I live in Vienna in Austria since twelve years. Every Year the swedes led by the Swedish Church of Vienna organize a Christmas Fair. We do this to raise money for the survival of our church for another year! Since a couple of years I am together with a friend responsible for the sale of decorations here are some pictures of the fair of 2013. Santas, santas and more santas and some other decorations. And I wore my traditional costume of course, you are never as swedish as when you live abroad!
Merry Christmaspreparation everyone!
All of it is so beautiful. Love your traditional costume :)
SvaraRaderaThanks Kim! It is very special to wear this coatume, makes you feel proud of your inheritance.
Raderaoh! OH! someday karin, someday! i hope to go myself! i am so in love with swedish design, the dala horses, and candles, the sweet gnomes ( is that what they are called?) and the pretty blonde girl dolls. i love everything. i really love your costume too, is that a purse attached to your belt? i LOVE that!!
SvaraRaderaThank you Lori! You are very welcome, here in Vienna the fair is always the first sunday of Advent, but I think you should go directly to Sweden in the summer, then it is at its best!
RaderaWell the bag has a Metal clutch and hook into a little loop on my dress, the belt is for the apron!
verkligen svenskt så det förslår! Hoppas det var en lyckad julmarknad! Själv har jag en Tornadräkt... fast jag tror knappt jag går i den längre, den köpte jag när jag var 18 år och smal som en vidja. Numera är jag vare sig 18 eller vidjesmal :-)
SvaraRaderaMin dräkt är från Transtrand i Dalarna, där vi har ett hus! Jag köpte den efter mitt tredje barn;) den är tom lite för stor numer:) Jag ät dock och har aldrig varit vidjesmal!
RaderaHappy birthday!!!
SvaraRaderaBest wishes from California!!
