Småkompisar of to Barcelona! Snö, here we come!

We've now just landed in Barcelona, España! Wow, what a city! Not much snow around here, but we still wrapped up warm in our hand-knitted scarf, since we might find some at Snö Mito Nórdico, C./Séneca 33, here in Barcelona - www.snobarcelona.com. Can't wait to be there! Looking forward to meeting you all - we're here to stay! See you soon!

Småkompisar visited an Elderly Home

We had the pleasure to spend a day with some really good friends at an elderly home today. So many smiling faces and beautiful warm hands. We had so much fun! We enjoyed it so much that some of us decided to stay.

Småkompisar at the Chocolate Festival at the Nordiska museet

New boxes, New Friends!

We are happy to announce that we are finally launching our Småkompisar filled with plastic granules. They can be hand- or machine washed in 30° C/86° F. Småkompisar in all colours and in white, yellow and pink boxes.

 

Småkompisar with linseed filling is our best organic choice . New colours on boxes in white, black and red.

Småkompisar at a Surströmming party!

Have you ever tried Surströmming? We did!! Today is Surströmming premiere! Surströmming (soured Baltic herring) is a traditional northern Swedish dish consisting of fermented Baltic herring. It is sold in cans, when opened, the contents release a str...ong and sometimes overwhelming odor, which explains why the dish is often eaten outdoors. So, a rather smelly food adventure, but one that was certainly worthwhile!! Try some today! :-)

Baking bread the traditional way

Yesterday we were invited to make some traditional Swedish tunnbröd (thin bread) in a wood fire oven. It was exciting! There are so many fun things to do and we're always happy to try new things.

Saft & Bullar / Fruit drink & buns

We´re having a good time on the countryside. Life is "Saft & Bullar" - fruite drink and buns in English, meaning life is great!

Swimming in the lake

Småkompisar had a splashing good time today! Småkompisar filled with plastic granules went swimming in the lake. The Small Friends filled with linseed, the landlubbers, are somehow allergic to water and had to stay on shore.

Småkompisar in Hemavan, Sweden

Småkompisar had a fantastic trip to Hemavan, Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve, Sweden. We decided to set off along the first section of the King’s Trail (Kungsleden) - Lapland’s “highway for hikers”! Twisting and climbing through the mountains and the SNOW and through some of the most breathtaking scenery you can imagine. The midnight sun was shining and the sky was blue. We also met some really nice friends along the way!
