I look up often, with great purpose and respect for nature.

Growing up in the Northern Maine woods and now residing in the forest in Southern Maine.

Blessed to travel domestically and internationally.

And finally seeing all of John Cariani plays in my local community.

Totally blessed and understand life great ease.

Like the old saying from the 70’s…

And so many may know understand why so many Swedish immigrants to rural Maine, were successful potato farmers, dairy and livestock producers, forestry and outdoor types.

Is it not a surprise to me as tradition came from within. And for that is a beautiful point about immigration and cultural diversity on American soil in 2026.

Skål,

Tomas

Icon without question.

Dalarna, Sverige is rich art, culture, history and beauty.

Traveled to the region repeatedly, met the artisans and saw the various workshops.

The lakes, villages, people and history tells the real story.

Rent a vehicle and embrace it.

Var så god,

Tomas

🇸🇪 Big news from Sweden! ❤️

Our beloved Dala horse just got EU protection! 🎉 Once a little wooden toy carved for children in Dalarna, the Dala horse has a long history rooted in Swedish rural life, where horses stood for strength, loyalty and hard work.

Its big moment came in 1939, when a giant red Dala horse stole the show at the World's Fair in New York. Today, it's one of Sweden's most iconic souvenirs!

Want to meet these little beauties? Head to Nusnäs in Dalarna, where you can watch them being carved and painted by hand, or even paint one yourself!

To our valued clients and visitors, we will have a hiccup in business hours for today, Wednesday, 11/4.

Shop Hours will be regular, from 11 to 5.

However, we will likely have a short (hopefully 30-60 minutes) business closure without notice due to the delivery of goods.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Congratulations to Deb and her beautiful State.

America and The State of New Mexico has spoken.

Time to listen and collaborate has arrived.

Tom

No Native American woman has ever been elected governor of a U.S. state. Tonight New Mexico elected Deb Haaland.

She is a member of the Laguna Pueblo, a 35th-generation New Mexican. Before any office, she was a single mother who sold homemade salsa and worked custodial shifts at her daughter’s preschool to cover tuition, and she has been open about surviving homelessness and getting sober. She chaired the state Democratic Party, the first Native person to lead either party in New Mexico. In 2018 she and Sharice Davids became the first two Native women in Congress. In 2021 she became the first Native American to serve in a presidential Cabinet, running the Interior Department that once ran the boarding schools.

She ran for governor on universal child care and a moratorium on data centers, the two things New Mexicans asked her about most.

New Mexico has now elected three women governors in a row.

Eight years ago, Paulette Jordan in Idaho became the first Native woman a major party ever nominated for governor. She lost. Tonight the door she opened has a governor walking through it.

Congratulations, Governor-elect Haaland.
