I enter my local Brocante with that bubbly excitement I always feel when I go treasure hunting. Will there be a great find or not? I know pretty much what I am looking for. I always look for vintage blue and white china, cute vases, wood stools, fabric and ribbons, yarn and vintage table cloths, rose paintings, doilies, puzzles, embroidery, small tables, wood chairs, games, baskets... and much more.

I spot the flower painting standing on the floor leaning towards an ugly box with golf balls in. I just had to have it. On my way out I spotted the wood stool tucked in underneath some junky stuff... I pulled it out with some strong force and almost tipped over a whole pile of things (read garbage!!!). Thrilled.

Lucky me. Look at that art work! Everything I love. The wild flowers, the colors, poppies, clover, margaritas, bluebells, aquilegia... The green pot. The depth... I am in love with this painting.
Inspired by this painting I have now collected some Tilda yarn in similar bold colors to make a stool cover for my beat up wood stool treasure. I can't wait to see them both together all dressed up. I am thinking something different for this stool design... We'll see if I can transform my idea into a crochet pattern. I'll show when I'm done.

Kärlek
Annette

  1. Varje gång jag kikar in här så blir jag lika sugen på att tag i virkningen igen, men det blir liksom aldrig något.

    Såg din kommentar om en overlock, förresten. Jag har en. Min bästa vän vid sybordet! :)

  3. Ah, this will be nice, love the painting and the stool.
    Almost everything on my walls is secondhand, just a few done by friends.
