Made in Sweden

Today we went to Tällberg for the christmas market! I think it was a success! :-D

We got there by bus, just a quick ride of ~60 minutes from Borlänge to Tällberg.

We parked by the big julgran (christmas tree) and went down to the village and started exploring the different shops. All with home-made products – made in Sweden :-)

Some of the girls wanted to paint their own Dalahäst (Dalahorse) after they had seen all the beautifully painted ones that the store sold :-)

Concentration is the key for great details

We had to take a break in painting the horses so we could get something to eat, on the way up to the restaurant there where these stone-babies playing around in someones garden, and Rose :-D

Julglögg, dinner and friends making faces ^,^

 

Ice-skating works even if you don't have any ice-skates on.

Time to finish those Dalahästar and to let the girls know how long it takes for a professional to paint one horse just like they did.

It took the girls about 60 minutes to paint their horse. In the picture below we tell the girls it takes a professionals 1½ minute to paint one horse.

Yes, really. 1½ minute. But you painted your horses beautifully :-)

Time to get back to Borlänge!
