This weekend I picked up the book Handmade Living by Lotta Jansdotter, recommended through Holly. Although I do not normally do this, I bought the book. On every page I found the most gorgeous inspiration, like this daily coffee celebration…
Fika is a Swedish tradition of breaking from your daily routine to have coffee with friends. Multiple times a day the people of Sweden stop work and sit down to share sweets and a drink together. Lotta describes them as tiny celebrations each and every day- how incredibly wonderful! I think we could all use a celebratory Fika break this week.
PS. The herringbone flats sticking out are mine… fall has finally reached San Diego- yippee.
blessings.
This is a great idea! i love coffee and treats, and quality time to celebrate with friends! Yayy!
p.s. did you see…you were featured on http://www.simplyseleta.com/ ? awesome!
That sounds wonderful, and much needed this week!
Fika is the best! I am Swedish and I love to fika but one has to be careful with the sweets…. LOL
