Just wanted to show you two newly thrifted books that inspire me.
The first one is a book from the 50s or 60s called "Porselensmaling som hobby" (Painting porcelain as a hobby). It has the most beautiful stilised illustrations in blue grey and black, and has lots of mid century scandinavian pottery as inspiration pictures. And there is also some information about some of my favorite swedish designers/patternmakers like Stig Lindberg, Carl Harry Staalhane and Marianne Westmann.
Yay, what a find!

And the other book is called "Småretter" (tiny/buffet dishes), and is also from the 50s. This book is filled with all kinds of quirky dishes like aspic logs and toadstool eggs, all with mayonaise and cream of course like all food from that time. :)

It is also filled with these beautiful handcolored pictures that just make me want to dive into the picture and start to eat everything, yum!

These are my favorite spreads:
