Visit Kallio and you never know what you will find but there is definitely something for everyone be it knitting or rock'n'roll.

Utopia

Tonight our entire café & shop crew will be heading to Monoteatteri to see the Utopia performance, featuring Thomas from Villipuutarha!

Thomas has been extremely busy working at the cafe and heading to rehearsals for the past few months so it will be great to see the final product. Shows run until the 2nd of May, go see!

Spring in the Wintertime

With all that snow outside it's impossible not to be in a Winter wonderland state of mind... but somehow Spring has crept into the Garden..


All of these lovely little reminders of Spring in the deepest time of Winter came from Godetia, the flower shop next door <3

Arla Sauna

After we introduced our Sunday opening hours Sunday Sauna at Arla quickly became a tradition of ours. There is no place I would rather be after a long week of work than at our next door neighbour public sauna Arla.

Arla has served and washed the people of Helsinki since the late 1920s and with the well-perserved deocr of the facilities all of your senses can experience the history of our city. The shower room and massive sauna stove are both rustic and beautiful as well as mildly creepy and, well historical, all at the same time. The ceiling of the sauna room is tainted black and all work-related thoughts vanish while you find different images, shapes and figures in the ceiling..

History aside, at the end of the day you always go home feeling cleaner, softer and more relaxed than you have since (in our case) the week before when we last visited :)

Arla is open wed-sunday, 14-21, Kaarlenkatu 15.

i made this

Tiina Palm's playful and colourful accessories have been added to our shop! Perched on our birdcage are several graceful bird earrings and necklaces from Tiina's I Made This Tender collection, which is described as follows;

"Tender jewelry is
pure handmade aesthetics
for gentle fingers and loving souls.
These delicate creatures with
a heart of metal
and exterior of feathers
need a little love & affection
so please treat them with
extra special care and respect
like you would treat a very dear friend."

Tiina has a blog full of inspiration, promoting all things positive (it really pulls you in.. in a good way! So much to discover) and several different collections under her I Made This label. You can see some great pictures of her Tender collection in this post, as well as some great pics of our cafe and the little birdies in this post! Visit; http://tiinapalm.com/
