My Little Life Adventures: Fiskars Village Summer 2014 Exhibition BLURRED LINES

Fiskars village celebrated 365 years from when the company Fiskars, best known for their high quality axes, gardening tools and scissors, was founded in 1649. The village has since turned into an artists' community with a handful of quirky shops and a couple of nice cafes and restaurants. In the summer there is always a major art exhibition which I have visited every summer for the past 5 years. In summer 2014 the exhibition was small yet interesting. I would warmly recommend a visit if you happen to be in the Southern Finland area in the summer. In the winter most of the shops open under Christmas, selling gifts and home decoration items.

Here are some photos from the artworks and the area near Fiskars. These were taken in June 2014.

Fiskars is located in the council of Raasepori, one of the most
beautiful areas in Southern Finland. Stopping for a small break on the way
to the exhibition to enjoy the views of the Finnish countryside
is a good idea.

The Fiskars village with its old buildings - and an old
locomotive, mostly popular among children. I can't miss out the
opportunity for posing here - I've done this since I was a little kid
every time we visited Fiskars.

There is also a glassblowing workshop. They often place their
works on display at the exhibition but visitors can also sign up
for a small trial of glassblowing (additional charges would apply).
