5. Maypole

Midsummer Eve is the great festival of summer in Sweden. Nature is at its fairest and there is dancing around the Maypole, the symbol of Swedish Midsummer celebrating.
The most prominent symbol of the Midsummer celebration is the Maypole decorated with flowers and leaves. This custom comes from Germany and was introduced into Sweden during the late Middle Ages.

The Maypoles can vary in their appearance. The word “may” has nothing in common with the month of May. “To may” means to decorate with leaves.
To the dominating features of the Maypole decoration in the South of Sweden belong traditionally: birch leaves, cornflowers, ox-eye daisies and poppies, in the Northern part however: crane’s bills, wild chervils and buttercups. If you desire to keep the Maypole fresh for a longer period of time, you should choose the oak leaves instead of those from the birch tree.

It goes without saying that Charlotte Weibull’s Midsummer pole will be the centre of attraction on your dinner table!
An appreciated gift with a framework made of wood and decorated with leaves and flowers made of felt.
