Cottages in the Woods 2016

Every year we take a drive out to Geneva for the Cottages in the Woods. This year was ok. I do not thing we will go out there again. We saw some darling Stugas, met Tomte---but there was no Swedish meatball lunch. And get this....I couldn't find one thing to buy. We instead left and went to the Gift Box in downtown Geneva and did some damage there. 

American Daughters of Sweden

This past weekend my mother, daughter and I, attended an American Daughters of Sweden luncheon. It was lovely. It was at the Elks Club in Des Plaines and the food was very good-swedish style. 

If you are interested in joining American Daughters here is the link.
