I get a little more Swedish around the holidays

My dad's family is Swedish and my mom's folks comes from Nairn, Scotland through Prince Edward Island. I love what they've passed on to me from both cultures but I do get particularly Swedish in the winter and around the holidays. Simple tree ornaments are a special love of mine and Swedes do it so well. Here are some sweet ones you can make, buy or just admire that seem influenced by Scandinavian design.


My special friends at Beehive Kitchenware have a
wonderful assortment of ornaments.
