Happy Friday!
I love to collect vintage costume jewellery. Here are some of my favourites. I'm thinking on wearing the bracelet to a party on Saturday.

The bracelets a find from the flea market in Brussels a few years ago.
The little bow pin is a gift from a friend.
The darling butterfly is also a flea market find but from Stockholm.
The Vitriini  glass box is a gift from mum. Perfect for displaying little gems!

It really doesn't get much sweeter than vintage My Little Ponies!

Sweet flowers in the kitchen! Just love my collection of little soda bottles!

When I was little I used to collect Swedish "bokmärken" - I still have some of my old collection that I can't bear to part with.  These angels are some of my favourites!

I have a thing for beautiful paper and collect all kinds of origami paper.  I found these in a cute little shop in Berlin a couple of years ago, but can't remember the name of the shop.  Wish I could go back and buy some more though!

Christmas is really just around the corner, but I have had just a bit to much going on to fully appreciate this. But I have been using my Christmas edition Moomin mugs a lot to compensate. I just love them!

I have been coveting the Penguin Classics series in hardcover for most of the year now and have finally given in to temptation and bought Emma (more will follow, I'm sure!)  The covers are by Coralie Bickford-Smith and I think they're all gorgeous.

I have a soft spot for paper of almost any kind, especially Japanese origami paper which I hoarde in an old biscuit tin.  Sometimes when I'm feeling creative I start folding cranes and flowers and random sea creatures, but some of these papers are so beautiful that I think I'm going to frame them instead :)

As the squirrel I am, I have quite a few collections. One of my largest ones is my Moomin mugs from Arabia. I really love the Moomin characters in almost any form, but there is something special about these mugs. Every morning I carefully choose a mug to go with my mood when drinking coffee.

Here are the four first mugs in my collection. These ones are from the early 1990s and I got them from my mum.

A little collection of pandas! It seems that I can't resist the little fellows.

Two coasters from China.
Coloured pencils, also from China.
A panda amigurumi that I bought in Chiang Mai a couple of years ago.
A sweet little baby panda from the gift shop in Chiang Mai zoo.
