Here is the pastry shop. The interior photographs, for which I did not use a flash, seem glowing and still, like a Vermeer painting.

This was a tea towel in the kitchen of the hardware man's home. I would love to know what it says.

This interpreter is dressed as a Sami woman. She is carving a little wooden spoon. Watching her made me want to learn to whittle.
This interpreter is a homemaker putting the kettle on the stove.
These geese were in front of the schoolhouse.

What an amazing museum!!! It looks like you had a great day! I love the architecture!
Thanks, Lisa! It was a wonderful day. I hope I get to go back some day! I loved it.
Gorgeous photos! I enjoyed the one you had mentioned reminding you of a Vermeer painting, it truly does! I did google translator for the tea towel this is what I came up with...
We are going Koksvagen
Any ideas what that means? I am going to ask my friend who lives in Sweden, now I am curious!
Wow! I would love it if your Swedish friend could translate the tea towel. Thanks for investigating, Gardenmama.

I can't wait to go back to Skansen one day, and explore more of it! Soon I will blog about Junibacken, the children's book museum nearby Skansen.
