Askim Badet on One of the first sunny days after 6 weeks without any blue sky |
Date night at Vino Tapas |
Pallets of gingerbread cookies and gingerbread house kits.
Christmas lights downtown
Even the natural parts of the area are decked out with ice and red berries.
Steve's windshield one morning... Reminds me of Swedish folk art painting. |
Wild rose hips are everywhere, along with white birch trees. Red & white seems to be a theme for Christmas in general.
Likewise, many of the Swedish Christmas decorations have an unplugged, natural, homespun feel to them.
Berries in vases and clusters of amaryllis hanging in the window at our tennis group lunch.
Real greenery adorning shop windows.
Handstitching motif on a sign for my favorite chocolate bars being on sale. !!!
Straw ornaments, red hearts, and candles.
Woven wooden handcrafts at the Haga Christmas market.
Freshly cut trees ready to be carried home. I don't know if they do cut-your-own here, but this would be convenient for city dwellers.
Real mistletoe! I had never seen it in person before.
Gingerbread houses
Handmade sweets and many artisan goods at the Kronhuset shops.
Bowen loved watching the little train go around and around.
