Absolutely loved this video! We're so alike, sis! We definitely share a passion for antiques... especially tools and boxes! Ellen did a great job on the filming as well. Hugs to you both! ❤
Well, that was a very happy Luisa in this episode. Such great items for sale and a great venue as well. So nice to see these old industrial buildings being used again. An enjoyable viewing. 👍🏼👍🏼
The old industrial building where the market is located is great! And the cupboard (14:17)!!!! Wonderful!!!! 😍 You actually bought the painting with the woodpeckers (and cuckoo, I think)! The woodpeckers have been with me since I've been in Sweden. They have a very special meaning for me .... ❤ The music at the beginning reminded me a little of Satie. A mixture of Gymnopédie and Gnossienne. Thanks for taking me along, I would have loved to have been there live 😉 Dearest greetings, Diane
I love old industrial buildings, especially the ones buildt with tiles. Maybe some day you can visit Finland, now that you dont live that far away. Billnäs i completely swedish speaking too so a good place to practice. Take care Diane!
Snowshoes.... I was surprised that they don't seem common to you? Many families, at least in the 80s when I grew up, knew of someone in their family who had a pair (or had a pair or two in their shed/cabin/grandparents house etc) of these old wooden ones. Those particular shape are called Huron, and there are a few other shapes that were used for certain snow conditions. They are laced with rawhide (hide of an animal that is not tanned). Are snowshoes just a canadian thing, passed from our Indigenous peoples? How on earth did people trek through the snow in Finland? Is that where we get cross country skis? Did your Indigenous people use skis, and ours developed snowshoes?
Very interesting Kimberly? You are actually on to something. I tried to look it up and actually found some information that snowshoes were preferred in North America, skis of different types in Northern Europe and they were invented allready in the stone age.
@savingsiskola ohhh that is interesting! I wonder why snowshoes were preferred over here? I don't know enough about the stone-age Indigenous peoples here, but assume that they had similar snowshoes then. Even in the 80s in Salmon Arm where I grew up, we had a big "cross country ski club" here who was known for their Loppet (big get together and competition)..... but I remember that cross country skiing (even though this were the first skis i had and used into my teens) being quite a stereotypical "Nordic people or Northern European" activity. How interesting!!
It was good to see you buying another hammer for your collection! The poster is gorgeous, and it will look amazing when you put it up.

What was your favourite thing at the antique fair?
AAH! I just heard you say Finland! Obviously I have to come soon!
Finland is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. 🥰
