Stockholm #3

what can I say?

Skansen is one of the most photogenic places I have been lately

I just couldn't stop taking pictures

and I cannot stop making combinations of them

so here is a little selection... haha


welcome to Skansen, Djurgarden Stockholm


step back in time ~ look how the volunteers are dressed


all buildings in this outdoor museum were carefully broken down somewhere in Sweden and rebuilt here

inside you will find handcrafts of all sorts


all practiced while you watch and ask them questions


of course some wool and fabric crafts too


amazingly beautiful wallpapers all handpainted of course... sigh


beautiful flowers inside and outside ~ basically everywhere


when you get to Stockholm, you will be surprised about the amount of children you see everywhere
so it is no surprise you see them in Skansen too, as well as their lost ~and found~ pacifiers


oh and I almost forgot to mention that in Skansen you will see all wildlife that lives in Sweden
so this is not a cat ~ smile

I hope you are enjoying this city tour with me
there are some shopping pictures left for a next post...

 love

  11. Again! I got to take my kids to SKansen this summer. HAven't been there in years. My Mom called me Saturday to let me know my brother was getting married. Saturday! AT SKansen. Tehy have a drop in marriage place. They took a number and stood in line to make their vowels and sign the papers. Later tehre will be a big party. Ohh my. This weekend is so full of emotions. Happy, sad, excited, overwhelmed, thrilled, amuzed... You name it. ANother wonderful picture potpurri of yours. Makes me sigh as it is so breathtakingly beautiful!

    Oh, and I am happy to hear you found my shell stitch blanket! It is a great pattern and you will love the smooth motion of making a blanket like that. :D And thanks for comforting words about the puppies... No other solutions than finding new homes though. It is heartbreaking but now I am going outside to play with them as we still got them around for a little bit longer. I just don't understand my landlord. How can she say blank no to these? It just doesn't make sense...
