Haven´t seen you before here, don´t know if you have got a proper cswelcome before, but there you have it wine

To the topic - I missed a lot of small things from Sweden, but I did not find out I did until I found it on Ikea and a local importer shop. Generally it's things like some spread for the sandwich, a spice-mix or some ingredient for baking, all of it connected to Christmas or similar.

But what I've always missed is the nature up north; the fresh green of the spring, musty dark green of summer, dew and calm of a summer night and the colourful autumns.
