Pernilla's Something Swedish is a seller with something for everyone. Jewelry? Check. Candies to kill someone for? Check. Cute little sculpted gnomes? Check. (Really!) She has both an Artfire shop and an Etsy shop, as well as a blog. Some time ago I ordered a gourmet chocolate sample pack and fell in love!

Everything literally melted in my mouth and I hid the package from my husband so he could only have the little tiny nibbles I doled out to him. This stuff was precious. This stuff was gold. The flavors! The variety! The unique combinations! Sigh.... Not only that, but she threw in some extras, including one of the most gorgeous necklaces ever! (Sadly, I wore it to stay the weekend out of town and it got left there and supposedly disappeared. I have my suspicions though- hey, this was a really rad necklace!)

Pennie uses all natural ingredients and offers sugar, gluten and soy free options! She can customize anything to your desires and needs. One of her feedbacks on her Etsy store was so effusive about the sugar free fudge you'd have thought it was a commercial! Pennie has got a loyal army of followers, and I highly encourage you to become one yourself! You will not be disappointed, I guarantee.

Her jewelry is absolutely lovely. I ADORE her tangled ball pieces- truly one of a kind and sure to draw attention. (Ahem- missing necklace- for example!) She does a lot of wire wrapping in her pieces giving them a depth and complexity that I love.

And remember the gnomes?

Told you I wasn't making it up! If you have a gnome fetish like I do- these are just too adorable. What an excellent one of a kind gift for the gnome lover in your life!

Here's my interview with the lovely Pennie herself!

You're originally from Sweden. What did you do there?

Yes, I am sooooo Swedish, lol! :) I did a lot over there, right before I moved to the US, I had my own Beauty Salon. I owned it for about 10 years and I loved my job every single day. I have always been very interestead in "taking good care of ourselves from the inside and out". I belive that it is so important to do.
I also had my own Skin care line. Besides that, I am educated as a special need child care provider, so I have been working with kids in all kinds of different ages and with special needs. I also owned horses, dogs, kats, cows etc, I am a real country girl and I could never deal with not living close to nature and Animals. That is a must in my every day life. I have also trained dogs, including my own a little bit on the side of my other jobs.

Why did you move to the U.S.?

People ask me this all the time, and I always tell the the same, MY HUSBAND, LOL! Yes, it is true, it is because of him that I am here, he is American. I do have a long distant Amarican family on my fathers side. And, my great grand father on my mothers side came here to the US for about 8 years to work. (Long story) lol!


How long have you been making jewelry and yummy candies?

I have been making my Candy and Jewelry for as long as I can remember. I have always been making yummy treats for the family and the same with my Jewelry and crafts. Me and my sister, we use to sell our Creations at craft shows in Sweden all the time. That is a lot of fun. I do that here in the US too, but I sell most of it through My Online Shops.

What or who got you started making your goodies?

Well, I would have to say my mother and my grand mother. They both have always Loved to bake and cook, so I was quick to follow in their foot steps so to speak. I just have such a passion for it all, and I think that it is a must to be passionate about what you are doing if you want it to turn into something Great and Wonderful.


What inspires you?
My Family, My Dear Friends and My Wonderful returning Customers! They inspire me the most. Also, sellers who have been choosing to follow me, those who wishes to make what I make or make something simular to what I have, that makes ME feel very special, and then I know that My very own Design and Creations are something Really special and Awesome!


What's your favorite of your edible treats?

Ohhhhh, Now that is one hard question, LOL! I have sooooo many Favorites, but right now I would have to say My Sugar Free BlueBerry Butter Cookies. :)
Otherwice as I am Swedish, I am Totally in Love with My Black Licorice Fudge and My Swedish Munks.

So run, don't walk to Pernilla's Something Swedish and tell her The Beauty Pirate sent you!
