Cheap and chic

My brother gave us some stuff to sell at our flea market. I found a little pinkish vase in one of the boxes and wanted it for myself. As my brother didn't give any advice how to price the objects and I didn't want to decide the price myself I showed the vase to my husband and asked: How much for this? He answered me 2 euros and I said "sold". He wasn't very happy when he realized I wanted the vase for myself but at least the thing wasn't very expensive :)

Carried away

Do you need a small, cute, portable lamp? FollowMe by Marset is just what you ordered. This Spanish delight is surprisingly Finnish in its design. I can see it on any Alvar Aalto table! I myself need one for the cottage to guide gests stylishly through the dark garden in the evening. The pictures were taken in our garden at Vårkulla.

Sunday morning magic

It was a foggy morning today, and it still is. The colours of the flowers look exceptionally bright in this light.

Now in forests near you

We went mushroom hunting yesterday evening and came back with these lovelies. Guess what we'll do in the weekend!

Good ol' days

These photos are from the last weekend. A steam train went by and we had our 50`s shop open for business (flea market). The view from the shop´s door must have been about the same 60 years back.

A bit louder, please

As if we were not loud enough, we have this old megaphone at home. The neighbors must be happy we don't (yet) have neither a microphone or electricity attached to it.

Heart of stone

There are still some flowers at Vårkulla but soon my garden ornaments will be the only eye catchers left. As it has started to rain a bit, I have no excuses not to start creating new flower beds to move plants from the cottage to Vårkulla. I have decided to move most of the late autumn and early spring flowers to Vårkulla as we usually are more at Vårkulla than at the cottage then.
