wooden hooks



I recently came across this firm called Live Wire Farm that make things like hooks, napkin rings, shelf supports, spoons etc. from timber and wooden branches in a very traditional Scandinavian style. I love these sort of things and it brought back a sudden flood of memories from when I lived in Sweden as a young child. We made our own hooks at school for our coats, like in the picture, did a lot of ray mears craft type stuff, built a small traditional cabin the size of a playhouse out of wooden logs as a year long project (and found this half dead scarred rabbit underneath a log we were going to use). When we finally finished, it became our cosy hang-out spot which we filled with rabbit and polar bear fur carpets.
