The simple things

If I lived here in Buenos Aires I would so have these kind of fruitcases at home as stylish storage in the kitchen.  

They are everywhere on the streets since they are used to transport fruit and veggies in, I guess if you asked you could buy one or thirteen...

My ALL TIME FAVORITE the chalkboard is used all over for displaying prices on the streets at food stores and dishes at restaurants. The chalkboard is for me a must at home. Have a need to scribble.The chalboard is perfect to help you remember. Love the white chalk against the black board. These are some of the plain and simple things I never grow tired of. 

San Telmo market

San Telmo is known for the Sunday market, it draws many people out of bed in Buenos Aires to find some antique object or just to look around and enjoy good food or a have a coffey at the cafe´s and restaurants.

 

The streets are packed with stands to display both arts&crafts and off course a lot of junk aswell. 

The antique shops are many 

San Telmo has many beautiful buildings that needs TLC. This one was calling me :) 

The siphons in blue and green glass seems like the mark of the San Telmo market and also appear in many of the photos that you can buy from photographers that sell their images here. 

 

This is so me. I found an Argentinian metal car plate from the 70´s. That´s the kind of thing that makes me happy to find at a market like this. It´s also very easy to pack. 

So happy to have a for me unique piece that will forever make me remember my time at the San Telmo market in Buenos Aires. A true souvenir. It will be a part the interiors of my new apt in town for sure.

The door to Buenos Aires

Not that I know a lot about Buenos Aires, I have only been here  2 days. I can say that I have fallen in love with the french architecture that look like its from the turn of the century, not this last one but the one before... but,most I learned today is from the 40´s & 50´s of this century. Love, love, love the wooden doors 5 meters high!! Amazing carpentry and craftmanship. 

The pure luxury of having the lenght of the door and the hight of the ceiling over 5 meters. Had to add the graffiti one aswell, 

it was just looking at me telling me to take a picture. 

Love walking around in Buenos Aires. It has so much to say and is such a friendly city.

You will meet swedish Mats Sahlin in an interview coming up during my stay here in BA, who is building a design apartment hotel and hear about his exciting project. I will meet him today and look at the building progress. Let me know if you want to ask any Q to an international entrepreneur like Mats and I will ask those Q for you.
