Kära Ikea...

Jag älskar dig.

Lucy

Today is St. Lucia.

Shortest day of the year.

As a child, my mum and I would always go

to the harbour front and

take advantage of

the Swedish festivities.

Glue and glitter

and decoupage.

Crowns made of

pipe cleaners and felt.

I don't know how

people could assume

I was Swedish, but

as long as I had

my gingerbread cookies

I was happy.
