I love the creativity at this time of the year, to look at all the lovely things that creatives and people create.. this special market I passed on the way down the street when I was on my way to another place. The lit up candle out on the street caught my attention, and I read what it says on the print. There’s a christmas market there, only today, on Hökens gata (meaning street). I have been to this place once before on a photo exhibiton, it’s only one big room, or it’s not even that big, it’s rather cozy. It has a feeling of family, care, and “see what we can make”..
I enter and look at some egg cups that are made out of cheramics. Further in there is fudge in three different tastes, whereof one is orange and chocolate, I try that one.. It’s sold in beautiful seethrough cellophane bags. I continue to look at art that is created.. and then I come to a stand where honey is sold, first I’m not thinking of buying any, but the stories this woman tells me are so interesting. She tells me about the nutrition in these rawhoney honeycomb’s, and that they rarely are sold and aren’t sold in the grocery stores, that they hold all these wonderful nutrients.. For me as a photographer I also think about the fun in photographing this.. a bit different than regular honey.. and who doesn’t like sweetness, “Sweet as honey, you get sweet with honey” 😉 hehe.. just kidding..
I talk a bit with the art students, someone has studied at Konstfack, another one is studying there, look at the stickers that are sold.. and yes, I want to create too!
I return to the sweet honeycomb table and ask a few more questions. She says “You just have to try this jam as well, it’s one with plums, lemon and ginger. It’s tasty, delicate. You have to taste this ginger as well, she say’s, but it’s really strong, just so you know. Yes, I say, I like ginger.. it is strong, it tastes very different than the one I drink when I make my own tea on fresh ginger. She adds, well yes, that’s because this one is in vinegar. Ah.. I know there is a thousand things you can do for your own householding, if you learn and try out, those small things that give you that extra spice and la lal lal to your life! Put this one on the to-do list.. ?
