HEY BIG SPENDER!

Well, the topic sure lie. I only spent £1,70 today.
My man felt sorry for me since I'm in a bad state
at the moment, so he asked if I wanted to take a
short road trip to Hitchin.
We needed to buy a new lawn mower and it was
a sale on at that branch.
While he was buying the lawn mower I went into
New Look who also had a sale on.
I picked up a pair of red heart shaped sunglasses
for only £1!
Afterwards we went to our favorite charity shop
where I found a vintage clutch bag for 20 pence
that had stains from a gold pen, hence the price,
but it came off with some white spirit.
I also found a 1950's bookend for 50 pence.
(Too bad it wasn't a pair.)


Sunglasses, £1.


Clutch purse, 20 pence.


Bookend, 50 pence.

ISN'T IT CUTE?!

I'm not feeling any better but I just couldn't resist posting a
picture of my new favorite handbag that I found in Sweden!
The lady who sold it to me told me this little bag used to be
hers in the late 1950's.
Can you believe it only cost 15 Kr?!
(£1,15/$1,85/€1,35)

FLU

I'm back in England with the worst flu ever.
I can't even sleep in the same bed as my man because
I don't wanna keep him awake with my nasty cough.
I can't wait until get better so I can post some of the
fantastic finds I made in Sweden.

EASY

It's easy to house sit when it's constantly raining.
My cousin wanted help to water her vegetables and
flowers in her garden and maybe mow the lawn if I
had time and the weather was nice.
The weather was finally pretty nice yesterday but
there was no time to mow the lawn at all because we
went for the viewing of the house, ate lunch with my
dad, had coffee and cake with my other cousin, my
aunt was there too, and in the evening we went for a
swim in the lake Vänern with my stepbrother.
Our agenda is so full, I got seven years of catching up
to do with most of my relatives and friends and there's
the first time they meet my man so there's no time to
even watch TV!
I hope today will be a good day after all, in an hour we
are going to my aunt, she's serving fermented herring.
I'm really looking forward to tonight, my best friend
Sandra from college is coming over for dinner.


Vänern.

PICTURESQUE

We found a cute little house!
We're going for a viewing today.
I'm not saying that we're gonna buy it, we're just curious.
It was built back in 1909 and my man say's it's the cutest
house he's ever seen.



The house is 104 sqm and the garden is 3500 sqm(!),
there's also a guest house, two outbuildings and a
root cellar.
It needs a lot of doing to it but it's still very charming.
I love the funky 1960's wall covering in the bathroom.

UNTITLED

Having a fantastic time in Sweden!
Been to more flea markets than I can count to.
Right now I'm house-sitting my cousin's huge house.
Today we're going to even more flea markets and
maybe have a coffee with my other cousin.

GUESS WHO'S COMING FOR DINNER?

Just got an email from Bernie Dexter.
She and her hubby Levi is coming over to our house for
dinner and drinks in a couple of weeks.
They are going to be at the Americana International Show
(Levi's playing) so they're gonna pop in.
Better make sure I've finish renovating by then. *smirk*
