Wille and I are back from our little vacation in the southern parts of Sweden, Småland. We stayed with close friends near a town called Moheda. The weather wasn't great but the company was.
We've been there every summer the past four or five years or so and since it's Wille's best friend's family us adults needn't worry too much about the teenagers, they're happy as long as they're fed, treated to the odd afternoon snack, swim and trip to the game shop in the closest larger town.
Us adults are in turn treated to chauffeur driven tours (Thank you Thomas!!!) of the local flea markets and auctions. This year we missed the auction but instead visited several more flea markets. The photos show my loot which I just unpacked and will clean later tonight.
I had decided to try and get a vintage globe for Wille's room and I did. Judging from the countries it's late 40's early 50's.
I try to find fleas with a purpose so a lot of mine are jars and bowls to be used in the kitchen.
Fabrics are also favourite finds. I love the vintage prints and most will probably be turned into pillow covers.
I'm always on the look out for vintage books on style, manners and homemaking and did find a few of those too.
I'll show you some more photos of the house we stayed in tomorrow. Have a great evening!

PS. Sorry about the weird post of yesterday. The photo credits came out strange and I'll try to fix it tonight or tomorrow.
