The modern housewife

Oh, how I love the name of this Canadian shop based in Toronto! MJÖLK (milk in English) has Scandinavian but also Japanese design. At first I found it a bit weird, especially since the stores name is Swedish, but it's true that Japanese and Scandinavian design is quite similar with it's clean forms, light colors and useful concepts.

NUNC is a shop that sells both new and vintage things. I really like vintage but not too much so this is a perfect place for me! It feels very real and authentic with a lot of quality products.

ENKLA TING (simple things) is selling exactly what they are called, simple yet sophisticated interior and exterior design products. Their style is very natural and they use authentic materials such as concrete.
This is what I would like to see in my house and garden!

STILSAMT is a Swedish online shop with lots of nice vintage clothing and accessories! I don't own a lot of vintage, maybe because it is quite expensive here in France (it's like all the French flee markets, people try to sell crap for a ridiculous price). But I might change that, especially since I saw that it is possible to order from another country!
This is what I would like from there selection at the moment :


Russian scarf 169SEK
Vintage purse 149SEK


Blue clip on ear rings 59SEK
Scarf brosch 89SEK


Black belt 59SEK


Yellow summer belt 69SEK

My sister sent me an e-mail a while ago telling me that she would like to get pretty much everything from COCTAIL which is a store in Sweden (that I didn't know about until now). They have fun things, look at the pink flamingo or the piggy bank for example. I used to have a piggy bank like that when I was small so there is a lot of nostalgia in this store!

ANTHROPOLOGIE is an online shop with lots of interesting products! I especially like the Ipod stand in shape of a tree trunk or the beautiful books filled with all the classical litterature! Or the colorful straws in a light summer drink!

LAMA DESIGN is latin design found by a girl originally from Los Angeles. She has been traveling around Latin America and the result is this online shop filled with colorful patterns and funny objects.
I have to admit that I can't really see the latin influence but then again, it is contemporary designers.
My favorite is definitely the garden apron that I can see myself in this summer while working in our future garden!

SUPERSPACE is a Danish company who feels very wide in terms of what they offer. I know theme by their nice and magic mobiles but I found out, surfing around on their website, that they also make furniture and boutique concepts.
Their design feels very Scandinavian and the focus is Copenhagen as inspiration.

Just the name of this French design company, LA CERISE SUR LE GATEAU (the cherry on top of the cake), makes you happy! And that they make modern, graphic and very special products just adds to the success. Also take a look at the photos for every product. They are really thought out and not one look like the other. You get a pleasant surprise every time!

If you still don't know where to get your christmas cards PRINTS WITH WINGS may be a place to go. They have all kinds of cards but at the moment I think most people are looking to send christmas wishes. The only thing is that they are all in Swedish...but Santa Claus is coming from Scandinavia so why not.

I love this concept that BONBON KAKKU has . They sell fabrics that You have designed. You send your proposal to them and then people that visit the website get to vote to decide which fabrics they will sell.
So don't hesitate to send your proposal if you think that your idea is a good one!
