Use Magnetic Poster Hangers To Display Your Art!
The Jewish Holiday Season is now officially over in Israel, while folks in the rest of the world are currently celebrating the holiday of Simchat Torah. Packing away the Succah is always a bit sad for me, as I just love the holiday of Succot, especially when celebrated here in Northern Israel, nothing quite like it, truly! I was able to get my famlly to give me a day to take some more photographs before the Succah disappears into boxes, and first I thought I’d share with you an amazing way to simply display your art with no committment. Introducing magnetic poster hangers! I have been aware of this product…

Adorable Mini Torah Scrolls Craft
With the 7 days holiday (here in Israel, 8 elsewhere) ending tonight and the immediate transition into the holiday of Simchat Torah, this might be a craft to keep in mind for next summer, namely to make ahead, as honestly right now, we are still celebrating one holiday and can’t prepare crafts for the next! At the end of the day today we literally move our dining room table out of the Succah and into the house, and continue with the new holiday, which includes a very different schedule due to festive dancing with the sefer Torah in the synagogue, which literally goes on for hours! I am always sad…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! We are now in the middle of the glorious Jewish holiday of Succot, which means 7 days in the succah (eight outside Israel) and lots of time spent with family and friends. A storm and huge gusts of wind toppled many succahs on the second day of the holiday, forcing us to go into our homes for part of the holiday, but now with just 3 days left the sun is out and all is dry! We do not craft or create during the holiday, so while there is yet another holiday, Simchat Torah, coming up immediately after…

The Nordic Museum, Stockholm
There are many museums in Stockholm, and the two that we visited, and I would recommend are the Vasa Museum and the Nordic Museum, which are next to one another and neither require incredible museum patience skills. Okay, I’ll admit, that after the Vasa Museum (which is a museum dedicated to the 1620’s sailing ship Vasa which sunk on its maiden voyage and was recovered from the brakish Stockholm harbor mostly intact in 1961 and now in the museum) my husband chose to wait outside while my daughter and I race walked the Nordic Museum. I took my time in the gift shop though, which is also delightful, so don’t…

Artful Commercial Window Decor In Stockholm
One of the joys of visiting new cities is simply looking and looking and looking. In Stockholm I spotted a number of charming window displays that I thought I’d share with you, as the art of making a statement in a storefront window is something that can truly transform a business, and yet so few establishments actually do it! For starters, look at this lovely window full of fresh oranges at Cafe Schweitzer, truly stunning, and while the Cafe is famous, I only became acquanted with it due to their visual statement, ah yes and the many bags of orange rinds blocking the sidewalk, complete the look and attract attention,…

Lets Explore Stockholm!
The second stop during our 2 plus weeks in Sweden this past summer was Stockholm, a true delight! I loved the architecture and of course the water, and there is even a small kosher food store, as well as a Jewish community. We only had two actual full days to explore the city, so there were many things that we did not have a chance to see, which is always the case with travel! And now I’ve put together a few posts on Stockholm for your armchair travel experience, so sit back and enjoy!
