Bargain hunting

FRIDAY 23rd of JANUARY 2009

Last Saturday I went bargain hunting with a few good friends. The scene of the crime was Sømmelig in Nordahl Bruns gate - something as rare as a sowing machine cafe & coffee shop in one! In addition to being a design studio and shop selling both hand-made & second-hand stuff for you & your home, they also hold various courses in knitting & sowing here. In other words, it's a pretty cool place.

Basically the flee market was down in the basement, offering an assortment of goods; clothes, textiles, shoes, bags, glasses and stoneware and much, much more. I found quite a lot of material with cool & funky patterns, though didn't buy anything. Figured I need to sort through all the stuff I already got before I start collecting new. However, I did end up buying to tiny china plates with a stripy pattern in turqoise and silver. Very cute.

Below you can see a photo of my second purchase, a pair of second-hand ,white leather peeptoes with a bit of a heel. I probably shouldn't, though couldn't help myself - I fell in love with them as soon as I tried them on. Perfect fit. Can't wait until the weather get's a good deal warmer (snow, snow, snow in Oslo at the moment) so that I can start wearing them. Yeah!

And as most perfect Saturdays (even though I had to go to work that afternoon), it ended with cake & coffe in the company of good friends. Bliss :D
