A northern state of mind. Thursday, May 30, 2013. Readings this weekend for With the Lapps in the High Mountains. This weekend I'm lucky enough to have the pleasure again of talking about Emilie.

Links to this post. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. With the Lapps Event Schedule around Puget Sound. By Emilie Demant Hatt.
