    Doors with poetry

    Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

    In Finland we have a famous and “branded” poem writer, Tommy Taberman (who is also a member of our parlament). He is famous for his love poetry- and nowadays his poems are used for various products: wine glasses, sheets and even advent calender! From the housing fair I spotted a door with a poem of Tommy Taberman (manufactured by Kaskipuu). These are now for sale here in Finland.

    Is Stonehedge group of saunas?

    Monday, April 7th, 2008

    While visiting the housing fair last weekend I spotted interesting version of saunas. As we all may know Finns are grazy people when it comes to sauna. In the good old times women gave birth to babies in saunas. In the modern times we jus enjoy the 100 degrees of centigrate and then jump into an icy lake and roll in the snow… This new concept of sauna really got my interest. This rock looking sauna is totally movable and in the stove you can also make food like barbecue sausages. Next time when go to ice fishing why not to take your sauna with you? Also, I think that there is a big similarity of this sauna to Stonehedge. Maybe Stonehedge is a goup of Finnish saunas after all ;)
