Hello Sweden

I recently sold another Messenger Bag from my HM Mills Shop.

It's been a few weeks since I had an international order so I was surprise by the buyer's location: Örebro, Närke Sweden.  While I do know where Sweden is located, the words, Örebro, Närke intrigued me, as I was packing my bag for a long trip.  So what's a girl to do?  I Googled it of course. 


From the friendly folks at Wikipedia:
Närke is a Swedish traditional province, or landskap, situated in Svealand in south central Sweden. It is bordered by Västmanland to the north, Södermanland to the east, Östergötland to the southeast, Västergötland to the southwest, and Värmland to the northwest.
Örebro [œrəˈbruː] is a city, the seat of Örebro Municipality and the capital of Örebro County in Sweden with 107,038 inhabitants in 2010.
