Ötökkä - Bug
Kävin eilen pikkuneidin kanssa kirpparikierroksella ja kun olimme jo lähdössä kotiin, osui silmiini tämä oranssi ötökkä. Siis niin hintalapussa luki: ötökkä. Euron ötökkä ihastutti meidät molemmat ja matkaan lähti. Samoin kuin tuo sininen vanha jakkara.
I went to flea markets yesterday with our daughter and when we were just about to go home I noticed this orange bug. This is what it said in the price tag: bug. One euro bug made us fall in love with it and it went with us. Like did the old blue stool.
Ihanat värit ja hassu ilme tällä itse tehdyllä ötökällä. Eikä nuo ompeleetkaan taida olla ihan täydelliset, mutta ehkä juuri siitäkin syystä tämä ötökkä on niin hellyttävä.
This hand made bug has lovely colors and funny look. And I guess those stitches are not made perfectly, but maybe that is one reason this bug is so adorable.
Myös tämä vanha helmitaulu löytyi muutama päivä sitten kirpparilta ja liittyi toisen, aiemmin kirppikseltä löytämämme taulun seuraan tyttären huoneessa.
Mukavaa sunnuntaita sinulle! Tytär ampaisi jo pihamaalle naapurin pojan kanssa leikkimään ja itse koetan totutella ajatukseen, että kelloja on siirretty tunnilla eteenpäin.
We also found this old abacus from flea market couple of days ago and it joined the older flea market find in our daughters room.
Have a nice Sunday! Our daughter already ran outside to play with our neighbors son and I myself try to adjust to the thought that we moved the clocks forward with one hour.

Vanha puhelin - Old phone
Tanskan matkalta tuli hankittua kaikenlaista hassua. Kuten tämä vanha puhelin, jonka ostimme kirpparilta. Hinta oli hurjat 5 euroa. Pidän puhelimen ilmeestä tosi paljon ja se löysi heti paikkansa työhuoneestani, vanhojen matkalaukkujen päältä.
------------------------------
We bought all sorts of funy things from our trip to Denmark. Like this old phone, that we bought from a local flea market. It cost extravagant 5 euros. I really like it's look and it found a place on top of old hand luggage in my study.

Kirpparilta - From flea market
I found these old plywood boxes or suitcases, or what should I call these...?
They have seen time but I think that was one reason I fell for them.
Leather handles all worn as well as that plywood surface.
Mukavaa alkavaa viikkoa kaikille!
Both of them full of decorating and women'z magazines. My style is getting rougher and roughter all the time. All industrial and old an worn seems to fascinate me in decorating right now.
Have a nice week that is about to start!

Kirpparilöytöjä - Flea market finds
Today a new flea market was opened. We went there with our daughter straight away this morning and wow, there were so many people.

But it was worth going. I got six sets of Arabia coffee cups, cookie cutters in their original box, Iittala and old Arabia dessert bowls, mushrooms and tiny lace clothes, one huge alarm clock and something to read for Christmas Eve, a children's book called Melulylä's Christmas. We must have been a sight, when we got out of the flea market. Our daughter also found something to read and a toy for her dear cat.
Mushrooms and lace lovelies I will need soon, since we have already started Christmas crafts and head is full of new ideas. So Christmas spirit is already here and is only increasing ;-)
Mitä sinä ostit viimeksi kirpputorilta?
And one can never really have too many cookie cutters. I must add, that I don't usually come home with a load like this, but I just couldn't resist. It is so good that I have my own table so that there is some balance.
What you bought from your last flea market visit?

Hitunen punaista - Some red

Here are some photos of our kitchen which has some red look. At the same time you may find out how many flea market finds I have used when decorating our home. Latest purchace is that kitchen rug, which I bought from a flea market yesterday and paid 5 euros for it.
Red-white stool and table cloth are flea market finds. Riviera Maison table is from SisustusSatiini clearence corner.Lintutarjotin on Ikeasta ja vanha sydäntarjotin kirpparilta.
Bird tray is from Ikea and that old heart tray from flea market.Ikean hedelmäkori on kirpparilta, samoin vanha vaaka ja hauska kanakoriste/maljakko. Ison pippurikon löysimme Pariisista ja nuo Iittalan maustepurkit, joista mieheni kanssa tykätään tosi paljon, ovat löytöjä Prisman poistokorista.
Ikea fruit vase is from flea market, like is the old scale and that funny chicken vase. We found that giant pepper mill we from Paris and those Iittala seosoning jars that are our favorites are finds from Prisma clearence rack.Kello ja cucina kyltti ovat kirppareilta, tuo hauska kannu on anopin peruja.
The clock and cucina sign are from flea markets, that funny old pot is from my mother in law.
Punainen leipälaatikkokin on noin vuoden takainen kirppislöytö ;-) Punaista väriä näkyy jo muuallakin kodissamme, kuten olohuoneessamme, josta laitan myös kuvia piakkoin.
This red breadbox is also a flea market find I made about a year ago. Red color shows all around in our home, like in our family room, from where I will post photos soon.

Lisää löytöjä - More finds

Here are the finds from a cottage flea market last week. Old stuff of all sorts.

Tänään meille tulee vieraita kaukaa USA:sta. Tyttären paras kaveri ja hänen perheensä. On kyllä ihanaa nähdä heitä pitkästä aikaa. Oikein hyvää viikonloppua kaikille!
And this old window, with all glass unharmed. Lovely!!!
Today we will have guests from U.S. Our daughters best friend and her family. It is so nice to see them. Have a nice weekend!
