I'm so sorry to have been gone for so long. First one of our hard drives crashed leaving us computer-less. Then we had to wait for the new one to arrive in the mail. My husband tinkered and laboured into the wee hours of the night but something still wasn't right. A few trips downtown to the computer shop and many kroner lighter, we now have nearly a brand new computer and I am finally back again...
With photos of my new gorgeous vintage laces.
When mom was here recently I was so busy with her I didn't even have time to show you the wonderful flea market we went to and where I bought these. Mom and I sorted through a large basket of laces, vintage and every one unique.
The market was bustling that pretty day.
This fleamarket is open Saturday's in Oslo during the summer and offers many fine vintage and antique items.
This seller had a wonderful collection of textiles and small dolls.
I bought these too.
While our computer was down I had a bit of extra time to make things. So I kept myself happily busy sewing some new things for my shop.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
I wish we had flea markets like yours. You always find such lovely stuff.

As always your flea market finds are adorable. I although love the auctions when i´m in sweden. Your lace and doily works are so pretty. So welcome back and enjoy your summer.
Greetings from last days of vaccation in Portugal.

My computer died recently as well and now I have a laptop. Glad yours is working again! The market looks wonderful and the lace is a fabulous find. Are you going to use it on your dolls?
:)

Hey! I love Vestkanttorvet. I am sure you had a wonderful time. The ambience of Frogner on such a summer's day is the closest we can get to the feeling of being in Paris;) Your finds are so pretty! Summery greetings on a grey day ^~^

Emily... I'm so envious of all of the wonderful flea markets you have... or is it just one great big wonderful one?
Looks like you've found some great finds!
How nice to have your mom with you to enjoy it all!
Keep up the good work!
