Latest thrift finds / Map, Tin, Cotton, Pattern


Thought I might show some finds from my lastest thrift shop rummage. Above is a framed old map over the nordic countries (with Latin names). Pretty happy about this one, since we really lack decorations for our walls, and my husband is very fond of maps. Need to hang it still, but our wall is concrete so it's easier said then done.




I also found a small baking tin with a nice triangular pattern, about 3 yards of turquoise cotton fabric for about 20 sek (3 usd) and a nice cape/coat/jacket Burda pattern (paid a measly 10 sek, 1,50 usd, for that one).

It was a good day.

Today and a table



Today i'm going to swing by the fabric shop to buy some black cotton for an experiment with a thrift store find from last week. I'll also leave my really old sewing machine at the sewing machine doctor, if i decide i have the muscle to carry the 12 kg (26.5 pounds) thing all the way there, I'm not so sure..

Until then i leave you a picture I took of a color coordinated table at Karlsjans, all thrift store and flee market finds (Dear Stepmother, correct me if I'm wrong). Good stuff, or "Fint som snus" like us Swedes would say.

Afternoon Tea

Tea tastes best from a nice pot, in nice cups, and with some nice company. And honey.
Both the pot and the cups are thrift store finds.The pot I like because it's the kind genies would live in, if genies where to live in tea pots.

The new sofa!


Tuesday we droped by the local thrift shop. We took about two steps into the shop, and there she was, our new sofa, and two chairs. Perfect condition, teak details. I cant begin to say how happy i am.
The old one we had was old and washed out, but we didn't really have the budget for a new one. This one? About 90 dollars (600 sek) for the sofa and two chairs. HappyHappy.

No we dont have any curtains. All in good time. I just can decide what i want.

I still foresee me owning the Yesterday couch from Mio funiture in the future though.
