Soolaleivasiil- Moving House Present
We went to visit our dear Polish friend who had moved into her new flat. As it is a tradition in Estonia to bring salt and bread we decided to make a bread hedgehog. We bought a loaf of nice organic bread and stuck matches to make the spines. Our friend said that in Poland they bring salt and bread to newly married couple. It is interesting how traditions can be similar yet so different at the same time.
When I was a child I heard that in some parts of Russia people give a present of cockroaches in a matchbox when you move house. How lovely is that :D

Hi Linda, How great to see you on Craft Schooling Sunday!
Hope all is well, and thanks so much for sharing your porcupine, he’s just so sweet….and I love that dish towel too! all the best and would love to see you again soon!
Thank you :)
The tea towel is from my favourite shop in England- from Ikea :)
You have Polish friends! how nice to hear that, I’m Polish too :) have a nice day, I like your blog
Thank you! I like your blog too. And yes, we have a lovely Polish friend called Katarzyna :)
armas siilike :)
Aitäh! Päris armas tuli välja :)
We go that in Finland too, but I have never seen one decorated like that! And cockroaches, no thanks…
What about Sweden?
Well, you can make a hedgehog next time you visit somebody who has moved the house:) Makes a difference from just a bread and salt. I know some people cut a hole into hedgehog`s back and pour the salt in it and then cover the hole with bread crust.
I think you have flyttgröt, moving porridge, in Sweden.
