Christmas can come


The Christmas market in the Tykarpsgrottan was a wonderful experience again! And a big THANK YOU goes to Anna and Markus and their helpers for the great organization.


We also have to say at this point how happy we are when we see the amazement in the eyes of people who admire our items and give us such positive feedback. For example, that they are delighted with their purchase from last year and now need a gift. Or, as a woman who was given a ball last Christmas told us, that she loves it so much that she doesn't want to put it away again when the season is over.

We are really happy to receive such compliments and are proud to give other people a very special joy with our creations. And of course it is a reason to continue to implement and offer new ideas.


As promised, the new items will now also be in the shop.

As suggested last year, there is now also a small Christmas ball with a gnome. And Kalle has been given a new look, so he is now available in another color. There is also a candle holder in the form of a small Christmas arrangement with three balls, which can be fitted with a stick candle. If you would like to give a potted plant or a bouquet as a gift for Christmas, then our flower sticks in the shape of a snowman or Santa Claus might be a nice addition to your gift. Our new icicles look great as decorations for example on the curtain rod or on the Christmas tree and are available in three sizes. If you don't just like watching the birds in the bird feeder, you can now also bring a pine cone with two tits on it into your house and hang it in the window, for example.

If you are looking for a gift and know that the recipient will like our products, but you are not sure which motif or color (such as the balls and candles) would suit them best, then we now also offer a gift voucher. If you want to give something as a gift but don't want to wrap it yourself, we now also offer gift boxes that match our small items (but are also available individually and independently of the item). A card is also available in a matching design.

We currently only have the Christmas edition 2024 on offer, but neutral designs will follow.


We also make the gift boxes and cards ourselves and stamp them by hand. We enjoy creating something other than ceramics. In this new area too, we can let our creativity run wild with paper crafts.



Now, after the last few stressful weeks, we want to go on holidays until January 12, 2025.

There are a few items left over from the Christmas market, so that those who decide at short notice can still find a Christmas present. We will of course process these orders immediately after receiving them.

We are giving a 10% holiday discount on orders up to and including December 31, 2024.


We will be back from our company holidays from January 13, 2025. Due to the weather, production will only take place to a limited extent until the end of February (at the current time). We hope you understand that we do not want to use energy unnecessarily (keyword: climate protection), the extra costs of which would then have to be passed on to the goods if we were to fully heat our workshop.

But don't let that stop you from placing your order. We will see that we can implement it as quickly as possible!


Now our craft tables are being tidied up and the ceramics are being stowed away in the cupboards so that there is space for the paper crafts. Grab the scissors and let's get started....



We wish you and your loved ones a particularly wonderful Christmas time and a happy new year.


Christmas market 2024

Message from 28.11.2024


The countdown has begun - just one more week and it will start.


As already announced, we will once again have an underground stand at the Christmas market in the Tykarpsgrottan. We will start setting it up in a week and then visitors can come:


Friday 6/12 14.00 – 19.00*

Saturday 7/12 10.00 – 19.00*

Sunday 8/12 10.00 – 18.00**

*last admission 18.00

** last admission 17.00


Entry only with tickets and these can only be purchased online! here


We will be giving away vouchers on all three market days. Each day we will add a voucher to the first 12 purchases with a minimum value of 500 Kr. This can be redeemed on the next online order in our shop.


We will of course have a few new items at the Christmas market again.

After a visitor asked last year whether we had the small Christmas ball with a gnome, we implemented the idea this year. There is also something new to hang.

If you want to give a little something as a gift, this year we are also offering gift boxes for our small items, as well as matching Christmas cards.

If you know that the recipient likes our items, but you are not quite sure which design would suit them best, we also offer gift vouchers.


Our gift boxes, matching Christmas cards and vouchers in a uniform design are handmade and only available in limited quantities at the Christmas market.


As usual, all new products will be posted here in the online shop after the Christmas market.


Since we are in the middle of preparing for the Christmas market, we are currently unable to produce any orders.

We are happy to get your order and will process it, but unfortunately we are unable to produce it at the moment.

If the right item is still in stock after the Christmas market, we will be happy to pack and ship it immediately from 9th December!

Otherwise, we will have Christmas holidays again after the Christmas market.


We are looking forward to the Christmas market and your visit.


Have a particularly wonderful pre-Christmas season.


Summer is slowly coming to an end

The green of the trees is gradually turning yellow and the first birch leaves are already scattered on the ground... slowly but surely autumn is coming. And with it the time for hot drinks, a good book and a cozy corner while the wind outside makes the colorful leaves dance or the rain patters on the window.


There is also a new cat in our shop from now on.

Snorre has woken up just in time to chase the dancing leaves in autumn.

If you have two velvet paws at home, then our new model of the two friends might be the right one for you.

As usual, we are happy to paint all cat models based on pictures of your own house tiger if you would like to have it immortalized.

Of course, it is also possible to write the name(s) on all models, provided the right accessories (base/basket) are chosen for the cat.


And as sure as autumn is coming, we can announce that we will be standing in the old tunnel of the Tykarpsgrottan underground Christmas market again this year.

So if you want to come along, mark the date in your calendar now: from December 6th to 8th, 2024.

