Goodbye for a while

Saint Stephen's Day.
The day we had to leave the country home and return home in Helsinki. This time the weather was good and broader road chosen. Real Christmas is over, but we continue the Christmas season still a week or two.

Traditionally the Feast of Saint Knut, 'twentieth-day Christmas',  'Nuutinpäivä' in Finnish, was celebrated as the end of the Christmas season. Christmas trees were taken down and the candies and cookies that decorated the tree eaten. The festive is today kept alive only in some areas of Finland. The day still exist in Sweden and Finland on 13 January. So there still is Christmas left:)

In the picture there's an about two hundred years old Swedish brand bowl (later Finnish brand) we found in an antique store last summer, a needle felted heart by me, a modern led candle and a tablecloth from the 60s or 70s sewed by my mother.
