• the cute cross-stitch is a vintage find from the lovely store Under in Stockholm
• the wooden earrings and the pouch are also vintage. I found them in Helsinki in the second hand stores UFF and Fida
Second image:
These are some finds from Stockholm.
• the cute guy on the left followed me home from a shop named Oma, unfortunately I can't find a website
• the book Stockholm's Love Apartments was on my wishlist for a long time and when I saw it at DesignTorget I had to have it :)
• the little purple pencil case on the right is from Ordning & Reda
• the green necklace I found in Helsinki at a antique shop called Vinttikamari
• I love my new tea towel I brought from Stockholm, it's from Almedahls and you can purchase it also online at New House Textiles
These are all from Helsinki:
• the postcards I bought in the Museum of modern art EMMA in Espoo, a city next to Helsinki. The postcards show works by Finnish artist Anu Tuominen. I adore her work. The card on the bottom right shows an installation made out of potholders. I want to start my own collection and display them on my kitchen wall (Mieke & Veronik and Elisabeth were also inspired by her).
• the vintage grey potholder is the first one of my collection. I found it at Fida
• the bird is a brooch by You Complete Me, I bought it on an art and design market in Helsinki
Last photo:
Last but not least I found some fabrics.
• on the left is the fabric Aarre by Maija Louekari for Marimekko
• the fabrics in the middle and on the right are vintage.
I hope you enjoyed my finds. I wish you a great weekend!

Hello!
I follow your blog from time to time thanks to your guest stint at Bloesem this year. I love your eye and just have to thank you for introducing me to Ana Tuominen! Is there a book out that would include her incredible potholder walls? And the "red yellow blue white" work?
Gratefully,
Judith b.
Hi Judith,
Great that you liked Anu's work!
I found some books on her website that introduce her work. But unfortunately I don't know them, so I can't tell if her potholder-installations, or "red yellow blue white" work are included.
And here you can see a little peek into the book "Thinkables". (Scroll down to see it)
I hope that helped!
All the best, Maaret
Your finds are wonderful. I also love to bring back home cute little souvenirs that always remind you that wonderful time you spent at a special place.
hallo maaret,
deine kommentare machen mir immer so viel freude, vielen dank :)
hierzu wollte ich noch meine favourites nennen:
das rote täschchen (purse) und die roten ohrringe; the green beeds (ich weiss immer noch nicht, wie so was auf deutsch heißt ;).. die postkarten von tuominen, die blauen stoffe..
and i totally agree with brit!
lg,
ieva
