I love to explore the Internet for different websites that produce authentic Swedish merchandise. And boy, did I find a Swedish treasure trove. It happened a few months ago.
The cold winter months are perfect for said explorations. At first it was an innocent search for dalahästar (Dala horses from Dalarna, Sweden).
The town of Dalarna is a beautiful art colony that specializes in handicrafts and brings in tourists and locals alike for the beauty as well as for an interest in Swedish art and history. And there is plenty of it!
But suppose you, like many of us, can’t make a trip to Dalarna right now. Turn to the Internet to get your Swedish fix.
My quest was easy on the Internet with the help of a website in Kansas. http://www.hemslojd.com/ . This website has Dalahästar and plenty of other exquisite Swedish goods that are hard to pass up.
Yes, I have become rather obsessed…food, coffee, jewelry, t-shirts, house wares, Christmas items, home décor. It is one stop Swedish shopping at its very best. Plus a part of the website is dedicated to learning about the Swedish traditions and culture.
Customer service is courteous and polite and delivery is extremely quick with everything coming UPS ground.
I love this website and I am definitely hooked and if, perhaps, you are in Lindsborg, Kansas there is a store that you could spend days browsing in. How cool is that?!
