thursday we went to a small artistic town called fiskars about an hour or so from here. on the way there we stopped off to pick some strawberries.

in this town, there is many artist run galleries and shops and museums, some of the stuff was incredibly nice. the whole town/village had such a relaxed athmosphere to it.

two places caught my eye, the first one was an artist who drew pieces that seemed so innocent and warm. usually of one or two childlike characters, or some animals in a summer or winter settings. most of the drawings were amazing and i wanted them all! they did cost about 300€ for the larger ones and 75€ for the smaller ones. more info from here, with a list of works here: [hakemisto].

another place that caught my eye was a shop called onoma, they had a side gallery that had a lot of wooden furniture. some fantastic things in there, some expensive, but some things really affordable (a small kitchen table for 150€).

we did get to the village too late, so we didnt see all of it, i think we’ll go back again soon. (the restraunt there does have the coolest toilets that ive ever seen, we considerded going back afterwards just to have another look. they were like something from an airplane… but cooler and more spacious. really!)
