Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue
Little bits of Finland and anything Finnish around the world, in the past or in the present. If something borrowed is yours and you do not like it in this format, or think it's not properly credited let me know and I will change or delete it.
You probably won't like or be interested in everything I put on this page, but hopefully you'll find a few things or learn something new about Finland.

“The peasants (well not exactly) of Finland differ widely from the Russians in look and dress: they had for the most part fair complexions, and many of them had red hair; they have their beards, wear their hair parted at the top and hanging to a considerable length over their shoulders.”
————— William Coxe
circa 1785
