Sweden is one of the most admirable places I have been in the world. The charm and beauty of this country is like no where else in the world. I am gratified to call Sweden my second home.

| One of the oldest Swedish summer houses, near Gnesta just South West of Stockholm |
I have been a very lucky girl and have been able to see a lot of lovely summer houses in and around Stockholm and in the north of Sweden.
Swedes live their lives to be at their summer houses. They take off 5 weeks if not more in the summer and relax, fish, light candles and drink coffee all day.

| Falu red is most common in Swedish Summer houses use to be used from a copper mine in Falun, Dalarna |
 |
| Nothing is more magical then having Midsummer lunch in the old wood shed |
 |
| Traditional Swedish barn dance |
 |
| After a perfected Midsummer party nothing is better for breakfast then left over Midsummer cake and hot dogs |
 |
| Traditional Swedish sauna, jump in the ice cold sea and hit the hot sauna! |
 |
| Beautiful sea side house in Umeå |
 |
| A cute intamite Swedish Sauna |
 |
| Kiss the fish and let him free |
 |
| A misty beautiful Swedish morning |
 |
| Always Fishing |
 |
| And always drinking coffee |
 |
| Most Swedish families summer houses consist of many little houses surrounding the property |
I wouldn't mind living like this, and hope one day I can have a beautiful summer house in the Stockholm Archipelagos and also sip on coffee all day staring into beautiful candle light.
