i was in Estonia for 4 days.as same as my last trip to Sweden, this trip was also short but full of fun.
only 1.5 hours on the boat! easy ride to there, indeed.
spent time with my friend M.
went to an outdoor music festival in the countryside with M, S and other friends who i saw them last time 5 years ago!! great to meet them all!!
staid at M's parents house. her mother made us cottage cheese!! so fresh. ate it with the mother-made berries jam. yum-yummmmm!!
M's mother baked us wonderful cakes, too. sweet of her.
at last, visited M's studio in Tallinn. she also works with glass. she got a great view to the old town!! M took me to some glass suppliers. unfortunately, i could not find the glass sheet that i was hoping to find there. but fund out that glass sheets are less expensive there than in Finland. according to the shop girl, Finnish glass artists often come to buy glass sheets to Estonia. i see, i see.

on saturday we make a fleamarket on the hietalahden market. from early on til 5pm. place number 81. would you come? is my house ready? my house! i am really dreaming now of living in one myself.
how wonderful to possess a collection of glasses. once i have been looking for all kind of different aged mirrors due to a mirror object. i needed one from the 20ties, the best to work with. that way i had to visit a lot of intersting places, like glasstudios, attics, fleamarkets. the search became a part of the object. and i am missing this time.
i will send you an email about saturday.
your "looking for a mirror project" must had been fun.
i am looking for one glass sheet and in tallinn i got know that was made in russia. but they may not make them any more... hope i can find even one sheet!!
