I am still ill with the mystery virus and I am now showing signs of a cold as well. You know, sore troath and aching joints... very lovely!!!
So I am not doing too much, mostly reading and watching tv and being bored out of my witts! And blogging of course. I was reading up on my blogs when I stumbled upon a challenge at
Cathrines Kreative Hjørne. She asked us to show something green, and old, in our home... That was easy for me ;) My whole house is filled with shades of old greens :) So here we go....
My old green scales. These are so popular, mine was found in a garage and belonged to my gran :)
I collect old Figgjo and other Norwegian green dinnerware.
I bought this old tin breadbox for 5nok at last weekends fleamarket :) A Great deal I think :)
A green shoeshine box, and a old worn green stool. The box was bought at ebay, but the stool was rescued from my last job. I switched it with one that was not green :p
More Figgjo... in my window, with flowers :)
I also collect old skyline/nutbrown kitchen utensils. I have quite a few now. But I only collect green and turquoise.
Old green spice jars in tin, with a greenish-turqouise colour. I have quite a few and use them here and there in my decor.
My diningroom, all the chairs are different finds from fleamarkets and then painted in "Lavender" green. Which is an old grayish-green colour. My chandelier is actually new, but was bought white. I painted it green :)
Old Egersund bowls... green of course!
And some more :)
Thats just a small selection :) If you take on the challenge, let me know :) I would love to see your greens ;)
They can be found at:
I suppose fleamarket season is about to end, unfortuantly... but saturday we did manage to find one. And the whole family went. I found an old green tin breadbin, but I havent taken photos of that yet, a few old books, and a german serving plate. I loved the design, and it was beautifully worn too.. .so I picked it up for nearly nothing.
I also got my housewarming gift from Rita & Minki, old family friends of ours, a very old coffee set. Complete for eight, with a cream-jug and a sugarpot too :) I LOVE it. It is a very very pale yellow, white and gold. And it looks amazing with my green figgjo :) Whimsical and fun. Unfortuantly alot of the glaze is crackled, but it is so old it's just to be expected... :) Thank you SO much for this. Ma was so jealous when she saw it :)
Isnt it lovely?
I really do love the way that the sunshine is making my table look so brilliant :)
Roses from my mum :)
A magical night in deed, when the boundaries between our reality and the next is at its most shallow... When mysterious beings and things cross over into our world... And with them might be evil spirits, which is why we need the Jack O'lanterns... :) Or so it used to be... Now we just make them becuase it is just too much fun too pass up... But they used to be very important, so lets not forget that :) And remeber to light candles in all your windows next saturday, to guide your loved ones home. Place a Jack O'lantern on the doorstep to scare away evil doers too ;)
I had my wee cousin over, as well as our ecxhange student and we went to work on the pumpkins...
Didnt they turn out very spooky in deed?!?? The big one is Lilo's, the wee one is Leah's and the middle one that looks confused... well that one is mine... 
There are still more things to be done before my Samhain dinner next weekend :) I am inviting the witchiest women around, as well as one lovable dad :)
I hope you all have a lovely week :) I'll probably be back next weekend.
