Introducing a new kind of tree at Chalet in the Woods: Saint James decision trees! More than the iconic 15 stripes, Saint James offers an impressive variety of styles. Yet choosing is easy! Have a look at the maker’s workflows below.
For best results, call or visit the Chalet. We’re open by appointment only right now, but we’re always happy to set you up.
We see many Scandinavians at Christmas time, coming to find gifts as well as all things needed for a Nordic holiday. However, I favor summer at the Chalet. Our forest setting of Western Red Cedar is quite special and everywhere you look there are hydrangea and roses coloring the season. It is also a time when many choose to reserve the Tupa, our outdoor structure, for lunch with friends or an outing for a book club.
Stay in touch, we are following the state guidelines for Covid-19.
Oleana celebrated 25 years of producing their awarding winning sweaters and knitwear in Bergen, Norway. I have been fortunate to work with Oleana for more then 20 of those years and I have the highest admiration for their quality and ethics.
The program was planned by Oleana founders, Kolbjorn Valestand and Signe Aarhus and was a reflection of their values and artistic interests. The show began with a J.S. Back Suite and dance. It was followed by a welcome from Kolbjorn. There were many highlights, but the comments I heard most were about the performance by Utla, a trio of percussion, Hardanger violin and an tenor sax.
The grand Finale was a performance by Fargespill, a group of 100 children from Bergen, wearing the folk costumes from the 35 countries they represent, including Norway. This truly brought the house down, with smiles and tears on everyone’s face. If you visit the Chalet, we will have the film of the event for you to watch.
We have had a lot of fun gathering all the pieces you will need to really “Hygge”. You will find cozy blankets, candles, Scandinavian cookbooks, chocolate and teas to make your home and life warm and inviting. Caring for the environment is important, so there are many natural products that function well and are earth friendly.
