Scandinavian Christmas Tablescape.

I had long dreamed of creating handmade table linens and coasters with a distinctly Scandinavian Christmas feel - something I had always struggled to find. Inspired by the festive whimsy of candy canes yet grounded in clean, timeless design, I crafted a collection of crisp linens edged with soft frills, weaving together the charm of Christmas with a pared-back Scandi aesthetic. Each piece felt like a little nod to tradition, while still carrying my own modern touch.

Like a Christmas Elf, I spent the weeks leading up to the season sewing tablecloths, napkins, and placemats, and even fusing glass in my kiln to create delicate coasters that sparkled in the candlelight. The process itself was filled with hygge - slow, thoughtful, and joyful. When the pieces were ready, I shared them at my village Christmas fair Wedmore ByLamplight, where the stall glowed with festive warmth and the spirit of handmade care.

To bring the collection to life, I styled and photographed it at The Space at Carrow in Bruton, hosting a small and intimate dinner that radiated cosy yet modern Christmas vibes. Surrounded by friends, family, and even a few new customers, the evening became a celebration of both craft and connection. What began as an idea grew into something more enduring - a way for others to carry these pieces into their own homes, creating festive tablescapes and new traditions for years to come. This Christmas project feels like the very heart of Huglig -bringing people together through handmade beauty, cosy traditions, and the simple joy of creating hygge around the table.