As usual, tickets are available online o n l y here.

We will announce more information about this year's Christmas market at a later date.


A little tip: If you want to give one of your loved ones a special gift, e.g. for Christmas, then now is the right time to think about it and order in good time. Because we rarely have items in stock that we can send immediately. We usually need between 2 and 6 weeks for production and ask you to think about this if you are looking for a gift for a fixed date.


Have fun browsing in our shop :)


We wish you a particularly cozy autumn

on the way to the Christmas market

Welcome 2024 - the year is off to a good start

First of all, we wish you and your loved ones a Happy New Year!


We enjoyed a relaxed Christmas season and used the rest of our company holidays for small renovations in the new year. One half of our living room has always been our craft corner. So it was set up so that there were shelves for goods, paints and other utensils and our table where we could paint and do other crafts. But now we have redesigned this area and equipped it with two large desks and many more cupboards, so that we have more space for work and storage (you can see pictures on the right). Now we're just waiting for our new desk lamps to arrive, then our new workplace will be perfectly equipped. We can't wait to get back to work and painting again in the newly designed craft corner.

Once again, a big thank you to everyone who supported us so much with their purchases last year and made this makeover possible for us...Thank you very much!


Unfortunately, there is also some not so good news:

We are still slowed down in production due to the weather.


We've been back from the company holidays for a week and are immediately processing everything that lands in our inbox, but we can't get started in the workshop yet. Because of the sub-zero temperatures (often in the double-digit range) that lasted for days around the turn of the year and in the first few weeks, our tub with the liquid casting clay froze into a massive block. Even the current single-digit plus temperatures don't help much to unfreeze the block again. And the fact that we don't turn up the heating in the workshop to full capacity is hopefully understandable, because we all want to contribute to climate protection and not waste energy unnecessarily. Even if we did, it would take several days for this huge block of ice (approx. 60 liters of clay) to unfreeze and that would consume a lot of energy (we would then have to pass on energy costs to the orders)!


Given the current weather forecast, we roughly estimate that we won't be able to start working in the workshop again until the end of February.

But we are already working on a solution so that we can still cast a few parts and produce orders during this time!


We thank you for your understanding and will do everything we can to ensure that you are satisfied.



Have a nice start into the new year.

And once again it was a very nice Christmas market, for which we would like to thank Anna and Markus once again! Of course we will be there again next year.


We have stowed away everything we had from the market and can now put the new items in the shop.

And that's not a little:


There is a large Christmas ball and also a small Christmas ball with a new motif. Suitable for the small Christmas balls, we now also offer a separate stand on which you can hang the small balls. Our little chubby snowman Lillebror has been joined by his big brother Kalle. We complemented the Christmas balls and candles with an oval landscape, which has the same lighting like the candles. If you would like something to hang in the Christmas tree, on a gift package or on another place, then we have something new for this case too. On our Aurora trailers, we captured the spectacle of the Northern Lights over an icy landscape. And last but not least, Knut rolls into our shop with a snow or Christmas ball.


We still have a few pieces left from the Christmas market. Just take a look to see which item you are interested in and what version of stock is listed. Of course, you can also write to us and ask about an item directly.


The time before the Christmas market is always a bit stressful and that's why we want to enjoy a cozy and relaxed Christmas time like every year.

We are on holiday until January 14, 2024. And as usual, we are giving a 10% discount on all orders placed by December 31, 2023.

From January 15, 2024, we will once again devote our full attention to all orders received.


Don't panic... of course we will process orders for goods that we have in stock immediately!!!



We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas time and a happy new year.

We do it again - Christmas market 2023.

We enjoyed it so much last year that we will be taking part in the 3-day Christmas market at Tykarpsgrottan Hässleholm again this year.

Like last year, we will be standing in the old tunnel again. At a constant +8°C it will get cold over time, but the cozy atmosphere with the cozy lighting will warm your heart.


We will again have our candles and Christmas balls with us, as well as little things if you are just looking for a small Christmas present or souvenir.

If you were there last year and are now thinking, "I've seen it all", wait! It will be worth visiting us again this year because there are new products waiting for you at our table. If you regularly visit our site, you've probably noticed that there weren't many new products and promotions here this year (unfortunately, the year didn't quite go as we planned).

We are bringing some new products to the Christmas market! But pssssst... what that will be isn't revealed yet... the excitement of the surprise is what makes Christmas really nice. ;-)

But this much can be said - there will be at least 3 (min) new items on our table.


So, come over:


When:            Friday 08/12 14:00 - 19:00 / Saturday 09/12 10:00 - 19:00 / Sunday 10/12 10:00 - 18:00

Where:           Tykarpsgrottan, Tykarp 7169, 28192 Hässleholm


Please note:    Admission with tickets, which can only be booked online and are limited.


You can find the ticket booking and all other informations on the Tykarpsgrottan homepage right here.



If you can't come to the Christmas market, don't be sad. We will also put all the new products in the shop after the Christmas market. If you're lucky and quick, you might be able to buy one or two pieces that are left over from the Christmas market and that we can then send out immediately. If the goods you want are not available, you are of course welcome to place your order and we will take care of it after our company holidays.


This Christmas market has a very special atmosphere.
