Désolée pour le manque de mises à jour ici ces derniers jours... J'ai passé la plupart de mon temps à faire quelque chose que j'adore faire en Suède l'été: visiter les brocantes, les ventes-débarras et surtout les ventes aux enchères! En général, les ventes aux enchères ont lieu à la campagne, dans le jardin d'une maison ancienne ou d'une ferme. Dans une ambiance décontractée, on pique-nique avec du café, des gâteaux et des hotdogs pendant que le commissaire-priseur met en vente d'à peu près tout, de l'objet basique du quotidien aux antiquités. Etant donné qu'il n'y a pas de prix de réserve, on peut parfois faire de très bonnes affaires! Et, surprise surprise, mes achats cette semaine dépassent largement mes besoins et la taille de mes valises... :) Je vous montrerai mes trouvailles plus tard, en attendant, quelques photos Instagram de ces ventes.
Sorry about the lack of updates here these last days... I've spent most of my time doing something that I love doing in Sweden in summer: visiting flea markets, garage sales and most of all auctions! The auctions are in general held in the country side, in the garden of an old house or farm. It's pretty relaxed and while people are having a picnic with coffee, cookies and hotdogs, the auctioneer will sell out just about anything from basic homeware to antiques. There is no reserve price so with a bit of luck you can make really good deals! And, surprise surprise, I have bought a lot more this week than I need or will be able to bring back home in my suitcase... :) I'll show you my findings later, meanwhile, a few Instagram photos from the auctions.
