The Creative Collective Sweden & Friends’ Scandinavian Christmas Calendar

pressbild-julkalender-tcc_6

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I am so excited that we are just days away from the start of our third annual Creative Christmas Calendar. I’m really proud to be a part of The Creative Collective Sweden – a network of ten creative bloggers in Sweden, and the Christmas Calendar is my favourite thing we do together.

Our Calendar is the best way to countdown to Christmas. Every day one blog presents something lovely and Christmasy to make, bake or do this holiday season – you’ll get inspiration, great ideas, step-by-step DIYs, recipes, the works. All inspired by the perfect Scandinavian Christmas.

This year the calendar will also feature a long list of celebrated guests, among them The House that Lars Built, Babes in Boyland, Sweet Paul, Mokkasin, and At My Casa. Each guest will present their unique take on a Scandinavian Christmas, and help you to have the most beautiful Christmas ever.

So be ready on December 1st – Gina of Willowday is kicking off the calendar this year. The countdown to Christmas has never been more creative!

The Creative Collective Sweden is a group of like-minded creative bloggers in Sweden. Spanning design, crafts and DIY, interiors, food and baking, and lifestyle, the Creative Collective Sweden offers a uniquely Scandinavian aesthetic and point of view. 

The Creative Collective Sweden is made up of:

  • It's grey and rainy today (we seem to have brought the Swedish summer weather with us) so we headed up to San Pantaleo for market day. We bought pecorino, torrone and local honey and one of the shopkeepers gave Nonie a very sugary bun that she devoured. Then we peered over the gate into our old garden - my parents' beautiful little village house - and I showed the children the orange tree that was planted when I was born, and my sister's lemon tree.
  • That's a five story water slide off the side of that yacht. I'm not even kidding. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Yesterday started with a 04:45 wake up call after two hours of sleep and ended with a skinny dip in the pool at twilight after the kids were down for the night, tired after a long trip, a few hours at the beach, pizza at their favourite place, grocery shopping, and ice cream at everybody' favourite place. Today started with a smattering of rain on the roof and thunder rumbling in. We worried that we might have brought the Swedish weather with us. But by lunch the sun was back and we did it all again today. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • The trip went so well. It's so hot. We just had a quick pasta pesto up at the house before heading down to the beach. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • On our way! #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • And after ice cream, pizza for dinner in my old neighbourhood!
  • Traditional last day of school ice cream in our old neighbourhood. At the end of summer Louis and Léonie will be starting at a pre-school in the burbs so we might be having summer break cones somewhere else next year! #itstraditionandyoudontmonkeywithtradition
  • Lunch out with just my big kid.
  • A day to remember. #fredriksofia2017
  • Wedding ready. Three little attendants. One bridesmaid. And the only guy at the wedding who took advantage of a white tie loophole: traditional clothes. Not shown: the Canadian flag (beside the Skåne flag) to honour the bride and groom's roots. #fredriksofia2017
