I took these images along the way and after this I found some more nice things so I´ll get back later with that.
Inspiration
First of all, the word LOPPIS means flea market. Anyway, we took Tidernas väg most of the times and along that way there were many handpainted signs with the word LOPPIS on it. The best one was in Lottefors. If you go there, stop at Sörens who knows a lot about all the great swedish designers from the 50´s. Then we went to places in Röste, Ismyra, Ockelbo, Kilafors, Ljusdal, Söderhamn, Bollnäs, Gysing etc. In Färila we met Torbjörn who has an antique store, an antiquarian bookshop and an art museum. We stayed over at two wonderful youth hostels that we booked along the way. This one for example.
I´m back and I´ve had a wonderful time. It is really special cruising around on the countryside a bit off-season. You meet so many nice people and they all have so much time! It is a big difference between the city and small villages. Pepole open their stores and flea markets for you even if it is past opening hours and they talk like there is no deadline in the world. Here are som pics from the trip. I´ll get back in the next post with more and some tips where we´ve been. And what I bought!
