moderna museet

the exhibition of yayoi kusama was amazing especially if you love polka dots.  as you strolled through the art gallery, you could enter different rooms. one was filled with metal balls.  another room displayed huge red balloons that you could zigzag your way through.  a couple of the rooms were mirrored with polka dots everywhere, it was hypnotizing.  the courtyard too wasn't spared the polka dots!  such a fun exhibition.

while enjoying lunch in the courtyard, a seagull brushed up against me and flew away with my kardemummabulle!

it was such a lovely day, i rode my bike to skeppsholmen island where the art gallery is located... such a nice ride. 

stockholm weekend pics, höstmarknaden på zetas

when we arrived to zetas gardens, it wasn't in a picturesque forest as i had imagined but off a busy street and a stone's throw from ikea.  although the location wasn't ideal for a sunday of exploring, the garden itself was an oasis.  zetas was hosting an autumn market with stalls selling handmade crafts - sheepskin rugs and homey knitwear to the beard calender of hipster swedes, vegetables and gourmet hot dogs too... under cute red and white stripped awnings

we picked up a few house plants, gorgeous garlic - which we later roasted to smear on bread, and chocolate made on fjaderholmarna (here's a post of this picturesque little island).  there was a workshop on binding wreaths, so pretty.

such an inspiring place.  even if you are in no need of plants, come just for the cozy cafe built into the surrounding rockery and take in the atmosphere.
