I love treasure hunting. Going to different second hand shops and flea markets to see if we can find some treasures. Now a treasure for me may be rubbish for you, but that is the charm with it!

This page is from one of those hunting day me, my sister, brother and cousin had a few month ago. We went to a huge, HUGE, flea market hosted by the local soccer club. We had a really fun day and I did find some treasures! You can read and see more photos in this blogpost

Here today I thought I would share my treasure-hunting TN. I started this notebook as a fun idea, to record the treasures I find at second hand and flea markets. I like the idea of documenting something small and seemingly unimportant. I think this would be really fun to do for gardening, cooking, knitting or anything that you like, something small that makes you happy. 

Those things are worth to document.

The book is made with thin patterned paper and just adding photos, (printed on cardstock), washi and some stickers makes it really fun but without much fuss.

Yesterday my sister, brother and I took a trip after tennis. There is this house, not far from us, Gärdhem. It's a huge house and filled with treasures. It's open Saturdays and always lots of peoples but also, lots os bargains.  But we started at my favorit shop in town, 

Emaus

Total spending: 90kr 

(included was 2 Donald Duck pockets, a gift for poor little brother for taging along) 

I see this mint bike basket and had to have it! 

Bike basket: 30kr

(I washed it and striped the plastic ribbons of it, look so pretty now!) 

 i have decided not to buy a tea/coffee service for when moving out, but collect old odd ones. At Emaus I found these pretty 4 for 10kr each.

 4 cups and saucers: 40kr 

 Gärdhem

We got there just an hour before closing but that didn't stop us from finding some good deals! 

Total spending: 110kr

I found a few of these embroidery sets, they are really tiny, comes with everything you need (apart from scissor) I got a cow and a house

2 embroidery sets: 20kr 

 I love the sewing counter and found 10 yarns and 2 hoops! I have searched for this wood kind but so hard to find! I love the color of the yarns, so summery. 

2 embroidery hoops: 30kr

10 embroidery yarns: 50kr 

 And a new typewriter...

I already have 2, one that doesn't work and one the is rather faint. This little guy however is really tiny and has a very nice ribbon. I'm so happy to have found a smaller one and the price was perfect! It's easy to handle, even on my desk, the other one is way to heavy for me and takes up so much space! 

1 typewriter: 30kr

 Coming home, W inspects the treasures and even she is happy about the typewriter! 

 Last night I made my little cow, not very good and not following instructions, but I think she is rather cute. However I think for my house, I might split the yarn to 3, here I used the full, 6. (With fram it's 3"x4"). 

We had a great time and I love these outings, searching after pretty stuff others don't want. For just 200kr I think I got some really fun things that I know I will use!

In my town we have a number of secondhand stores, some have good stuff and some just have... well crap. But my favorit, Emmaus, has a great store, well organised and lots of kitchen things (YAY!). So when ever I'm near and have some time, I pop in. So that is what I did this week while waiting for my brother to get out of school. I got three thing that I'm so happy about!

 No judgement, but I have started to buy these white horses and I love them. 

So I'm secretly 80...

 Something more useful is this light-blue tin/flowerpot. It is one big with three smaller tins whit in. I think this will be perfect to have on my desk for roller-stamps and washi.

 And then I found this! It's a pretty glass cake-stand. I love glass, and cake. If there is something that I actually want to collect, it's cake-stands! and teapots... 

I love "finding"  things that others no longer love, and what I pay for them is 1, very cheap and 2, it goes to charity. These this coat in total; 100 SEK, a real bargain!
