\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

One of the things I love most about creating\u00a0is inspiration<\/strong>. It can be found in SO\u00a0many places….in nature, on buildings, on a grocery cart in Norway, while people-watching (one of my favorite hobbies when traveling).<\/p>\n

\"beautiful<\/p>\n

And how often have you seen wrapping paper and art work that you wished were fabric??\u00a0 Happens to me daily.<\/p>\n

\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

And it totally happened when I opened this book.\u00a0 Ahhh!\u00a0 The Scandinavian artwork on the inside cover is amazing, and inspiring.\u00a0 And this is a cook book!\u00a0 Well, it’s sort of a cookbook, meets craft book, meets DIY, and all things beautiful—it’s like all my favorite worlds colliding under one cover.
\nIt’s called Scandinavian Gatherings<\/a> by my friend Melissa Bahen<\/a> (who you might know as LuLu the Baker)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved<\/a>\u00a0Scandinavian design. When I was in Oslo a few years ago, I felt like I\u00a0was home<\/em>. If you’ve ever experienced that, it’s a strange feeling (you can read more about that in my previous post here<\/a>).\u00a0 Of course in lieu of that,\u00a0I travel there via IKEA every chance I can get…no passport required and it’s cheaper. Usually!<\/p>\n

But there is so much to love about the Scandinavian culture, food, and design.\u00a0 And this book totally captures that.\u00a0 It’s one of those books you just want to crawl into….and smell the beautiful flowers, help set the table, slice off a chunk\u00a0of the fresh bread.<\/p>\n

OK, maybe the bread first.<\/p>\n

\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

A few of the recipes I can’t wait to try:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cardamom Marshmallows<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spiced Apple Coffee Cake<\/p>\n

\u2022 Blueberry Custard Pie (highest on the priority list!)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ham, Havarti, and Chive Breakfast Casserole<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mom’s Maple-Pecan Rings<\/p>\n

\"Scandinavian\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

The subtitle of the book is “From Afternoon Fika to Midsummer Feast: 70 Simple Recipes & Crafts for Everyday Celebrations.”\u00a0 Which is so cool. \u00a0 I love learning more about other cultures and everyday customs….especially when it involves darling little mugs .<\/p>\n

\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

And Melissa shows you how to make them yourself.\u00a0 All the\u00a0templates for the same flowers are in the back of the book—including a template for that amazing tray on the cover. YES.<\/p>\n

\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

She also shares how to make hand-crafted candles, coasters, banners and flower crowns.\u00a0 And there’s even a section on St. Lucia day, which you know I love<\/a>.
