The first Sunday supper..

..in my new home - the old house in the Gotland countryside with this lovely church as its closest neighbour. The photo is snapped from my porch window set with old handblown glasses..
My furniture and personal belongings have not arrived from the mainland yet.
So what do you do if you are expecting guests?
Well,I found an old garden table and placed it in the kitchen and laid the table with stuff I bought at the Red Cross flea market yesterday..I served my favourite squash soup and baked potatoes with seafood mix are served with wine..I am slowly filling my cupboards with food and spices and all the necessities needed in an empty kitchen.
The wrought iron chandelier above was a true bargain as well and it just had to be fixed to the celing and some candles added for this premier occasion!
This is house warming!!
This old clock works quite prefectly on time and tolls with a beautiful, old fashioned strike on the hour! Believe me when I tell you I did not pay more than (equv.to) some 50 dollars for it yesterday! The fleamarket outside Visby where I bought it has a great name: it is called "Uncle Bargain" or "Farbror Fynd" in Swedish! Here you can fulfill most home making needs for a dime! Check it out here!
I fell in love with it, and being a clock freak all my life, I simply could not resist it! It fits well in my old house here on the Gotland countryside
