Friday My Town: Things That Look Like Faces

I’ve not been out with the camera this week, and to be honest I haven’t had the FMTSO theme in mind at all. Until today… and today I have not been out. I’ve been baking. Swedish saffron buns called “lussekatter” – “Lucia cats”, which belong in our Advent traditions. 

So I made these two specially for you.

They may look more like squirrels than cats, but at least I tried!

The more traditional shape is like those on the right, below:

The last time I was out with the camera was last Friday, and then I went looking in shop windows…

Found some electric candlesticks with faces:

There’s a very light first snowfall going on outside my windows as I write – a very thin layer of white powdering the ground.

Happy 1st Advent weekend, everyone!  / Monica

Friday My Town: Someplace Yummy

In Sweden we like “fika”, which means coffee or tea, usually with something sweet, like cakes or biscuits…
