Things I Like About Sweden, Part 4: Hearts and more hearts

Swedes seem to enjoy making things in the shape of hearts...I'm not sure where this comes from, but luckily they don't overdo it too much or else it'd be tacky. My favorite standard heart-shaped Swedish items are:

Outhouse Doors

and Waffles

Incidentally, last Friday was International Waffle Day, which started out as a religious holiday celebrating the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary ("our lady" = "vår fru"), then got deliciously and blasphemously twisted into "våffla."  Mmmm, thanks Swedes...I'll take a hot heart-shaped waffle with jam over a hard church bench any day.
