Meet Gry & Sif

This Easter season, bring a sense of warmth and joy to your home with decor from Gry & Sif! With a combination of 100% natural wool from New Zealand, skilled craftsmanship from Nepali artisans, and harmonious Danish design, Gry & Sif provide a whimsical universe of felted creations.

Beginning in 2001, Gry & Sif set out to partner with Nepali artisans to create adorable, one of a kind pieces of art. Committed to Fair Trade, every bunny, wreath, and flower is produced with high quality natural materials, under good working conditions and fair wages. Every figurine is part of a bigger story, celebrating craftsmanship, providing hope and support for individuals and families,  and investing in the future of Nepal. Gry & Sif provide scholarships every year to the children of their artisans, providing education that will create opportunities for generations to come.

Gry & Sif intend to create greater meaning in the world by making Fair Trade business practices, sustainability, and handmade art into the mainstream. Their greatest mission is to support Nepalese craftsmanship while creating nostalgic, cozy, and timeless felt creations families can cherish for a lifetime.

The felting process starts with raw New Zealand wool, carded until soft and pliable, and then manipulated gently by hand with warm soapy water until the fibers lock together, forming a sturdy felt. The damp wool is stretched and shaped into the desired figure and then left in the hot Nepalese sun to dry. Finally the most detailed steps begin. Each figure and flower is embellished with embroidery and beading, lovingly given individual personality. This handmade charm gives Gry & Sif the unique style that makes these creations so special. After hours of patience and dedication, the results are pieces of art that feel good to place in your home, knowing the integrity in their creation.

Surprise your loved one this Easter with a felt Big Bunny Basket filled with Sweetish treats! Decorate your mantle and entryway with a felt easter egg wreath and felt bunnies and sheep gently holding eggs, flowers, and carrots. Set the table with small and large felt coasters and felt flower bouquets that will last you season after season. These adorable handmade designs will bring your springtime celebrations a Scandinavian sense of simplicity and comfort.

We are proud to offer products from Gry & Sif, knowing the stories of these beautiful pieces of art will continue in the lives and homes of our customers. Thank you for choosing Drøm and Sweetish to fill your Easter baskets with joy and sweetness!
