In English:

Flowering shoes of old vicarage of Kenkävero.

I translated the Finnish word Kenkävero in English, Shoe tax. Here is brief a Story of the name of Kenkävero.

Kenkävero is old historical vicarage in Mikkeli, by the Lake Saimaa. Distance from the center of Mikkeli is only 1.2 km / 0.74 mi. It offers for a tourist nice place to relax, to eat, to enjoy coffee, shopping local handicrafts, gifts, delicacies, own garden and from time to time happenings. On the opposite of side of the lake (only 400 meters) there is a quarter called Graani which is the most beautiful and modern living area in Mikkeli.

It is very natural that when entering the area, old shoes with flowers greet visitors.

En español:

Zapatos de floración de antigua casa parroquial de Kenkävero.

He traducido la palabra finlandesa Kenkavero en, impuesto de zapato español. Aquí hay una breve Historia del nombre de Kenkavero .

Kenkavero es una antigua vicaría histórica en Mikkeli, por el lago Saimaa. Distancia desde el centro de Mikkeli es sólo 1,2 km / 0.74 mi. Ofrece un buen lugar turístico para relajarse, para comer, para disfrutar de un café, ir de compras de artesanía local, regalos, golosinas, jardín propio y de tiempo en tiempo los acontecimientos. En el lado opuesto del lago (solo 400 metros) hay un barrio llamado Graani que es la zona de vida más bello y moderno en Mikkeli.

Es muy natural que al entrar en la zona, zapatos viejos con flores reciben a los visitantes.

En francais:

Chaussures fleurissantes du ancien presbytère de Kenkävero.

J’ai traduit le mot finnois Kenkavero en français, taxe de chaussures. Voici brièvement la Histoire du nom de Kenkavero .

Kenkavero est un ancien presbytère historique à Mikkeli, près du lac Saimaa. Distance du centre de Mikkeli est à seulement 1,2 km / 0.74 mi. Il dispose d’un bel endroit touristique pour se détendre, manger, prendre un café, des boutiques d’artisanat local, des cadeaux, des friandises, son propre jardin et de temps en temps des événements. A l’opposé du côté du lac (400 mètres), il y a un quart appelé Graani qui est la plus belle et moderne coin à Mikkeli.)

Il est tout à fait naturel que lors de l’entrée de la zone, que les vieilles chaussures avec des fleurs accueillent les visiteurs.

Em português:

Os sapatos florescendo da velha casa paroquial de Kenkävero.

Eu traduzi a palavra finlandesa Kenkavero en portugues, imposto de sapato. Aqui é um breve História do nome de Kenkävero .

Kenkävero é uma velha casa paroquial histórica em Mikkeli, ao lado do lago de Saimaa. A distância do centro de Mikkeli fica apenas 1,2 km / 0.74 mi. Dispõe de um lugar agradável turista para relaxar, para comer, para desfrutar de um café, lojas de artesanato local, presentes, guloseimas, próprio jardim e de vez em quando algumas acontecimentos. No outro lado do lago (só 400 metros) fica um quarteirão chamado Graani que é a área mais bonita e moderna em Mikkeli.

We have something in common this week, Sartenada, but mine don’t flower. 🙂 Such a welcoming sight, walking down the road! I’ve seen the occasional one in garden centres but not in such abundance.
Are you sending us Finnish weather? Not many minutes ago it was gently snowing in my little corner of the north east. 🙂

Adorable and funny at the same time. ^^ There are quite a lot of shoes! It’s a real nice idea, Matti, and what a pleasure to have a look at your photos!
At this occasion I still remember a gardening exhibition here in Hamburg where some trousers (jeans) were planted with colourful flowers and in a private garden red rain boots were used as planting container for chrysanthemum. But I definitely can’t remember such a lot of planted shoes fixed on wooden balustrades … 😉 Great!

Thanks a lot! Wishing you a nice end of the week!

  I am very glad that You loved this post. When we for the first time saw these, my wife said, that if she would have known this idea, then she would have made something similar in our garden (1993-2012). Now I have started to think that I should someday present flowers, which we had in that small flower garden. Thank You for your praising comment.
  
  Happy weekend. Matti.

Hey Matti,
what a great idea to use these old shoes as flower pots 😀
The hay reminds me of my youth, when we played between the haystacks and sometimes we hide in it 🙂 (blog before these one)
Thank you for referring to this link! 🙂
Happy new week, Heidi

  Dancing doll are made by ordinary people which seem to be very skillful
