All my happy tiny things...

Recently I found myself standing in front of my typecase again - starring on it for hours ;D I really adore all these tiny things! They make me so happy and looking at them makes me kind of relaxed, too!!

A mix of things from the flea market, my granny´s treasure chest, leftovers from my childhood and my children´s childhood...

Tiny things made by these fantastic wood carvers of the "Ore mountains" and stuff from the "kinder" surprice egg...

Do you have a typecase, too - And what´s inside?

Have a nice weekend, yours Nicola

Lundby Göteborg/Gothenburg 1975 - Part 3.

Today I´ll show you the Lundbom´s bedroom & livingroom - Enjoy!

The beds are from my childhood (they belonged to the Lundbys before they had the "Blue heaven" bedroom.) All furniture, the carpet, the picture and the alarm clock are Lundby - but I think the lamps are from other companies (any information is welcome). The little perfume bottles are made by Bodo Hennig.

Most of the other furniture and accessoires came with the house, accept the (unknown) kitty on the vanity (she is a fleamarket find) and the bedside table lamp, it was in my stash...

I LOVE this "belling deer" paintig - so very cool and kind of retro-stylish :)

The livingroom was exactly furnished this way when I bought it - It shows a big range of items Lundby showed in the 1975 catalogue some of them as "NEW", like the sofa, armchair, the white glass cabinet & table called "Salon Elegance" (# 9518) and i really adore everything!

Only the little (unknown) bird cage, the phone (unknown) and the frog on the fireplace (kinder surprice egg)  and the TV set (Lisa) aren´t Lundby things.

And look the Lundboms have some cute litte puppies, their boxer Perdita just gave birth to two tiny boxer ladies called "Pippa" & Polly"... And the kids love them!

I hope you liked the 3. part of the house tour :) ?? Yours Nicola

Lundby Göteborg/Gothenburg, 1970 - Part 2.

Today I´ll show you the Lundgren´s bedroom & kitchen:

Greta & Konrad like to travel and have their own sailing yacht! You can see them on the photo on Greta´s nightstand. It was taken on the last journey to the Lake Garda.

I´m very happy with the bedroom, because everything is so cozy & light. I´m absolutely in love with the bedding - the roses are so cool! (If somebody knows if it´s original Lundby please let me know, because I´m not sure). I think they also need a blue carpet...

I also like the kitchen - it was not easy to fix the wall cupboard without leaving marks, but now it works! They still need a wall lamp and some curtains to to put the finishing touches to the room.

Greta doing the dishes...

Do you remember these kitchen calendars printed on towls?! My Mum used to hang them on the wall in the 70s and later we used them as towls until they were totally washed-out.

Credits: All furniture are Lundby, so are the most accessoires. The swan & the little lamp on the vanity are fom my childhood - I think the lamp was inside a grab bag or a bubblegum automate, the same with the clock on Konrad´s nightstand. The frame was a kinder surprise egg gift, but without the photo which is vintage and I don´t know the persons on it... The painting is unknown and shows a lovely montain scene - sorry, the lamp was in the way! The kitchen lamp is Lundby, but I´m not sure with the one in the bedroom - Info´s welcome! The calender is printed on paper and I found it on flickr :) The bottles and some pieces of the dishes are Hennig.

I wish you a nice weekend and a lovely mother´s day!! *Nicola
