I bought myself a fur or leather jacket at a vintage shop in Oslo this Monday. It is style of old fashion and uses material which is not popular anymore. And it is quite heavy. I don't know why I am quite nostalgic for lots of the times. I love old buildings, old fashion lifestyle, ....things with a history behind. As for this piece, the  workmanship is very exquisite and delicate---- very typical old style of tailoring and sewing.

Nordic Grocery 北欧雑貨

The reindeer is very a typical Nordic thing, isn't it?

The first post of 2011 is to my dear friend Sonoko. I love her blog "Sara Smile", which is full of small treasures that brings me big joy. She and her little beautiful girl Sara are living in my dream, and in a country I dream to live ---- " Japan". Nordic Design and Wabi Sabi life style have always been the two top favorite things to me. I know that you like Nordic Grocery 北欧雑貨 as well:). Today, I share with you a few items. You can take a look at my older posts, here, here, here, and here, for a few more 北欧雑貨:) I hope you like it.

Moomin mugs and bowls are Christmas presents which I bought for the girls. We eat rice for most of the time as well:)

A small felt purse as a little Christmas present to Anja from my shop:)
Sorry for a little advertisement here as well:)

Nordic glass plates for flat and dry bread.

A Japanese mug which I bought almost 15 years ago when I lived in Singapore. I know it is a very ordinary one. I like it though because of all the years passing by .
