May 17th - Breakfast

(Just a little information for my family in the States)

This is one of Norway's national costumes called a 'bunad'.
It's worn on special occasions such as holidays, weddings
and especially on the 17th of May.

This is me at a wedding some years back
wearing a bunad called a -Beltestakk- (belt bunad)
from a region in Norway called Telemark.
(where my husbands family is from)

The 17th of May is Norway's National Day.
On May 17, 1814 the constitution was signed that
declared Norway an independent nation.
We hosted a breakfast that morning and
invited some friends.
