I wouldn´t know a better way..

..to spend Easter Day than to attend the great auction at Tofta Smagarde in Gotland! This easter Ulf, the popular auctioneer, has collected a number of great items like this old wicker pram, for example. People are now starting gushing in from the mainland eager to be on this beautiful island now decking up for spring..
So I guess the auction will be crowded and prices will raise.
Well..

The items at this auction are collected..
..from Gotland´s old farms and homesteads..
I have decided to place a bid or two on the small writing desk above..
And maybe on this old drop-leaf table that would fit in well in my old farmhouse. Or getting carried away on some other spontaneous bids to cheer the soul after this long, dark Scandinavian winter months..
Anyway, it is a great opportunity to do a bit of "island mingling" and meet great people and to enjoy the homebaked cakes in the little homely cafeteria!
