Så många saker väcker nostalgin till liv, men när jag nu ska finna bilder till detta inlägg blir det genast svårare. Inte många foton finns från mitt barndomshem eller från min älskade mormors hus – tankar och minnen från barndomen finns mest inuti mig själv. Men, så fick jag chansen att besöka en av de riktigt gamla husen i närheten av vår sommarstuga.
Denna lilla stuga är från slutet av 1700-talet och dess interiör värker fram minnen som får ögonen att tåras. Här finns möbler, färger, mönster, prydnadssaker och tidningsställ som påminner om dem vi hade när jag var barn på 50- och 60-talet. Blandat med moderniteter förstås – helt enkelt gott och blandat. Få se om du inte kan känna igen dig lite grand, du också…och kan konstatera att vi vuxit till oss en aning de senaste tvåhundra åren…
So many things can make you nostalgic, but when I am supposed to show something of this in WordPress Nostalgic – I do not have any pictures. My childhood didn’t get much photographed, and when I grew older and bought a camera of my own, we had moved away from where it all started. My grandmother’s house though, was still there for a while.
But, last week I got the opportunity to visit a very old little house (or maybe cottage) some kilometres from our summer house. The owner told me that it was built in the late 18th century and is well kept. Even if it seems to be very low, because people were a great deal shorter in those days, I could stand upright inside.
The cottage is furnished almost the way my childhood house was. I grew up in the fifties and sixties, and recognized many things here, such as colours and patterns, the table, rag-rugs (my grandmother used to make those too), chairs, and the special basket for newspapers… Oh, happy childhood – because I was really fortunate enough to have that. In my memories it will live on as long as I live.

Wonderful .. and cute – like the way they have kept it .. inside. The floral wallpaper I remember very well … even if my home didn’t have it … and the little radio. I guess it will be a bit too low in the ceiling for me .. in the long run, but it’s tempting to have a summer place like this.
I agree. but no worries about the ceiling – it was ok inside.
Very cute for a couple of summer weeks – but I think I stay where I’m *smile

Vad roligt att du fick chansen att göra ett återbesök och så många gamla fina saker där var. I välbevar med. Gillar verkligen att gå omkring och kika på såna här gamla ställen, loppisar mm. Trevlig post!
Tack, Sofia!
What a lovely little cottage! Gives the impression of a doll house with miniature furniture! 🙂
True. I really didn’t think I would be able to stand inside without touching the ceiling…
Den där lilla stugan skulle jag vilja ha som sommarnöje 🙂
Jag skulle inte ha något emot det heller…
That is such a charming home. Rag rugs! I remember them. I would love to live in a little cottage like that.
Me too.
I feel it’s almost contemporary nostalgia Ann Christine ! Love all the flower motifs and brightness .
Really nice set of photos 🙂
Thank you, Poppy! Looking at those pictures and patterns and colours makes me happy!
A wonderful journey back in time. 🙂
It really was.
It must be comforting to see ”the cottage is furnished almost the way my childhood house was.” Beautiful memories!
Very. Memories of a happy childhood are good to have.
Det er bare så skønt med minder og du er da heldig at kunne finde et hus som dette. Superskønt!!!
Tack, Mariane! Du har så rätt – ett fullständigt underbart hus och vilken tur att jag fick gå in! Jag har fotograferat denna stuga under många år, men aldrig erbjudits att få se den inifrån.
What a wonderful cottage! I hope teh owners knew how much it moved you! I loved the yello radio!
I think they did..and the radio is just fabulous – glad you liked it too!
