I love second-hand stores and the search for cheap beautiful treasures for my home! And I´m lucky to have a great second-hand shop in my neighbourhood where I always find something nice, the prices there are also ridiculously low. What I ´m searching for these days are ceramics and pottery, and I´ve found a lot of beauties lately. Let me share a few of them with you and show you how nice it looks when you mix old treasures with new. I think it´s an great and afforable way to create a cool style + add more personality to the home. You also get unique items which is a good thing these days where everyone has the same products… : )
Photo 1:
– One of my favorite; The tea pot from the Norwegian A/S Egersunds Fayancefabriks Co. (made between 1963-69). What I paid: 25 NOK! ( I also bought a matching cream mug that´s not in the pictures 10 NOK)
– The white little vase (as I have used as a tea light holder) was only 10 NOK
– The tall “bottle” on the table was also only 15 NOK! Perfect as a vase or just a sculpure.
Photo 2/3: Another find are two of these brown cream jugs(?) as I here use as a vase and a sculpure (below). I love its shape and colors! I actually met an old lady in the second-hand store when I bought these, that told me that they are very old. Maybe you have more information about this mug? I would love to know! Price: 15 NOK pr. mug.
Great finds, right?
Do you like second-hand stores? What do you usually look for?

They are beautiful Nina! The bottle in the last photo (the brown one) looks like a Japanese sake bottle to me. They tend to be that size, with “intends” on the sides like this one.
Thank you! And you are right.. It looks like a Japanese sake bottle 🙂
Woow! Navnet på butikken og adresse?
Dette kjøpte jeg på Maritastiftelsen i Mjøndalen 🙂
Dear Nina, it is always interesting to look for unique pieces in second-hand stores. I also really like the lamp and the sidetable on the 3rd picture. Can you tell me which brand they are? Thank you very much for your time. Best regards, Marta
Yes it it 🙂 The furniture are from the Norwegian brand “Ygg&Lyng”. Best, Nina
Such beautiful treasures! And wonderful styling – I love the soft, warm tones and textures
Thank you so much 🙂
Riktigt fint! Varifrån kommer stol och bord?
