2. arctic Trend Update
Issue 2 2013
Summer edition | The northern country.
This is the second issue for the year and I hope that it will inspire you.
The journey continues, Still trying to find ourselves in the quest for
answers. The questions are as important, because it is when we start
asking why that we might be one step closer to what really matters?
People, planet, profit are equally important.
2013 has been a great year so far and it feels great to soon start a new
season, but first I want to share with you the summer edition. Enjoy!
Goodbye winter, Hello summer!

11. WE LIKE Second hand ”Loppis” in Luleå.
There are a bunch of Loppis in Swedish Lapland. I love to visit second hand stores, both
when buying clothes, accessories and furniture. It is a great way of finding odd and unique
pieces. Especially during the summer there are interesting yardsales and antique second
hand stores located in villages across Swedish Lapland. In pictures from a favorite Loppis
in Bälinge, a village outside of Luleå. Sandnäsetvägen GPS coordinates 65.641125,

......”When I run through the deep
dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set,
The trees were dead,
And the rivers were none.
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this
place
But there was no sound there was
only me, and my disgrace.”
