KissAnne, 15 days ago to home

I'm visiting my mother's childhood #home with my cousin. It's her childhood home as well. Nowadays no one lives here in the winter. #suomimastodon #finland #karjala #karelia #today

This is called Karjalan raanu (#Karelian tapestry). My mother has made it and I have it in my living room's wall (even if my twin sister says it's really old fashioned. I don't care.) It's a traditional heavy woven rug used as a bed cover and a wall textile in #Karelia where I was born. #karjala #finland #suomimastodon
