Years ago, some friends of my parents (actually, the Gertrude who was in the wedding picture on my blog today) vacationed in Sweden.

It still sits on a shelf in my bedroom.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692541935507155362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-49111876002623814462011-02-15T07:26:22.756-08:002011-02-15T07:26:22.756-08:00They're beautiful!
