Jewellery designer
Maud Yngvesson´s connection to silver material occurred by Viking jewelry and fascination for the incredible craftsmanship that you could achieve with simple means. To adorn themselves and make themselves beautiful, is a thing that women have made throughout history. Silver is a soft material that can be shaped. Accuracy of work is important for the result to be of high quality. Creativity is a force at work in which knowledge is passed on from woman to woman in casual forms. She wants to teach the creative feeling and joy that comes from working with silver, and give an intrinsic value in our stressful times. Maud wants the jewelry to convey the joy and beauty and the carrier to feel proud, happy and unique.

Doll Houses
Christine Kainau began collecting dolls for a few years ago. Her interest began when she was really small when she got her first own dollhouse. She has always been interested in miniature objects. Although the renovation of old or broken dollhouses is something that she devotes much time. Now she has a collection of over one hundred pieces. She wants to please others by showing off her doll houses. Soon she will be opening a dollhouse museum with a collection of old/antique dollhouses and other toys from the past. She is also the owner of a playhouse that Sweden's princess, Astrid, Martha and Margaretha had at Fridhem in the early 1900's. This is also on display at the museum.
She is also the proud owner of a playhouse that Sweden's princesses, Astrid, Märtha and Margaretha had at Fridhem in the early 1900's. Even this is on display at the museum.

Old traditions
Christina Vikhed learned a lot about the domestic economy among other things, from her grandmother; to throw away as little as possible. Christina also remembers that her grandmother worked a lot with textiles, sewing on outdated clothing, woven rag rugs, sewed quilts, stuffed stockings and more. Her grandmother's recipe book from the 1800s provides the bulk of anti chlorosis and cancer, how to cook red paint, etc. Personally, Christina studied community ecology and subsistence. She would not go back to the 1800´s, but finds it very interesting to discuss alternative ways of living.
