From Sthlm semla fika – our first

Today was a good day.

We invited some of the friends and very talented designers we’ve met over the past year to our place for semla fika.

Semla is a special cardamom spiced roll with almond paste, milk and whipped cream inside. So yummy, and such a tradition this time of year it even had its own holiday on Tuesday.

Fika is a social institution and national pastime. It’s coffee with friends, a little break in day to get together and chat. The phrase “coffee break” in English doesn’t have quite the nice feeling attached that fika does.

And it was a little celebration too. Our first anniversary in business and the zero anniversary of From Sthlm distribution. Yes, I have some big news to come. (!)
