Ölands skördefest

Why have I not done this earlier?? That was my exact thought just minutes into our excursion to Ölands skördefest, Konstnatten (Harvest festival – Art night) yesterday. (For more info click on the title above)

Karin, Anita, Erika and I left Nybro around 15.30 pm and I did not get back to Örsjö until 01.30 am. The day was packed with things to do and places to see at Öland. We saw some pumpkins, some more pumpkins and then even some more pumpkins. It was great!
The places we stopped at were: Stora Frö, Eriksöre, Resmo, Gårdby, Bläsinge and Ismanstorps borg. The last stop we made was really cool. We were walking in the dark (at midninght) on a small path in the middle of the woods towards a small coffee shop. The path was narrow and we only had a kerosene lamp. When we got there we ate a bowl of pumkin soup that was delicious.

It was such a cozy atmosphere everywhere and the things that you could buy was just so authentically, artistically handmade and crafted with an indescribable feeling.
At the harvest festival you can buy all kinds of handmade things.
At the market places they sell for example; clothes, food, second hand gadgets of all kind, flowers, herbs and spices, jam etc. On this specific night called “The night of art”, artists will show off their work at small exhibitions to share with people. We saw a lot of cool stuff, and I actually bought my first painting.


Sold!

This is the stuff I bought
