Vintage steals

Finally the end of Monday!

This is usually an incredibly long day for me, work and school and finally home. I could fall asleep any minute if I wanted to but I though I should share some recent vintage bits and pieces I've picked up around the place. I love shopping vintage and second hand. You can find the most amazing, beautiful, collectables, clothes, furniture, decor, well everything really and the best part about it is that it incredibly affordable. True, you need to dig around a bit more but that's half the fun and when you find that special something you know that you won't be seeing too many other people with the same piece. When I lived in Australia I was reasonably far out of town so didn't spend much time in the city but since moving to Stockholm I've been able to explore the potential alleyways and tiny boutiques can have. I'll have to do some extra research for you all and write a list of the top spots in Stockholm and in Melbourne (The nearest city to home.)

As you know, we're starting to think about beautifying our house and although we shouldn't start with all the small things there were just a few bits and bobs that were a little irresistible and really cheap and that we decided to buy them anyway.



                                           


Every item was under 500kr less than approximately 70 bucks. The small pram is my absolute favourite. The details on it are beautiful  and will make a lovely addition to child's room. We have big plans for it and it was only 380kr. When Rasmus and I found it in a moving sale we just had to buy it. The vase and the cute kettle were bought at a second hand store for 40kr les than 10bucks for both. The kettle is a really unique addition to  our little kitchen and the vase looks good anywhere. The two chairs we bout for 50kr each or 15bucks together. They are worn and fold up so and are just delightfully cute. I was thinking of painting them but the colour is quite nice. I haven't decided whether to use then in the kitchen or out on the balcony both could be perfect. We'll have to wait and see. 

I hope this has encouraged you to start hunting for unique and inexpensive pieces. Enjoy. xxx
