Summer starts at the summer market - namely the Dots summer market! It starts early in the morning, during which the sun has already risen; a stall and baskets have been set up outside. The best thing about the Dots summer market is that you can pass by or through it on your way to work or on a leisurely summer day - without intending to just stop and take a look at the baskets on display. Our summer market is a wonderful everyday or holiday coincidence that gives a touch of market magic to the city streets!


The Dots summer market is along many roads. On a trip to a friend, it means taking a jar of marmalade anda few other baskets of goodies with you - the ones that are covered on the balcony with glasses of wine as the evening falls. On the way home, a basket from the summer market sits under my arm, and perhaps a few jars of spices , which swing to the door in time with the steps, and spice up the day's meal plans. At the starting point of the cabin trip, you can also pick up some goodies from the summer market: a lantern for the cabin's veranda, a lovely detergent to hand to your mother, or a jute mat on which you can dry your toes after a sauna.


These and many other uncomplicated moments have been made into our summer market, which serves you throughout June 1-30 in front of the stores in Helsinki and Turku. As a monthly benefit for VIP customers in June, all summer market products are -15%, so you should join as a VIP customer at the latest when you go to the market!
5.-10.6 in the shelters of the summer market, you will also love the summer market flea market, where you can make unique clothing finds and realize big and small interior design dreams, because the Dots girls will bring a batch of treasures from our warehouse to the market. During the month of June, there will also be a raffle for a goody basket made of market delicacies, but more on that later! Join our Vip list and follow the Facebook ( Helsinki & Turku ) and Instagram accounts ( Helsinki & Turku ) so you know when you can grab the lucky one!

On your trip, grab the recipe for the wonderful Dots Ice Cocktail, which is created using the classic iced tea formula - the queen of summer drinks! In Dots' kitchen, the flavor world of the cocktail is created with The Spice Tree's aromatic tea bags - we recommend trying at least theNew York tea with mango and lemon notes or theHelsinki tea with passion fruit and lemon notes! Have a wonderful June Bellas, let's raise a toast to it! The instructions make 1 liter of drink, so just the right amount to share in good company.
