Also contains short footage of our offering of porridge. Happy Yule! 🎄

I wish you all a happy Yule!

Swedish inscription translates: ”This little farmhouse gnome was found by my father the winter of 1866 inside the old barn wall. He was by then already long since deseased.”

Happy New Year! 🎆

“Gnomes represent a very real force in nature. Little children naturally imagine and can become a part of the world of gnomes and fairies, but as they get older the pressures of the outer technological world crowd in so that it can become difficult for them to retain their vision into adult life.”

— Ann Atkin

The elves live behind a large, mossy boulder and come out at night to dance in the moonlight.
The tomte children of the forest are trying to play seesaw with them, but the elves are so light that even though they are eight and the children only two, they don't weight even.
