get yer heart on–nordic style
record breaking cold temperatures are keeping everyone indoors. our primal instincts are taking over, encouraging us to snuggle up & hit the snooze button. don’t let the chill keep you from partying– need some encouragement? look north!
hearty inspiration abounds. these folk embrace the cold in ways we can learn from. they get out, skate the frozen canals and have a national waffle day! gotta love that! despite the harsh cold around them, nordic things always have a buoyant quality. whimsical flourishes on the most pedestrian of objects to make you smile.
take this juniper wood trivet. it just seems more special beause of the sweet little heart designs. use these for centerpieces on your tables, or on a dessert buffet.
cute hearts (hanging from branches) with ric-rac details make cute decor turn favors. fill them with lavender to assure their reuse in a closet or drawer.
istockphoto has colorful artwork for your invites. use traditional bright dishware–making that the focal point–and skip the flowers altogether.
remember the hot cocoa–maybe give thermos gifts?
need a fun craft for kids? use old sweatshirts to make fleece hats!
