Giveaway: Summer Collection from Nordic Etc.



Don't you just love when you find a new source for really beautiful things? Things you haven't seen plastered all-over-the-universe? Fresh products to refresh your eyes? I love it too. And that's just how I felt when I checked out Nordic, Etc. Then, I was even more in love when they proposed a "Summer Collection for your Home" as today's Giveaway.


The lucky winner will receive: 2 MARINE FLAG CUSHIONS (that's 2!), PLUS A MADISON SERVING PLATE, PLUS A SET-OF 2 LYCKA CANDLEHOLDERS!!


That's right. The winner will get 2 of these welcome-summer Marine Flag Cushions. (How fresh are these!) This picture has me excited to pull out the patio furniture.


Plus, the winner will receive this Madison Serving Plate. Is it a platter? Is it a bowl? I don't know, but I do know the white will look gorgeous against some green, tart, Granny Smith apples.


Plus again, the winner will also receive a set of 2 Lycka Candleholders. A sleek, simple compliment to your summer table.

Nordic, Etc. has put together an extensive
(and growing) collection of all kinds of lovely things. A new company, based in Miami and founded by two Swedes, Nordic, Etc. is all about Scandanavian design. They work only with Swedish and Danish companies, especially seeking out small, family-owned businesses using local designers. Here are some of my other favorites from their collection:


This simple, stately, glass bowl that I am in love with.


This Scandinavian Lantern perfect for bringing light to your Summer BBQs.


The Seaport Bottles. I'd love to see a windowsill filled with these.


And. This amazing lunchbox I posted about earlier.

It's an overcast day here in New York and I'm going to spend it daydreaming of lounging on the Marine Flag cushions with access to a Madison platter full of juicy watermelon while light from my Lycka candleholders flickers on a nearby table. Your own daydream is available by leaving a comment. . .

Thank you Nordic, Etc.!
