Chocolate cake baked with jam from our own cherries, my mother's Kentucky cake, buns and the vege soup with archipelago bread, that was on the menu... A week ago we opened our doors and welcomed everyone to Café Cecilia and to learn about traditional way of renovating houses. The best were the visitors! Eager renovators, curious city-people, friends from the island, foreigners wondering if we really live like this.

| August who built our house in early 1870s and his wife Cecilia |
 |
| Our home is usually full of children, books, news papers, dogs on the floor but for this one day we wanted to show our shiny side... |
 |
| We had gathered magazines, articles and books from our home library to study |
 |
| The most lovely china |
 |
| Paints and brushes we like to use |
 |
| The main living-room, now a painter's work shop |
 |
| Veranda waiting for the eager readers |
 |
| In the new sauna-laundry cottage still log and some of the windows waiting |
 |
| Linen, putty, old-fashioned nails... |
Next year again.. This was fun!
