Yesterday we visited Haapsalu for the great event Haapsalu Shawl Day 2010.
It was absolutely wonderful time there, lot memories, beautiful seaside, lately renovated Kuursaal and lot of beautiful shawls to see and many nice people to meet!
It was nice to see the Masters, meet my teacher, Master Aime Edasi whom I some years ago learn how to love this traditional art and knit Haapsalu shawls namesake.

I had two of my shawls with me in hope to get them photographed and so we did, it was almost evening but still great lights, without sun but wind from sea- just the kind what makes the stay so romantic and brings up the ages of past and shawls and ….
so, this time I let my shawls show you the Haapsalu and it’s voyage to ages past!
…
The Kuursaal, seaside, railway station museum in-and outdoor (previously railway station)- notice the name Haapsalu at end of platform, the roses, the atmosphere – and the real authentic Haapsalu shawls.
