I'm being lazy with this post. It has been a terrible week. We were burgled (twice), I failed my third driving test and now my lovely old cat is dying. This is to cheer me up a little.
My last post had some images of 19th century Scandinavian design....this one is a bit more up-to-date!
I am absolutely crazy about Northern European design from the 1950s onwards. In particular textiles and fabric designs. I love the colours and patterns and the whimsical subjects........

| I can't tell you how much I want this salt pot!!! |

| There seems to be a fish thing going on! |

| More fish! |
I think we are getting a really good picture that it is not all stripped floorboards and gingham check! Scandinavian design is vibrant, witty and colourful. I love it!
There are some fantastic sites around where this sort of thing can be bought...but there is also a wealth of modern vintage inspired design such as this....
