6 of us to be able to go to Sweden will most likely sadly have to wait awhile.







Love you mum!!

Another happy post of new stockists of Swede Little Things...

So here comes the last two (hoping only for now) boutique shops to start stocking Swede Little Things bracelets.
One is again in Tasmania...third one so far... but in beautiful Hobart. It is called In Esse and has picked out a diverse range of bracelets, but bling and stand out bracelets have really been the aim of these.
These are the blue and white story...







Here we have their browns / neutrals...




And lastly, their black story...





That was for In Esse... now there is another boutique shop in Flinder, Victoria called Flinders Shed.
They have opted for the more traditional range with shed antler buttons as their clasps. I love it how each range for each stockists is unique and suits their type of shop and customers.
Here are Flinders Shed's range...








As you can see, they have the traditional 3 wave and 4 wave in very neutral colours (and no black) as well as the Stockholm design in vivid red and navy. The navy has a blue (slighter lighter shade than the navy) through it.
