Re-purposed vintage linens and candle holders made from raw birch saplings are keeping cozy alive just a little bit longer this month with featured pieces from Mårten Lindquist of Plenty Design!

Linen bread bags keep fresh loaves soft on the inside and crispy on the outside better than either paper or plastic. Each is made from vintage towels and embroidered by none other than Mårten’s own mother, making each Farmor bröd (”bread”) bag unique and painstakingly handmade.

Mention your kitchen color scheme when you order, and we’ll send you the one we have that matches most closely.

Mårten’s charming solution for storing plastic bags for reuse is likewise unique and made with care, from the same materials as the bread bags. Unsightly plastic bags are kept tidy and close in Mårten’s homey Påsar (”bags”) storage sack.

The Ume candles in two sizes bring nature indoors with woodsy Scandinavian appeal. They are made from the trunks of young birch trees with original bark preserved under a light varnish that protects them from cracking. Each is unique in shape, with its own naturally occurring bark pattern.

Don’t miss out on Plenty’s unique and handmade designs this month – the perfect expression of both nature and nurture!
