Today I had the chance to visit the quaint little artisan town of Fiskars. Located in south-eastern Finland, Fiskars is famous for it's scissors, knives and tools which are pretty well known worldwide. My grandparents and I had a walk around the town and visited a couple of the stores. We were pretty unlucky as a lot of the town's stores were closed on a tuesday. One of the definite downsides of living in Finland and visiting small towns is that opening hours of stores are often very haphazard. Nevertheless we visited the Fiskars store, a candle factory outlet and a store selling some very fancy and expensive kitchen knives.

Afternoon coffee and cinnamon roll at Backers Bakery
The cafe's floor was rather pretty.
