Welcome
back, to 24 Days of a Baltic Christmas on Femme au Foyer!
The
original countdown in 2014 was a showcase of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian
holiday food, crafts and traditions. Baltic authors such as Zinta Aistars,
Marika Blossfeldt, prof. Guntis Šmidchens and Elga Ozols joined us with Christmas
memories, stories and recipes, while bloggers Marianna, Daina, Tania, Daiva and
Imanta shared family holiday traditions, new and old.
The
focus shifted with 2015’s countdown, which was a guide to creating your very
own Baltic Christmas; from Baltic-inspired crafts to traditional food, the
series was daily inspiration on simple ways and fun crafts to bring a Baltic
Christmas to your home the weeks preceding Christmas. Lelde from Dabas mamma
joined us to make dzijas rombiņi (God’s eyes), Inese from Are You Happy shared the
natural decorations made by her family, and I contributed tutorials for wooden trees and ice lanterns. We
made Pehme piparkook with Pille, the Estonian food writer and author of the
blog NAMI – NAMI: a food blog, and Inga shared her famous pīrāgi recipe.
This
year we have a variety of Baltic authors, bloggers and photographers joining us to bring you 24
days of Lithuanian, Estonian and Latvian-inspired posts, featuring mouthwatering
recipes, beautiful photos of holidays in the Baltics, and a daily dose of
days-leading-up-to-Christmas anticipation!
Please
