A treasure-barn & Drobak.....

I promised you to show you some of the treasures we found in Norway.

Here you see some beautiful bottles ( like milkbottles, a limonade bottle and a medicine-bottle) and some linen and photographs that we brought home.

On the land where Hanne and her family live there is a huge old wooden barn ... we were asked if we would like to have a look inside and ofcourse we couldn't say no !! Hanne said it was full with old stuff and i LOVE old stuff and especially the stories behind them. So Liv, Hanne's mother-in-law, went with us and told us a lot of stories about the things we saw there!

I could not believe my eyes when i saw what was inside, it was like a museum !! I wil just show a few pictures so you will get an idea!

We saw all old farmhouse-tools, furniture, sledges, a cooking stove in pale blue, ski's, pictures-frames, paintings etc. It was a fantastic experience ! So now you know where i got all my bottles from :)

Later on that day we went all together to Drobak !! A wonderful village near the Oslo-fjord. All the wooden houses are beautiful and the shops also :)

It is obvious what they make in this little "factory"!!

Ofcourse you understand we had to go inside all of those shops ...

In one shop, called Little Dove (pigeon), i bought this soapdish for our kitchen.

This old linen was bought at the fleamarket in Drobak.

When we came home it was fun giving all my treasures a new place in our house ....

The milk-bottles are now for decoration in the kitchen.

Hanne uses the bottles also in daily live.... she put them on the dining-table and fills them with wine or like here with water; great idea, isn't ??

Every day when i look at my "finds" i am enjoying them because they remind me of the wonderful time we had in Norway !!

Till next time,

Janneke.
