This is a handmade soap with seasalt
and mint. This things, and we mean naturald things, are becoming more
and more popular in Estonia. This is just one example. Behind us is
Lotte, Estonian very own kids cartoon character. It is very popular,
kids really like it. There are even mugs, phones and many other
accessorises wiyh Lotte. It's even translated to other languages.
We are in chocolate sandwich! They have they'r very own chocolate factory. Yummy! We take some of it with us.
Beside the chocolate they make candies and cakes too. There is little
cafe in old town called Maiasmokk/Sweettooth where you can buy some
delicious sweets. The chocolates and candies are in every shop in
Estonia, so don't worry if you don't make it there. There is also some
shops in malls.
And this is a story of our hostess. We
met her at ravelry.com. There is hint on the picture - she likes to
knit, mostly kid's socks. If you are intrested more take a look to
facebook soojad jalad/warm feet. Handcraft has become more and more
populat in Estonia. And not just knitting - everything handmade is very
precious. We have yarn shops, bead shops (mainly web shops) and shop
that sells things from what you can make your oen candles and creams.
That art was forgotten some time ago (not for all people afcourse) but
has now risen from ashes.
We met a nice estonian lady who wears theyr national costume. It's not
the only one, it depends of the location. She was kind enought to keep
us company on our way back. Intresting thing about estonian women -
since they are so beautifyl, men around the world are looking for them,
from USA, india and so on. Some ladies our hostess knows are married to
foreign man, most of them moved away from Estonia. So this was Tallinn,
Estonia. There is also a zoo and botanical garden and other nice places
in Tallinn, but we leave it for the next time. Acually, if we visit
Estonia again some day, we should visit country side , there is lot to
see: lakes, swamps, forrests, plants who are eating insects, witch well
(yes you read it cirrectly), wild animals, national museums how the
life was a long time ago and so on.
