Finland - Grandma's Apron and Stool

It was a long awaited moment when the first new potatoes of the season were pulled up.  They were scrubbed clean in cold well water with a stub of a broom.  Boiled potatoes were served with summer butter, salted fish or occasionally with smoke-cured meat.  Grandma's apron and stool in western Finland.
