A Swedish Days pop-up in Geneva

Summer has arrived which for me means one pop-up a month. This coming Saturday I will be in Geneva, Illinois with my wares. I love visiting this wonderful town that is abundant with inspiring and delicious small businesses.

I’ll restock my teas and make frequent use of the incense sticks available here. Shari also has a number of household items that are designed to save the planet.

I don’t have a conscious Swedish connection aside from devouring Astrid Lindgren’s books as a child (translated to Dutch). It looks like their music does permeate my life, with ABBA, Europe, Roxette and Ace of Base making it on my pre-iTunes playlists.

I look forward to seeing you on the sidewalk of 212 S 3rd Street in Geneva between 10 am and 8 pm. Rumor has it that the store received a make-over this week, so it will be exciting to see the new layout.
