corner view - souvenirs - stockholm



I am guessing many of the souvenirs sold in Stockholm are bought at Skansen.
Skansen is a open-air museum and there is a zoo as well as a lot of historical buildings from all over Sweden. The souvenirs are mostly iron, wool and wooden craftwork from different parts of Sweden. Personally, I would love a birch bark basket like the one above.

    I especially like the basket too.
    About hot air balloon I do feel the same as you, I love to see them from the ground of my house, I love to hear the blow sound, but I think I wouldn't like to be in one, I am scared in the air!

    We could make a team, because I'd go for the iron and embroidery work instead:)!
