Took a break from posting for Blue Monday last week. But I am back today with another Dala Horse.
First I need to thank Sally over at Smiling Sally for hosting Blue Monday for us.
That is definitely a big job to do that every week.
Some of you will probably remember my posting my Swedish Dala Horses for a previous Blue Monday. That white one belongs to my daughter and I have returned it to her so she can display it in her apartment.
Well, we also have this big Dala Horse.My parents had this made for us in Lindsborg, Kansas.
It is sitting on the music rack on the piano which can give you an idea of the size of it.
It is more than an inch thick.
It is designed to hang on your porch or someplace outside your front door.
The reverse side has our last name on it.
Currently I have it sitting on the windowsill in the front window with the "Komigen" facing out.
I am not comfortable having our last name facing out.
I bet you can figure out what "Komigen" means.
Happy Blue Monday!!

Update: After reading the comments this morning, a reminder-- this is in Swedish. Swedish Dala Horses would probably mean this in Swedish. Also sound it out and you might get it. A few of you have gotten it already! Picture this, the horse is designed to hang on your porch with your name facing out. So people arriving would see our name. But when leaving our house they would see the "Komigen" side. Hope that helps!!

Good Morning Linnea
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous Dala Horses. Here is my guess, does komigen mean welome?
Happy Blue Monday
Best Wishes

I goggled it, and it says it means, "outlandish." I have a feeling that's not right. I'd guess it means "welcome." Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
What a sweet horse Linnea. I have NO idea what it means either. I love the idea that this was a gifdt from the heart made especially for you. Happy Blue Monday!
How cute! I bet it means "Look how cute I am!" :)
No idea what Komigen means. Is it something German? Please tell. Very cute.
How cute...I've not seen these before. They are so unusual and such a pretty shade of blue.
Hey 'Nea, Golly have I missed visiting you!! Hopefully I will be around a lot more!!
As usual...love your blue Monday!!
How are you? Are your spirits lifted a bit? Hope so, sweet friend.
Have a wonderful week, and remember that you are God's top priority!!
Joyful blessings,
Becky

i would say it means "come again"
if it is something less desirable.
:)
sounds believable to me.
have a great day.

I have the same blue set of three horse and I enjoy them. Of course the Swedish flag also is blue and yellow too.
And I will "come again".

I've never seen horses like these before. I would go with Welcome also. I wouldn't want my name showing either!
Hi, I'd be willing to bet it means come again.....they are really cute.

I love your little blue horses! I use to have a red one. It was given to me as a gift years ago. I wonder what I ever did with it??
