Few weeks ago Finnish people celebrated Midsummer (juhannus, as we like to call it) and traditionally people had had different kind of believes of magic happening that night. One of the believes had been that if you look into a fountain at the midnight in the midsummer you can see the reflection of your future groom. So, Ivy wanted to try it this summer.
From an album I have inherited from Karl Fahlström, married to my fathers older sister Gunhild. Karl (Kalle) was born 1891 in Högbo - Sandviken i Gästrikland.
My fathers older sister Gunhild Sohlström married to Karl and her cousin (adopted) Julia Moback at "Bruket" Sandviken Midsummer 1919. Bruket were houses for the workers at Sandvikens Jernverk.

In modern Sweden, Midsummer's Eve and Midsummer's Day (Midsommarafton and Midsommardagen) are celebrated from the eve of the Friday between June 19 - 25. The traditional events include raising and dancing around a huge maypole. Midsummer is one of the only pagan holidays that are still celebrated in Europe (if not the only).
To many Swedes this holiday is seen as a holiday of partying, and as the start of the summer. The cities become almost deserted as most people travel to the country to celebrate. Midsummer rivals Christmas as the most important holiday of the year.

An essential part of Finnish Midsummer celebrations at the cottage is warming a traditional lake or seaside sauna, and enjoying it with several plunges into the water. The bunch of birch twigs is called a 'vihta' or 'vasta', and is self-made out of twigs got from the woods. We use it in the hot sauna, to bash ourselves with. Must sound weird but it gives a lovely aroma into the sauna, and is good for your circulation, not to mention works wonders on itchy mosquito bites that are inevitable in summer cottages. All this is Finnish summer life at its best!
Wow. Checking the date on there, I finished stitching this in 2013. It took me 2 YEARS to find a suitable frame. That's just insane. But I do love the one I found, in the end. Now I just have to get the back on there and I can actually hang it up. . .

Happy Midsummer to you!
Today is the middle of summer, and it's a pagan tradition to celebrate it here in Sweden, with dancing, feasting and song. This year will be calmer for most I suspect. But still, another midsummer and one with sunshine and all my

"It is arguably the most important holiday of the year, and one of the most uniquely Swedish in the way it is celebrated, even if it has been influenced by other countries long ago. The main celebrations take place on the Friday, and the traditional events include raising and dancing around a huge maypole. One typical dance is the frog dance. Before the maypole is raised, greens and flowers are collected and used to cover the entire pole.
Raising and dancing around a maypole (majstång or midsommarstång) is an activity that attracts families and many others. People dancing around the pole listen to traditional music and many wear traditional folk costumes. The year's first potatoes, pickled herring, sour cream, and possibly the first strawberries of the season are on the menu."
