Advent 1st. My favorite season of the year. Time to light the first candle and start the count down to the holiday season.
My mother and I went into town this morning to visit the Christmas Fair at Skansen. Not great weather but we decided to go anyway. First stop at the glassworks where they made little Santas today. So pretty but so expensive. We treated ourselves a small handmade angel – you got a good deal if you bought two. And I love the angel – it is decorating my living room now. Sitting on a small light to show her off a bit.
My mom and I had a great day strolling around chatting and looking at hand crafted things, locally produced food and being surrounded by the Christmas spirit. We had a waffle for lunch with goats cheese, figs, honey and nuts. Yum! On our way home we took the café-tram back and had a small treat and tea/soda. Lovely.
Have a great Advent 1st!
– as I see it..
