Favorite places | Kretsloppsparken Alelyckan
On Tuesday we paid a visit to one of my favorite places here in Gothenburg. Yes, it is a thrift-store – but the most amazing one I’ve ever been to. They have one huge building where you can find supplies you could probably build several houses with – doors, windows, appliances, the works. Then there is a regular thrift-store with books, and clothes, furniture and all that.
The thriftstore And then, there is the café …
I want to live here! 
And I want one like this! Not for sale. I asked. Figures, it would have been gone a long time ago … 
I cannot stress enough how much I want to live here. 
How cool is this? Just not very useful in a city where it rains so much … 
This part is sort of a little boutique where they sell earrings and bags and whatnot. All handmade. And gorgeous! 
Wheelchair? 
I am dragging pretty much anyone who comes to visit me to this place. 
Yeah, these pix aren’t from Tuesday either. … 
… But although it’s a little late/early for Christmas decoration I still liked the idea. 
Like, a lot. 
They sell used bikes, too. 
Really cool ones, too. 
Took these winter-y pictures when Gesine was here in January. Like I said: I make a lot of people go here with me … Finally some pix from Tuesday – of my purchase, that is. I almost didn’t want to go because I was afraid I would buy too much stuff. Luckily, I got away with 40 SEK (4,80€ | 6.30$).
I just couldn’t resist this enamel beauty.

DIY – Three tier servers
Like I said: I have been obsessed with (making) these three tier servers.
You need:
- 3 plates in different sizes
- 2 candle holders or other appropriate items to stack the plates
- Two-component adhesive
- a pencil to mark where to glue what
The first time I made these I went through a complicated process of figuring out the exact center of each plate and the candle holders. It was time-consuming, and I realized that it was no guarantee for getting everything perfectly centered anyway. So now I am just going with my visual judgment, which works fine, so I recommend you do the same.
To glue the pieces together, follow the instructions of the specific glue you’re using. With the one I used, that meant applying glue on both objects you want to glue together, not just on the one of them. That’s all, now you just need to wait for the glue to do its thing.
Yes, La, you guessed it … 
… this one is for you. This one’s a little more funky:
I use candle holders to stack the plates. 
As always … 
… everything’s thrifted. 
Well, except for the lemons. And the super-glue I use to keep everything from falling apart. Which do you like better – romantic or „funky“?
