home again

home sweet home! it was good that V still likes the train, she says "i really like in the train to ride". on our first day in There, the first snow came down. it was gone the next morning. we went to bakeries a lot, and checked all the fleamarkets (2 of them were gone, a big one had appeared). V's two cousins from Norway were visiting at the same time, which was nice. i had three amazing moments, too difficult to describe here, but they were, well, amazing. one of them was a William Eggleston moment.



we continued thrifting here today. it was the start of the winter season for us, going to the huge indoors fleamarket. the trip took way too long, but some good things found a new home. first thing: a book called Mirri Manteli. it has semi-wonderful illustrations and a bit weird story, but what a title! and the cover cat is same color as our H. also an eastern european counting book (foxes), some buttons, Finland made violet wool curtains (to be used for anything), a beautiful basket AND an old mattress fabric. one of the first times i met Y, he was wearing pants made by himself of an old mattress. (maybe this last sentence makes some sense into writing my shoppings in such detail?) the third book is from the trip, it is made by the sisters L and I Krohn. my favorite spread. and a cute cute sweater for V. don't know yet if it fits her, she was not cooperating.


i've noticed how V loves this type of horses, so i got this wild-eyed one for her.


another spread from the Krohn book (it's called Vihreä vallankumous (Green revolution)).
