Sweet Little Swedish Brushes - Iris Hantverk

Posted by Chloe Lappen on

In 1870, a small brush manufacturing, Iris Hantverk, was born in Stockholm, Sweden. The core business consisted of brush binding manufacturing. To this day, the brushes are still hand made by visually impaired craftsmen.

Outdoor Dinner

Posted by Chloe Lappen on

Fall is a magical time of year. The leaves turn bright colors, the sunshine becomes golden, and the crisp air drags you outside.
