Kosta,

This weekend I visited a nice small village called Kosta in southern part of Sweden. It is more than 16 miles from my home. Than makes 160 km because 1 mile in Sweden is 10 km.
Visiting Kosta was very interesting for me, but I must admit, I really liked it. I had once possibility in couple of years ago to visit glassblower in Estonia and it was interesting to see this time how it is. I loved it. I really like glass and products made of glass. Most what Kosta is known are Kosta Boda glassblowing and its designers. A little bit more about Kosta Boda can be read here and more about Kosta Bodas products can be read here and products can also be bought via online shop. In Kosta is also more shops. Information can be found here.
Kosta is a part of Glasriket. More about other places what belongs to Glasriket can be read here.  I must admit, that was just a beginning for me to visit the Glasriket. Already now we are planning to go visit also other places what belongs to Glasriket, because we found it fascinated and absolutely fabulous. It was really interesting and we want to see more. Next visit to Glasriket will be before our wedding, since we want to find a special present for us.

This time in Kosta we visited also some shops. It ended, that we bought home 1 big dish and totally 4 candle holders. Plus we bought some things to kitchen. It felt good, because in the end, we saved quite much compared if we would had bought all those things from the shop. That made my fiancé happy :) And when he is happy, I am happy:P

Those 2 pictures are just a experiment with camera what I made, when I took a picture of my new candle holders by Kosta Boda.

Sunday evening,

It is again Sunday evening and weekend is soon passed. This weekend has been passed somehow very fast, but that means it has been a nice weekend, since in very strange reason time just flies when you have a good time.
As I also wrote on Friday, when in this weekend we did not spend it at home. We had weekend outside in southern part of Sweden. We left Friday afternoon and came back today. It has been very good time. Yesterday we visited also one of the big big place in Glasriket. This time we visited Kosta and all the glass-shops there. It was a very nice and good experience. I liked it. More about my visit to Kosta I will write in another blog entry since I think that it should have it's own entry. Later we went back to our hosts and in the evening we had a fabulous 3-course dinner. I must admit, it tasted very good and gave me idea to try something of it to make self. We will see how the result will come out, since I will share it with you as well my dear readers.
Now I want to wish you all have a nice and relaxed Sunday evening.
