Look at this wonderful Swedish Light streaming through my kitchen window
I couldn't resist taking a picture
Well what a FAB weekend we have all enjoyed!
Firstly, the wonderful Therese (our Swedish mentor) came for dinner yesterday afternoon with her lovely family. Team effort, myself and Big J cooked a traditional British Sunday dinner, Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings etc, followed by a choice of Apple Crumble or Bannoffee Pie or both!
We had a great afternoon spent with great company.
Therese bought us a wonderful and most thoughtful gift, this delicate potted, Marbacka Geranium/Pelargonium
'Drottning Ingrid'
Queen Ingrid
I haven't been 'Loppis' shopping since before Easter. In my books that's way too long a time!.
SO I definitely made up for it this weekend...

If you hadn't noticed I DO LOVE a tin or two!
OOH and most definitely Gingham TOO!

THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE!!!!
In my opinion this was my best bargain find
the lovliest vintage leather luggage holdall
To take everything HOME in!
Complete with an old hotel left luggage store ticket
I wondered what story this bag has to tell, who it belonged to, where it travelled to...
Well this must be my longest post ever...
I hope you like what I found.
