I love it!, originally uploaded by lille-ursus.
New birds have arrived at my house and I can't stop smiling when I see them....thanks to Andrea and myself.
Bengt & Lotta know exactly how to make things, which are different and yet simple. I'm growing more and more fond of black these days. (Now I only need to persuade my husband to agree with my idea: we must paint our frontdoor black!).
I know that this candleholder will please my eyes for many years to come. Don't you just know it right away when something has that effect on you?
Det er da skønne fugle!! Og nu du nævner Bengt og Lotta, kan jeg godt høre, at det ikke er første gang, jeg har set fantastiske ting fra deres hånd.
ReplyDeleteSortebølgen er jeg ikke lige hoppet med på - men man skal jo aldrig sige aldrig :o)
Oh, it looks so nice, Ulla!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me a bit of "The Bremen Town Musicians", a fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Even if they were not only birds ;-)
I too love black, at least a bit here and there. Maybe due to the overdose of white with pastel colours on so many blogs... In general I prefer a happy mix of colours, even if pale blue and red are my favourites. I always need some contrasts - and black is perfect for that! And that goes for clothes as well...
Have a very sunny and inspiring day!
JOW!, dét gør jeg og jeg ville også have den følelse, hvis den lysestage stod i mit hjem... hvor er den pragtfuld
ReplyDeleteJeg kan altså heller ikke stå for dem, Annette :)) Bengt & Lotta laver de mest fantastiske ting, med det skønneste naive udtryk.
ReplyDelete"Helt i sort" er jeg heller ikke gået, men jeg kan nu så godt lide når den farve er hist og pist i indretningen. Og så elsker jeg sort tøj...det har jeg alle dage gjort. :))
..............
That was my excact same thought when I saw the birds the 1st time, Juliane. Their position fit the story very well. :))
I love the elegance which black always represents - both in clothes, furniture and decorating. But as you say just a tiny bit is needed. ;))
Have a wonderful day too. :))
...............
Det er godt at du ved hvad jeg mener, Rosanna. :))
Andrea, som jeg syede nederdelen til, kom med et gavekort til én af mine yndlingsbutikker. (Og der sælger de ting fra Bengt & Lotta og masser af andre vidunderlige ting).
Så hun og jeg var årsagen til at lysestagen kom med hjem. Det var bare så sødt gjort af hende.
Jeg vil nyde at tænde lys i den...er det ikke bare helt utroligt som det allerede er begyndt at blive mørkt tidligt? Allerede lidt i ni!
Kære Ulla
ReplyDeleteDine fugler er super fine !
Den slags lysestager er så simple i udformningen og farven men pga a figurerne giver de et smukt og hyggeligt indtryk.
Så rigtig mange af dem på ferien i Sverige i sommers og har selv to små udformet som engle min svigermor har haft med fra Norge de kommer frem hvert år til jul.

Dear Ulla,
ReplyDeletethe candle holder is great indeed - and a nice thank you, too!
I also like your new photo! Now I can see more of you...
Kind regards Nina
thanks for the introduction to bengt and lotta....what wonderful things.......i love your bird candle holder and they do a fantastic moose one too.....unfortunately i dont think i can get it in england!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love them too. Like the way the wings are cut outs - really cute x
ReplyDeleteUlla, your birds are making me smile too! They are charming.
ReplyDeleteJeg har også elsket de figurer lige siden vi begyndte at rejse til Sverige, Wenche. :)) Og jeg elsker stadig dem og deres naive udtryk. Ja, jeg har en del jeg ønsker mig udover den nye stage: hesten, manden og damen der står ved siden af hinanden, og flere endnu...
ReplyDeleteJeg har også en engel som broche. De er altså også super søde.
Svenskerne kan noget helt særligt med design. :))

Dear Nina,
I'm happy that you like it. I'm so happy about it. :))
I had to get a new photo. At first I made it too big, but I think the size it has now will go. ;)
And I can see you and your sweet family too. It's always nice to get a face attached to the words. :))
Warm evening greetings
Ulla
.............
You are very welcome, elsy. :)) Aren't they just great?
The moose is nice too - I have a little cow candle holder too, and that's so fine as well.
Actually you CAN buy Bengt and Lotta's things in England. If you google DRIFTLIVING.CO.UK and then search for Bengt and Lotta, then you will see their gorgeous horse among other things. :))
..................
Thanks a lot, Amy. :)) They are made in such a simple way, but still they look so great.
They make so many other fantastic things - some of the fabric Lotta Glave has designed for Klippan is so awesome. :)
................
I'm really happy that you smile of my birds too, Katherine :)) I love it when things have that effect.
It must have been so great to design them! ;))
Skønne fugle ;)
ReplyDeleteDe laver altså nogle skønne ting de 2.
Yt.
De er da så fine, og så med lys på toppen.
ReplyDeleteSkønt at have noget, som bringer smilet frem ;-), nu vi går mod efterår.
Lovely...lovely...lovely... birds... sending you big hugs *Marie*
ReplyDeleteJeg er helt eninge, Yt. :) De to designere får man ikke nok af lige med det samme.
ReplyDeleteJeg kunne så godt tænke mig at se deres sommerbutik i Skillingaryd i Sverige. :)
.................
Det er lige hvad vi trænger til, Gitte. Lys og hygge må der til og hvis det kan komme fra stager som Bengt & Lotta har lavet, ja så skal jeg ikke klage ;))
(Se bare hvordan mørket suser imod os tidligere og tidligere!)
.................
Thanks you so much, Marie :)) We share the passion for Bengt & Lotta, you and I. I remember that you have some gorgeous candleholders made by them too. :))
I hope that you are doing fine. :))
Big hugs from me too
Ulla
ooh I like it. my front door used to be dark red, and one day I painted it black. I really like how it looks, and any wreath you hang there really pops against the black. what color is your door now?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Larissa. :))
ReplyDeleteI bet that your frontdoor looks gorgeous in black. And you are absolutly right about the fact that black makes the colors against it pop. We used to have a black fence, and I just loved how the flowers looked with the black in the background.
I'm still trying to make my husband convinced that it will look beautiful - instead of the white door we have now. ;))
