Lately, the Danish concept of Hygge has been traveling around in meme land. Given the Scandinavian roots of our store and the fact that we are chock-a-block full of beautiful Danish candles, we have added a new tab to help you add a little Hygge to your life!

Finally, at long last, we are moving the web-site into the 21st Century! Thanks to my friend Tina and Bohdan at Interconnect Communications, we are preparing to sell, first, our very popular taper candles and, soon, our Norse Museum jewelry.  We should be up and running over the next few weeks. We are also preparing our Facebook page, so you can "Like" us there!

While all of this is going on in the cyber-world, I am setting up a small satellite store in the new Antique Mall on the Langley Bypass in the Langley area, south of Vancouver.  The store is called Antique Concepts and the Antique Mall part should be fully ready and stocked by mid-November.

At the Ladybug at Mattick's Farm, we are preparing to set up for Christmas. Over the next two weeks our little Elves will be taking over and spreading a Nordic Christmas through the store. We are adding a lot of linens and new glass to our lines, so look for new treats amongst your familiar friends.

I have promised to be better about up-dates, so keep an eye on the blog!

Hello Everybody! Here we are into the New Year.  I hope the transition from the feverish activity of the Holidays to the regular grind was smooth and free of extra pounds!

The snowfall before Christmas was not very helpful.  Mattick's Farm is far enough out that inclement weather is a real problem.  To those of

you who made it out, a heartfelt "Thank-you".  To those who were trapped at home or otherwise wary, we hope to see you throughout the year and next Christmas.

The Spring stock is coming in already:  Bright new serviettes, fresh pottery from both Sue Clarke and Marilyn Henderson and sooner than we think, Easter candles and egg cups will be sliding in too.  A Valentine's display will be out first, in the third week of January...a few nice candles for that romantic dinner, perhaps?

Over the next weeks we will see a new line of napkins, mugs and placemats in the store.  I have been looking at this line for a while and am pleased that the supplier has offered it to me.  I'm sure it will be a welcome and complimentary addition to our selection.

I'll try to post more often in the next weeks, so watch this space!

Greetings Everyone! Yes, once again, the Christmas Season is closing in!  Currently, the big order from Denmark is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, due to arrive in Vancouver on the 3rd of November.  Give us a few days to bring the shipment to Victoria and clear Canada Customs and the new stock will start to appear for the weekend of the 6th.  All of the goods from our domestic suppliers are already on the way in, so early Christmas shoppers can find all manner of treats.

The store will be officially ready on the 12th of November as the Christmas window goes in that day.  We are looking forward to seeing many of our friends over the holiday season and hope the store fulfills everyones expectations.

Please join Leslie, Mary, Betty, Bonnie and myself over the last two weekends before Christmas for a warm spiced apple cider and perhaps a guest appearance from Victoria and Birgitte, as well.

I'll keep updating this site over the next weeks so check back!

Cheers,

Michael
