The plan for today was; to go to watch local horse riding competition and then to do some work. Arrived at the show early enough, but the whole show was already over probably as a result of very small amount of participants. The competition was only for the riders of the local horse club, and due to the weather condition many seem to have canceled. But, no problem when it rains working is fun too..and then later on a jogg in the fresh air with huge amounts of oxygen is going to feel great.

The news for today, we have opened a new store on our facebook pages (currently updating items) and offer 25% opening discount on all of the items found on the facebook store with couponcode "Openingsale" !! Welcome to take a look. :)

Best from Lapland, Lisa

Hello again from Lapland,
Just arrived home from Raahe approximately 1 hour ago. The plan was to stay there till the end of the fair (i.e. about midnight till the dance was over), but no luck with the weather...rain, rain, rain...thus, we ended up packing our stuff before dinner and headed home:). Eventhough, the rain took care of the lack of people we had some fun. Had some fantastic Cafe Latte and KarlFazer choclate (iik..what about the Health Promotion Campaign and the run..hmm, still on it and WILL jogg tommorrow!!:)) and laughed like grazy with my sis trying to count how many people and potential customers we could SEE (mostly on the other side of the street) within an hour (the average result, approximately 0.5) while "selling" in our booth. The end result for the whole day; zero sales, but huge amounts of fun! At this point, some great philosopher might ask, now what is more important...Ughhh, Well, do you know what philosopher, I do not know!! :) But anyway, now after such a "hard" day of work it is time to relax and maybe to watch some TV and then (if time permits:)) finish some work.

We will be adding items also onto our ETSY store so welcome to take a look :).

Back home from Midsummer Festivals and Raahe:). The Midsummer was great, fantastic food, good company and lot of fun. Not really a  traditional one as we did not even see a bond fire, but the event by the sea was good fun... Street dancers, pony rides, good music, tasty food and loads of people, yes would definately do it again.
After the Midsummer party it was time for work. We arrived at Raahe early in the morning and had a great little wooden booth waiting for us to place our items in. The day would have been perfect were there not the other inhabitants in our booth also... arggh! Yep..quite a few of them actually:) It definately kept me busy during the day, running in and out of our booth to avoid stinging. Yes, believe it or not we found three bee nests on the roof on the inside of our booth. We of course(!!) made an "emergency" call to the agency that takes care of the booths and help was soon on the way, at least so we were told. Thank you and well done it arrived well after we had already departed...Now the booth is bee free:) Thanks a lot, yet too late for us!!:) 
Some picks also for you to see. Next time in Raahe at Pekka's Fair  30.6 2012. Warmly welcome! 

 Sis taking a picture of me while I am taking a picture of her...Well, that works:)

 Midsummer eve...

 You could actually do some hoolahooping  also if you wanted to...:)

 The welcoming bee nests on the roof of our booth...ONLY three of them and with inhabitants.

After a months break from blogging I have probably started to get addicted to it :) , thus here I am again.
A great day today. Fantastic local horse riding competition... the sun was shining, people were smiling and of course the most important of all beautiful cute horses all around. Had a great time and just wished that I was taking part...well maybe one of these days! Some pictures from the competition follows and now back to work with the little birdies, doggies, bunnies etc....

Hello again!
