Charming and Whimsical Figgjo Flint Dishes from Norway

I am really in love with colorful retro items as you all can probably tell! I didn't even know about this particular brand until a few days ago. I'm sad that it took this long to be aware of their existence! A lot of the Figgjo Flint retro dishes are great for summer. There are all kinds of designs ranging from vibrant, floral, to whimsical illustrations of Norwegian life! These are really charming and fun - let's take a look!

I like the little characters sitting back to back on this Turi sugar bowl. It claims it can be used as a mug, but since it doesn't have a handle I wouldn't risk it.

Look at how funky this Figgjo Flint leaf design plate is! All the colors are awesome. The sketchy shapes that make up the illustration are super cool.

I think you would be surprised at how much these two Figgjo Flint skillet pans might come in handy. They are apparently great to use on the stove and in the oven. Plus, the floral design is really groovy.

These retro Figgjo Flint salt and pepper shakers are a fun way to decorate your table, especially if you've been to Oslo. You can see the Oslo City Hall in the background of these shakers - including the waterfront.

I don't think I would ever use these antique egg cups, but I love the design. The colors are great for summertime and are definitely old school.

Can't you see drinking frosty cold milk from these Figgjo Flint Turi design Daisy milk cups? These are really rare and pretty!

In all honesty, I would normally avoid dishes that are olive in color. I surprisingly like this vintage ceramic pitcher. It's really earthy and great for fall and spring. I love the little scene being shown!

The deep dark reds and browns are really cool on this Morocco Figgjo lidded bowl. Is it just me or does the lid have a hypnotic effect?

If you're always in your kitchen, then this Flint Figgjo Turi Designs large ceramic shaker would be an awesome tool! Plus she's really bright and cute!

All of these playful dishes are fun for everyone! I'm so glad I ran into Figgjo flint retro dishes on Etsy. What are your thoughts on these dishes? Would you ever use them? Comment down below!

Take a step into Italy in the 1940's with this classic Vespa clock. The clock shape is so interesting!

10 Gorgeous Colorful Duralex Glasswares from France

You're probably wondering where I store all these things I find! I tend to find all sorts of ways to use all this beautiful dishware, even if it doesn't involve food. I saw these stunning Duralex glasswares from France on Etsy and knew I needed more room. Here are my top ten - look at how colorful they are!

I actually do not have fondue plates in my house. I would love to have a fondue party sometime and use these. Plus, the vibrant orange tone would be a great contrast for my teal home decor!

These 6 green Duralex cups with saucers look very modern. There's something about drinking from glass mugs that seems so fancy too! The true green is a great color for the glass, in my opinion.

Wow! These vintage cobalt blue dessert bowls are absolutely gorgeous. This would be awesome to serve ice cream in for the summer!

I don't know if it's just the way the light hits the glass, but I love how it glows. These retro Duralex style blue glasses would look so fancy by poolside, especially if they glow like they do in the picture.

This is a huge set of dishware that I'm tempted to get. I really love the square shape of this French amber glass serving bowl set.

I would want to have this amethyst Duralex dinnerware set for the fall. There is something comforting about purple decor mixed with the seasonal colors like orange, green, and yellow.

Of course the color of these mid-century Vereco blue bowls appeal to me! It says they are square, but they almost look wavy to me. They're very artsy!

I think that I need more elegant dishes like this mid-century French dishware. The simple sunflower shape make it easy to use for any occasion - even during the holidays.

I don't have any swirls on my cups! These cobalt blue Vereco Duralex glass cups are pretty fun. They almost have an art deco style since they are so geometrical!

This amber vintage dish is supposed to be a tray, but it's so funky! I think it would be better off as home decor, but you could use it for serving if you want to awe your guests.

Aren't these so colorful and glamorous? People sometimes don't understand that vintage items can look modern as well! What do you guys think of these Duralex glasswares from France on Etsy? Comment down below and tell me your thoughts!

Charming Retro Wrapping Paper from Cavallini

I think it's really fun to wrap your gifts in retro wrapping paper. I love the illustrations because they really send me back. It's even better when I get another antique collector an older item and wrap it up in cute wrapping paper. Take a look at the retro wrapping paper from Cavallini on Amazon. It's a great way to give your gift a hair more character.

I know I would be hard pressed to rip open a present with this vintage paper doll wrapping paper. Don't you just want to cut out all the little pieces so you can play with them yourself?

I don't know why I think it would be funny to give one of my tech savvy friends some hardware as a gift and wrap it in this typewriter chart wrapping paper. I love mixing old and new together.

I would get so distracted reading this Les Bicyclettes wrapping paper. Instead of opening the present, you'll get a French bicycle history lesson! (If you can read French!)

I definitely think of my grandmother when I see this Sweet Treats antique wrapping paper. I've seen at least 75% of these desserts at many family gatherings, especially when I was younger!

For the most part, using this retro alphabet wrapping paper to wrap my kid's gifts is for my benefit. I think it's adorable, but I know the kids won't have as much appreciation for history like I do, yet!

Do you have any big events coming up this summer? Give your loved ones a great gift with super awesome retro wrapping paper from Cavallini on Amazon. It's the simple things that really make us smile!
