Can you believe it's snowing again today in Sweden? It's the end of April and it's snowing. I've heard from a very reliable source that this is just the way the weather is in April. Totally unpredictable. So let's not think about this anymore. Let's think about a warmer day last fall, when the flowers were still in bloom, and the vintage/antiquing was fine.
As we were meandering along country roads on our way to the next castle, we happened to pass over hither and yon to find a very large red barn in the distance.
On the side was the word "Antique" or Antik, in Swedish. Who's in? Per asked. The car was stopped. All car doors flew open and out popped the gang to venture into the "old".
As we walked in, Swedish records from the 1940's were playing. It smelled old and it took my eyes a couple of minutes to adjust and then it was as if I was at my grandmother's house.
Old painted chests,oriental carpets, household items,wooden furniture,china,pottery.
Oh….all the things that I love and that are wonderful. They even had a "modern" vintage room with everything from the 60's and 70's. That's when we found the stairs, which would lead us two more flights up, each floor filled with old antique furniture,bathroom items, and……and……fabric. If I ever need to furnish a house, I'm coming here.
Now wasn't that little vintage excursion much better than showing you endless photos of snow in April? Maybe another day we'll do that but for now, let's think sun and warm weather.
Back on Friday ……….oh, before I go, anyone up for revamping a swing set? This one needs some help.
