Swedish culture...not my thing

A dear college friend and I met up in Lindsborg, KS (a.k.a. Little Sweden) this weekend for a short girls' getaway. Neither of us had ever been to this small Kansas town, but we were enthusiastic about exploring the Swedish culture. Upon returning, I can tell you that I really appreciated time with my friend and I really appreciated the handful of art galleries and studios in the town, but I do NOT have much appreciation for items of Swedish culture. Perhaps if I learned more I could enjoy the significance of things, but until then, I can say that brightly hand-painted flowers, lacy table coverings, pine furniture, and Dala horses are not for me.
