Skandinavisk + Design Bloggers United = KOTO

Pas facile de se remettre au travail après 3 semaines reposantes en famille en Suède... On a eu un temps magnifique, 27-30° et grand soleil, et j'ai passé mon temps à me baigner, faire des jeux, bouquiner et à contempler la mer baltique :)<br /><br />Pour ce premier post, je suis ravie et excitée de vous parler d'une très chouette collaboration entre <a href="http://skandinavisk.com/" target="_blank">Skandinavisk </a>et <a href="http://www.bloggerstour.com/" target="_blank">Design Bloggers United</a>!

The scent of Scandinavia

Il y a quelque temps, j'ai reçu un une bougie de <a href="http://skandinavisk.com/" target="_blank">Skandinavisk</a>, une jeune marque qui produit des bougies de haute qualité en hommage "au mode de vie scandinave, aux vastes paysages silencieux, au partage de moments chaleureux, au peuple le plus heureux" comme ils le disent si joliment eux-mêmes.<br /><br /><a href="http://skandinavisk.com/" target="_blank">Skandinavisk </a>a récemment lancé une collection de 5 nouvelles bougies, ou chaque parfum rappelle un trait unique de la Scandinave: le parfum floral de l'été suédois (Sommar), la brise de l'archipel (Ö), la quiétude scandinave (Ro), le bonheur urbain de l'une des villes les plus attirantes au monde (København) et l'impressionnant paysage des fjords norvégiens (Fjord).<br /><br /><i>Some time ago I received a candle from <a href="http://skandinavisk.com/" target="_blank">Skandinavisk</a>, a young brand producing high quality candles as "a celebration of Scandinavian lifestyle, the vast silent landscapes, of cosy shared moments, of the world's happiest people" as they so beautifully describe it themselves. </i><br /><i><br /></i><i><a href="http://skandinavisk.com/" target="_blank">Skandinavisk </a>recently launched a collection of 5 new scents, each capturing a unique aspect of Scandinavia: the floral scent of a Swedish summer (Sommar), the breezy scent of the archipelagos (Ö), the scent of Scandinavian tranquility (Ro), the urban bliss of one the world's most desirable cities (København), and the drama of the Norwegian fjords (Fjord).</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifOqJsJ_5glt4o4p4A0e6PUuxvn8KuQuoErWOk1FmjKI5mDL21uFsCLovHucKsc9Mu3e1aWRtkDDCtg1wGS8xQ7RDLCyzUcsHbcW4F_bNjo8TPrGDRjrW8A9Xa2AcIYK_bN1Tt_-vzOfU/s1600/IMG_9243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifOqJsJ_5glt4o4p4A0e6PUuxvn8KuQuoErWOk1FmjKI5mDL21uFsCLovHucKsc9Mu3e1aWRtkDDCtg1wGS8xQ7RDLCyzUcsHbcW4F_bNjo8TPrGDRjrW8A9Xa2AcIYK_bN1Tt_-vzOfU/s1600/IMG_9243.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Je n'ai pas raté un seul été en Suède depuis que je me suis installée en France il y a plus de 20 ans, alors le parfum floral de l'été suédois était exactement ce qu'il me fallait...
