2 more days till I'm in Sweden!

I'm sooo excited! I know I rarely write, but I just had to say - only two more days until I'm in the Land of the Midnight Sun! I have been so busy preoccupied with other things it just hasn't had time to sink in - until yesterday when I talked to my Mom and she said, we have dinner here this night and the girls (meaning my cousin Bengt's wife, Suzanne, my cousin Ingrid and her daughter Irene) want to take you out for a drink this night and we are going to the glass factories this day, etc., etc. Yikes!!

My old babysitter, Stina, sounds funny because I'm 41, anyway, she sent me a glass catalog so I could shop before I got there. I don't know how I'm going to get my glass home!!

I found these two sites very inspiring if you are in to things Scandinavian...in fact, I can't wait until I have more time to check out all the links from the blog Camilla At Home. The other site is for prefab homes - which sounds weird - but just check it out - Aladomo - click on Home Concepts.

Oh, another cool thing I found was this site, Firecrest Fireplaces. They make masonry heaters. Click on photo gallery and check out the awesome Finnish and Swedish numbers! And, they are right here in Everett, Washington!

I will post my pictures when I get back!
