stockholm and osterbybruk

i bought this cute shirt in stockholm and couldn't wait to wear it
breakfast
pretty drive to osterbybruk
we made it 


pretty much the main reason we went
laif promised his 89 year old aunt Karin he would visit
and we wanted to tag along
no one told her we were coming
and we surprised her in her retirement home
she is the sweetest human
i love her 
and FUNNY!
karin at 15 or so

her wedding at hackas church



i am so grateful to meet her
it was such a special day
i will never forget
she kept saying how full her heart was and how she was full of feelings and it felt like a dream
osterbybruk is the cutest tiny little city









we spotted an antique shop
and went through it as quickly as possible 
and i love the little treasures i got

next we went to gunilla's house for lunch
her little home is so beautiful
and she was so hospitable

traditional dessert made with cow's colostrum 


that's it for sweden
it was such a special trip
really, once in a lifetime to go with michael's parents
we never would have had the same experiences without them
so grateful to all of the sweet relatives who fed us and helped us and dropped everything
to spend time with us
it was magical
ready for london
