One of the things we did in Stockholm was to go the the Christmas market at Skansen If you've read the blog for a few years you'll know we did that once before. That time the place wasn't covered in snow and it wasn't -12, but hey!we coped.
I'll do a proper round up of our visit with photos later on, but here's what we bought.
Quite restrained. The two little 'people' are additions to the Scandinavian Forest we have on the hall window sill at Christmas time and the two boxes contain bars of marzipan. One flavoured with Calvados and one with Irish coffee. Yum! Eagle eyes readers will also spot a skein of yarn. What can I say? It was a lovely colour ( as were the others in the basket), we walked past the stall twice which was one more time than my willpower could stand and it's a beautiful blend of silk, alpaca and merino hand dyed by the woman running the stall. And it was on offer. I'm only amazed I didn't buy more than one.
Impressive restraint! Love the two figures xx
