Happiness in a box...


Team Nikolovskis passion and enthusiasm for good food, products and fresh vegetables is a well-known fact. This is also a topic for discussions with people we meet around the world. When you start to discuss good organic products without chemicals and other stupidities, many people agree and/ or have a similar opinion that organic food is the way forward.
Not only does naturally grown products taste a lot better it is also better for you and for the environment, but I guess most people know that by now. Having said that even if people agree that organic product are better and that it is disgusting what companies do to products in order to make more money, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they buy and eat organic food. Why? Because it is expensive? Because they are lazy? Because of their lack of knowledge? I have no answer to this question more than I would guess that it is a combination of many things including above mentioned. (I have many thoughts and theorise in this topic which I will come back to sometime soon.)

Team Nikolovski believe in the benefits of natural and organic product and we work pretty hard to find what we need. In Prague it is not always so easy, although it is getting better and better and also we are learning in which shop we can find the different products we need.
Germany is a truly organic paradise with special supermarkets and shops with not only organic produced products but also locally produced. As we are not that far away we go to Dresden once a month because we love that town and at the same time we can do some good organic grocery shopping.

We are also very lucky that we know such a nice people and colleagues around the world who are crazy enough to pack a box full of treasuries directly from the garden. What a surprise, a delivery with fresh products from a warm Greek garden. These kinds of deliveries are truly magic. A box full of Greek tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, olive oil, wine and olives. I have to specially mention the homemade kalamatas, my God I have never eaten such a great olives in all my life!!! It is like eating a piece of paradise...
Thank you very much family Papadopulos!!

Weekly update 41/52 Time for warmer hats, nice books and last garden projects

  October and week 41 and I have been making lots of new jersey hats with fleece lining. The weather is getting colder and colder and yes hat season is here. I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro.  New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are.  Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations.   I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they ...

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother...
