Think before you drink

This goes for all of you who have wooden tables without any protective surface treatment. As soon as you put your glass on the table, there is an ugly ring. We found fifities' style coasters in Stockholm. There is a blue fish (in picture), a yellow onion, a red beetroot and a green herb. We should have bought two packages to get two of each! I don't think these can be found in Finland. Let me know, if you see them somewhere (or even better, buy me a package).

And more...

I showed some eggs yesterday, here are some more. They look great in glass bowls, don't they?

Bright pastels for Easter

Easter eggs are great, they weight next to nothing so I bought quite a lot of them from Stockholm. This time I fell for bright pastel ones.

Souvenirs from a time long gone

When everybody didn't have a mobile phone with a camera you bought these small pictures in cardboard holders.

Yo, all you squirrels out there

We have always liked squirrels so this lamp was an obvious choice for the living room. We found it at Åhlens on Saturday.

Speed it up!

This old photo is from Portobello road, London. There was this about 80 years old man who had hundreds and hundreds of photos that he himself had taken through the years and he sold them for 50 pences each. He told me that he only managed to stay at his booth for a couple of hours a day and then had to go and rest. I bought a couple of photos for my husband and we finally found a frame for one of them. This one is from 1954 and shows Fangio in his car.

Gin gin!

A little afternoon drink, anyone?
