matka pohjoiseen.

✻ travelling north.
Jacopo and I spent a week with his grandparents.
we had a beautiful time at their mökki - the traditional finnish summerhouse - then we travelled to Oulu, where Jacopo was born in the very north of Finland.

♡ on the way to the mökki we stopped in Seinäjoki to see Miia.

what you do at a mökki is go to pick up blue berries in the forest, go by boat, do lots of sauna and swimming.
we also took plenty of photographs with my agfa clack and some polaroids SX 70.

♡ it is always so lovely when we see Ukki and Mummi: they are extremely sweet and they gifted us with such useful stuff for the house in Helsinki! - above all a beautiful design carpet.
Thank you Matti and Kyllikki!

Oulu - this polaroid is so special to me because it represents what it could be one of my dream houses of all times... and guess what? it's for sale!
