{ My best flea market finds! }

Norwegian Interior Blogs (NIB) have a new challenge on their website this November, and this time they want us to submit pictures of our flea market finds. I love going to flea markets to search for those hidden treasures, so challenge accepted *smile*. I have however still not found those big furniture items that I'm hoping to find yet, but I know they are out there somewhere.
So for now I would like to share with you three of my latest finds that I'm very happy with...
 

( My three best finds: An antler, a wooden Coca Cola crate and an old frame that I have painted )

What are your best flea market finds?

I would love to hear about them, and hopefully I can see a picture of them in the NIB challenge.

Have a great Saturday everyone! I have plans to lay out in the sun this Saturday, if the sun comes out...

{ Rose Bowl Flea Market }

Last Sunday I went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena here in California. This is the biggest flea market I have ever been to and the selection was outstanding! There were actually too much to choose from so I couldn't decide on anything, and went out of there with only two antlers and some scrabble tiles... That means that I have to go back soon!

Oh, my gosh. You would love this place!

Rose Bowl featurures over 2,500 vendors and 15,000 to 20,000 buyers every month, so you have plenty to look at. 

They say that the Rose Bowl Flea Market is one of the most famous markets in the world.

No wonder I liked it :)

So if you're ever in California, you should pay a visit. 

Every 2nd Sunday in the month.
Bring a lot of cash!!!
9AM - 15PM

{ DIY: How to make a trendy frame! }

Some weeks ago I bought this empty old frame at a thrift store. Originally it was in a gold/beige color, but I wanted it to look more trendy, so I painted the frame dark grey.

Empty frames are a really hot nowadays, and they can be quite decorative with old ornaments I think.

What to you think about decorating with empty frames? Do you have any yourself?


Wish you all a creative weekend!


Thank you all for your lovely comments on my bedroom yesterday - you are all so sweet!

{ TINI Vintage }

Some days ago I went to a vintage store called TINI here i Los Angeles, and I have to say that this has to be the most amazing vintage store I ever been too - what a refreshing place!

They have a range of styles, from mid-century modern and retro 60’s to shabby chic and unique art pieces and the store is stuffed with pieces that are unique, interesting, classic, artistic – pieces with personality! So if you're ever in LA, you should pay a visit if you like vintage stores...

 You can find more info about TINI here.
