Medleyesque : December 2014

The creation story of Medleyesque

Medleyesque began as an outlet to create play mat environments for my daughter. I received my love for the mystical from my mother, who often referred to different “väsen” (creatures), when she told me stories of her childhood. These stories became an integral part of my Swedish childhood. She talked about Tomten who lived behind my grandfather’s tool shed and outhouse, and when the fog came in at dawn and dusk, she asked me if I could see älvorna dance on the field. When steam was rising up among the trees she told me that häxorna were brewing coffee. I loved it and played with them all in my magic forest!

I am now a mother and I want to bring the same magic to my daughter. However, living in a large city poses some challenges in creating the experience that I had as a child. So instead I am bringing the magical forest to her - please enjoy the blog posts, the videos, and check out my etsy store as well :~)

Happy magic to you all!
