    I have the "Ink�plista f�r Julen" from Gult och Bl�tt. If you send
    me your mailstop, I'll mail you a photocopy.  I didn't notice any
    shops for Nashua.  The nearest was Blood Farm in West Groton, I
    think.

You might also be interested in an offering of the European Smoke House
in Arlington Heights.  They are selling both "bone-in" and "Swedish-style"
ham for Christmas.  There located at the corner of Mass. Ave. and Park
Ave.  You can get there from the West by taking Rt. 2 East from Rt. 128.
Exit at "Park Ave. Arlington Hgts", turning Left at the intersection.
Continue past the water tower, then downhill to Mass. Ave. (about 3/4
mile from Rt. 2).  Turn Left at Mass. Ave. and park.

On the same block is "The Chocolate Box," the best chocolate in Boston.
About 1 mile East (towards Cambridge) on Mass. Ave (opposite the Stop
and Shop) is Swensen's bakery, who offer genuine vortlimpa for Christmas.

    Subject: Swedish Shops, Etc., in the U.S.

    I was in NYC and I stopped at the Swedish Church and asked them if they
    knew of Scandinavian stores. There are two in NY area:
    
    Nyborg Nelson, which is a resturant-cafe kind of place, but also sells
    some scandinavian things.  I stopped by, but it was closed.  It didnt
    seem like a pricy place. It also didn't seem like it would have many
    Scandinavian things that you couldn't find in your average supermarket!
    But I didn't look so closely, and I will try it for lunch next time Im
    in the city.  It is located in the Citicorp Building (the one that
    looks like a big 'number-one'). The citicorp building covers the entire
    block between 3rd. Ave. and Lexington, and the 53rd street.  The
    resturant is on the first floor on the southern side of the building,
    to your right as you walk up the 6-7 steps. (Someone who has been there
    said that it was indeed pricey! I conclude, therefore that it is
    probably pricier than it looks!!)
    
    Frederikson Och Johansson, 718-745-5980.  This is supposed to be a food
    distributor and the person at the Church said that they get their Xmass
    food supplies from them. The store is in Brooklyn (?)

    The store in San Diego is at the big shopping area by the waterfront
    near the airport.  It is called 'The scandinavian shop' or something
    like that.  I dont think it has much foodstuff, though.  More handcraft
    and such.  It is a cute little shop.

    I would be surprized if there weren't a store in Minn. that wouldn't
    accept mail order.  Maybe someone living there could come up with some
    info?

    One can also call the Swedish cultural center in NYC, in the same
    building as the consulate.

    By the way, if you are in the city, do stop by the church.  It is a
    beautiful building in a very nice location, a very nice place, with
    friendly people (I guess they prefer it if you have a visible
    connection to sweden or scandinavia (like if you are with someone who
    is from Scandinavia) or you speak it well, but they are friendly
    nonetheless).  You could have real swedish coffee and pastry there (at
    a reasonable price, but of course you should donate some, too) and buy
    postcards (including some nice ones from the NewSweden anniversary last
    year).
    
    This is the address:  Svenska Kyrkan i New York, 5 East 48th St., New
    York, NY 10017.  It is on 48th street between lexington and 5th avenues
    on the Northern face of the block.  There is a Swedish flag.  It is a
    smallish building, two-three stories. And if it is not crowded and you
    get a tour, you may hear about the interesting story that the building
    next-door has 'bought' the air-space above the church (so they could
    have windows there and not be afraid of being blocked if the church
    ever wanted to build more stories!)

    I asked another friend of mine in Boston whether she knew any
    scandinavian shops.  She mentioned Tre Kronor and had their ad faxed:

     Tre Kronor
     Scandinavian Center
     248 Main St.  Farmington, CT 06032
    
     'Fine crystal, dinnerware, woodenware, records, tapes, copper,
     papergoods, jewlry, Christmas room, coffee shop'
     Gift Shop: 203-677-2356
     Food Shop:  203-677-1881
     Clothing&Toys: 203-677-9775
     Mon-Sat. 9:30-5:30,  Nov-Christmas: Sun. 1-5 p.m.

    My friend says that this is an 'excellent' place and that they have
    everything and they will send you their catalog. (But they dont accept
    mailorder!)

    Not a lot of food, but for excellent crafts try Liten Hus in Walker, MN
    (don't have their card with me, so I can't give exact address.  They're
    accessiblie via directory assistance for Walker, though.  Since they're
    in Northeast MN, they have Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish craft items
    (4-seasons hats, etc.).  They supplied some clothes on mail order--we
    were in the store; I don't think they issue a catalog.
    
    For Swedish books and crafts, there is always Lindsborg, Kansas--home
    of one of the 5 historically-Swedish colleges in the USA.  Try Anderson
    Butik, which puts out a very nice catalog.  They have children's books,
    poetry, etc., p� svenska

    two.  Both are stores in Lindsborg, Kansas, which is famous for its
    Swedish heritage and Bethany College.

    I recommend a store/catalog outfit called TOMTEN in Minneapolis.  They
    also are known as SKANDISC (or some other variant of the spelling). 
    You can reach them at 1.800.468.2424.  They are very helpful, have
    regular catalog mailings (if you want) for books, records and other
    general Scandinavian things.

    There is a store on Odengatan between Sveav�gen and Birger Jarlsgatan
    called Gray's where you can get A LOT of REAL American food products.
    The store is devoted to and carries only American foods (well, you
    *might* find a British import or two, but it's rare). They even bake
    their own brownies!

    The address is Odengatan 39, telephone (0)8-612 30 40.
    
    It's pretty expensive - but if you miss something badly I guess it is
    worth to pay the price!
