So two weekends ago Christian and I decided to take a day trip to the town of Fiskars. Known for being one of the first industrial iron villages in Finland as well as the company who first produced the iconic orange handled scissors you see in stores today. It was a gorgeous spring day and was so nice to have some sunlight, even if it was still a bit chilly. Check out the town's website for more info. http://www.fiskarsvillage.fi/en/
This building was a mill built in 1898 out of slag brick which is a glass-like byproduct of melting iron. |
