I love those cups in the photo (my grandmother had some similar ones), wish I could read German so that I could figure out how to get them!

Would never have thought to put rosemaling on shoes. Neat.

Does anyone know how to or if it’s possible to buy those shoes? The entire collection is amazing!

Alli…I can read German but it’s not much help in this case; the websites are all in Swedish.

I was able to figure out that Toyo Form’s products are sold at two venues, one of which is online:

http://designista.se/

This site offers an English version and, if you click on “Designers” and then “Toyo Form”, you’ll find the cups.

It looks like they take the usual credit cards and also ship worldwide.

Umm all these links lead to her blog which is entirely in Swedish. I would love to find out about those beautiful shoes. Help I don’t read Swedish!?!

Thank you so much!!

Anne: The shoes are designed by a swedish designer called Åsa Westlund and you can buy them online from www.Tjallamalla.com

LOVE the Husmusen blog– especially since I can READ it (my mom kept us kids connected to her culture)!!!!

(p.s. I think there is a Google translator?? check into it …)

The thing that I love most about Scandinavian living (now that my sister lives in Denmark, I get to soak that up too) is the commitment to using well designed items that are meant to be ENJOYED on a daily basis.

As always, thanks for all the great heads up, Grace!

I really want to buy those shoes! I couldn’t find a link to a shopping cart anywhere. Is there any way possible such a link could be found?
