Wish I could make them myself

I'd love to learn to make straw decorations but I am just not patient enough. This one is from a flea market and cost 2 euros...I guess the material would cost me the same if I had decided to try to make one myself...

Just the right red

This red chair was found from our attic - as I already told you, the attic really is a treasure trowe! The chair is covered with paint stains but the pillow covers the worst of it and the red colour is perfect for Christmas.

If you want to read

I love books and have them everywhere. Here is a part of my kitchen book collection.

First advent

It was first advent last Sunday and of course I decorated the whole house for Christmas - only the Christmas tree and flowers are still missing.

I bought pretty number tags from Ikea and I am going to hang a new number every Sunday till Christmas.

The Christmas calendar tells you which day it is (this is from Sunday, I know it is already the 4th)

Judge the book by its covers

We found three more of these 50's crime novels and the collection is complete.

The Finnish cover from 1958 is also great. Especially as I happen to be a green eyed sister myself :)

What else

First we got the type writer, then the globe. There is still room on the dresser for more...maybe some nice old pens or eyeglasses.

Kitchen stuff

I have started collecting enamel kitchenware. These blue and white ones look nice, don't they?
