Alone at the Flea Market

I went to the flea market all by myself Saturday morning. Such a treat, but when there's no one to practice cencorship I drag too much home. These were the best items: Jug, plate, cup and saucer from Stavangerflint "Sera" by Inger Waage, a small bowl from coloured glass. And the cookie tin for the Norwegian 1994 World Cup soccer team, a tournement we haven't been in since. I love their hair, looks like they went crazy with the highlights.

Have a good week! I've started to make cushions from retro fabric. I'll show you very soon!

Thrifted giveaways in bright 70s orange

I'm cleanin' out my recent flea market closet. Will you help me?

One reader wins the vintage plastic set of salt'n pepper and sugar bowl. It's labeled Embee producs Great Britain, and I think it'll look very cool on the camping table. Or add a retro vibe to your kitchen.

Another reader wins the 70s clock from West German factory Baduf. It's working and ticking happily along.

Leave a comment and tell me which one you want! Make sure to leave contact info. I'll draw two random winners on October 15th. If you'd like to follow me here, on Bloglovin', on Twitter or spread the word on your blog or other places, I'll send you some good Arctic vibes too (Am allergic to over-administration, so keeping it simple).

Good luck!

Thrifting At End Of Summer

The Bjorn Wiinblad plate with the August theme is quite rare I think. I like it.



Two lamps I plan to fix up with modern shades. Bye bye Arctic light - the evenings are darker.



The West German vase is ugly in a pretty way (or vice versa), me thinks.



Previous house owners left us with this 60's lamp. Love the blue colour.

We're promised a last desperate summer show off this weekend, before autumn kicks in next week. That means a last desperate barbeque as well.

Note to self: Stock up on rainclothes and fleeze for children. And tea.

Make sure you help other women on Africas Horn. I know I will.

An Amplifier Thrifting Shock

I picked up these amplifiers because I thought I'd for once thrift something that could make Arctic Dad happy as well. I gave ten dollars, returning home to my biggest thrift shock so far: Tandberg Fasett are design icons from 1971! Apparently people must bleed to get hold of a pair.

Will keep them as hidden assets until mortgage rate raises.

I also thrifted a pair of 70s surprisingly bright curtains. When Polar Night arrives they can function as a sun substitute.

Two rolls of 1976 wallpaper from a long gone Norwegian factory came home with me. Maybe suitable for a small wall only..

Lizzie in the UK won the giveaway!

Enjoy your weekend. These flea market finds were shared at Her Library Adventures - flea market finds and Apron Thrift Girl.
