The week we spent in Stockholm was such an experience that I couldn't resist to share with you some of the best moments.

And good news if you are not able to visit this Nordic gem soon - you don't even have to go there to shop there - most of the cool shops have even cooler webshops!

PINTERESTING - vintage Scandinavian design, Mayor sofa by Arne Jackobsen
Pinterest was a bit strange for me in the very beginning, than I got addicted to it and became fast my main source of inspiration. Time to time there is something which seems to catch my attention more, sometimes I realize to have the same object on every second picture only when browsing my albums... and I start to wonder where would it be possible to find it, because I NEED it, and unfortunately it's not always an easy question on Pinterest, usually it's pretty hard to track down the pins...
So I thought "I should share it at least with you guys on the blog, once I've found it"
Lately it was this sofa:
CURRENTLY CRAVING - Mad Men Style Highlights S06E0102
Our weekly dose of vintage style, Mad Man is finally back!

VINTAGE EASTER EGG - DIY shabby chic lace decor
I am not really doing DIY posts on Orsa Maggiore Vintage, but - if you know me it won't be a surprise for you - besides my vintage obsession I am pretty crafty as well
This year magically I've managed to decorate some Easter eggs in time and they are soooo pretty that I decided to write a short tutorial for you out there - maybe you are hunting for vintage Easter decor inspiration these days

VINTAGE HOLIDAYS - Easter floral / geometric decor
I love to decorate our home for Easter, finally I can put fresh flowers everywhere and I am craving for a few new colourful, bright decoration to freshen things up a bit
Also "Easter egg hunt" was the biggest fun ever thanks to my beloved creative Mom, can't wait to do the same with my little ones
Following this season's trends everything gets floral or geometric/chevron and never forget about our vintage addiction...

VINTAGE HOLIDAYS - Red and Pink Vintage Valentine's Party
As I mentioned before, we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day, but this time we happened to have some friends over so I couldn't resist to make the buffet table red and pink
I wanted to take it really easy so no hearts and cheesy messages just a lot of red and pink food and as much vintage and retro china and silverware as possible ;) The keyword would be mix and match I guess...
VINTAGE ICONS - The Kelly Bag
What could make a rainy, cold Monday a bit happier if not a vintage fairy tale and some nice pictures of beautiful vintage leather handbags

Keep on reading for the story and the Kelly bags currently on sale at the Orsa Maggiore Vintage Shop

LATELY - A Fresh Start
First of all sorry for the silent January! I took a break to visit my family in Hungary and I needed some time to think about how to proceed with Orsa Maggiore Vintage in 2013

Hope you all had a very nice January and see you in 2013 more often - I sware :)
If you are curious what did I do at home, here you can check some of my fav pictures including great food we ate, my Mom's sweet place and the beautiful theater of Kecskemet
