Finnish Independence Day 2017
Constance would like to wish all her Finnish friends and relations, and their friends and relations a Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää – a very Happy Birthday to Finland!!!
Two candles are lit and placed in a window on Finnish Independence Day, as a signal that people would find a safe haven in the house during times of oppression.
Happy 100 years of Independence, Finland! May many candles be lit tonight!

I have read and heard much about Finland. My brother has been there and came away very impressed with the people and their land. As always your photo is lovely.
Thanks very much, Constance loves Finland, and really wished she could have been there for the centennial celebrations…but we enjoyed the day in our own little ways.
