sometimes you just know...

Just one look. That's all it took. A single glance at this shot and I just knew that I would love this smell!

That's the true glory of the interweb. You constantly come across things that may be totally new to you but are utterly established and a part of life in another country.

Case in point Skultuna and Sweden.

This company was established in 1607!!!!!! That's utterly mindboggling, even to someone who comes from a country with a long history.

For over 400 years Skultuna has produced fine metal objects of the highest quality for both everyday use and for special occasions. Always with that same sense of quality, function and design Skultuna today creates tomorrow’s antiques.

Skultuna was founded in the year 1607 by King Karl IX of Sweden as a brass foundry. Today Skultuna is one of the oldest companies in the world and it is still a purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden. For over 400 years, Skultuna has produced objects of the highest quality for both everyday use and for special occasions. Always with that same sense of everlasting quality and design. 

Skultuna has two product lines, a Home Accessories line designed by leading international designers such as GamFratesi, Lara Bohinc, Luca Nichetto, Monica Förster, Richard Hutten and Claesson Koivisto Rune to name a few. Skultuna also has a popular Fashion Accessories line.

So many wonderful wonderful accessories for the home, vases, pots, trays, candle holders. Each one more wonderful than the last but what really has my heart beating faster are all the bangles and cuffs.

Send them all. I would happily wear each and every one. 

Even just from the website the quality is shining out of the screen and the prices seem unbelievably reasonable. I  am struggling which one to choose but I will report back on quality once I make my mind up. I am 99.99% sure I will go for the flowers and honey bees one above.
