Husmodern 1952

I bought several Husmoderns Köksalmanacka (housewife calendar) from the 50´s and the 60´s when I was out with Nilla on the flea market weekend. I have to say that I don´t agree with the values from the 50´s where the woman were a houswife but I love these books. All the women look so perfect but you keep having Julianne Moore in The Hours in mind. I buy them for the illustrations. But you should see my rhubarb pie that was done by nine this morning (it´s only becuse my puppy wakes up so early and my parents are coming over).

A little inteview with me here.

First of all, the word LOPPIS means flea market. Anyway, we took Tidernas väg most of the times and along that way there were many handpainted signs with the word LOPPIS on it. The best one was in Lottefors. If you go there, stop at Sörens who knows a lot about all the great swedish designers from the 50´s. Then we went to places in Röste, Ismyra, Ockelbo, Kilafors, Ljusdal, Söderhamn, Bollnäs, Gysing etc. In Färila we met Torbjörn who has an antique store, an antiquarian bookshop and an art museum. We stayed over at two wonderful youth hostels that we booked along the way. This one for example.

I´m back and I´ve had a wonderful time. It is really special cruising around on the countryside a bit off-season. You meet so many nice people and they all have so much time! It is a big difference between the city and small villages. Pepole open their stores and flea markets for you even if it is past opening hours and they talk like there is no deadline in the world. Here are som pics from the trip. I´ll get back in the next post with more and some tips where we´ve been. And what I bought!
