Yummy is all we can say about the new hot summer colors coming our way from Swedish watch sensation Triwa!

Triwa presents their upcoming colorful and elaborate Miami Deco watch collection. The collection is available in two models, with five colorways to each model, and the introduction of a brighter theme from what we’ve seen in the past from Triwa. As usual, you can expect top-notch functionality and durability of a Triwa watch with an added vibrant tone.

As proof of this the Skeppshult bicycle is the only bicycle to receive the prestigious award of Swedish Design Excellence.

We are so in love and now that the days are feeling a little sunnier, we can’t wait to display them. Find the Earhearts at huset now!

Easter has a number of things in common with Chrsitmas in Sweden. Easter cards are sent, Easter decorations are hung up and homes are decorated with little chicks, hens and roosters.

The home glows with yellow, which is so typical for Easter. There is no tree to decorate but people do put up Easter branches decorated with feathers in vibrant colors.

And of course we can’t forget the eggs! In Sweden children are given eggs made of paper that can be opened and filled with candy. Food plays a central role in most Swedish festivities and Easter is no exception. Lamb is eaten on Easter (which is what we’re having), some herring, eggs and maybe a little schnapps.

Something a little unique in Sweden is that the children dress up …
