My new white sofa (containing two guest beds) arrived yesterday! It was bought here on Gotland at Farbror Fynd (Uncle Bargain) for a very fair price and delivered right into my livingroom. I invited Farbror Fynd and his assistant for a cup of coffee afterwards. The couch was gooddamn heavy! I really had to show them how very pleased I was. When they left I tried the sofa and fell instantly asleep! A good sign on its comfort, indeed! I look forward to a lot of interaction between the sofa and me for many years to come! Zzzzz..
My other bargain I picked up at the "Red Cross friendly second hand store" Kupan, in Visby - a kitchen table and four chairs. Rather ugly most people obviously thought so nobody was interested in buying it. But I did! Sturdy chairs they were and an extra bord for inserting in the table which will enable 8 people to sit around it , was also included. I payed 400 Sw crs (ca 60 dollars) for the set. And a checked table cloth (last picture below) was 30 crs (4 dollars) ..
I had some good material to give the seats a total makeover. This is easy and fun and a rewardingly quick
styling change..

Now, here is my kitchen furniture! Not so bad for a very small amount. It is quite a challenge to go flee marketing! The sky is the limit! Cheers for now -I am off for the sofa with a huge colorful book on home stying by Tricia Guild and a great cup of a lovely Gotland tea called "Kränku."
