The Flea Market Stuff



I had my dear friend Linda visiting yesterday. It was so good to see after a looong time. After catching up on each others' lives, drinking coffee and eating ice cream, we went to the big recycling center/ flea market, which I live nearby. She found a lots of nice things - lanterns and pillows etc. I found those nice yellow yarns (first photo) - don't know yet what I'm going to make but I loved the color. It's perfect for incoming autumn. 
In that place there is also a small shop U6 - Uusix, there is a lots of nice ideas how to give a new life for all kind of old stuff. Here you you can see some. I bought those magnets (second photo), honey! and enkeli (=angel.)



And then this chair! I just got it. I don't even know from who, but it was left in our staircase and I wrote a note on it, that if they were going to throw it away, I would love to recondition it. And they gave it to me! It was my happy day:) I'm studying upholstering in school so this is going to be a perfect project. I love that chair!
