Kirppis/loppis/Second-hand stores

I'd like to remember how many things I have found in a "kirppis" but I just cant name all of them.

I wasnt a big fan of Second-hand stores in Lima, I guess I went maybe 2 o 3 times...but just found very old and dirty clothes...so when I heard about "kirppis " here in Finland..I thought...usch how can people go to those places :D
Well, now...I consider second-hand stores as my drug :D can't get enough of them...It doesnt mean I need to buy something every time I go...but just to search and search and find hidden treasures is what makes it exciting.

What I look after in a kirppis right now are:

- Old porcelain dishes ( Arabia mainly, a Finnish porcelain brand )
- Old metal/Steel dishes...love to decorate my home with them...
-Old sheets and line hand towels
-Old alpakka ( type of silver ) forks, spoons, etc
-Clothes for me and my family...but good quality brands ( Gant, Hilfiger, Esprit )
-Shoes ( Ecco, Vagabond )

Just thinking about the treasures one can find there...makes me wanna go right away... :) its almost midnight and Tuco has been up all the time...might be the flu...or just fooling around :/

I wonder how we will manage to get the boys to sleep in their own bed at their own bedroom :/

Who am I? / Vem är jäg? / Quien soy yo?

A summary of me, myself and I :) 

( I will write in English, so you can use google translator if you can't English )

I am woman, mother and wife originally from Lima, Peru. Moved to Finland in 2007 because I met the "love" of my life ...why "" because if you are married you know the feeling when you are just sooo crazy in love but after being married for a few years...you drive each other crazyyyy and sometimes you wonder why the hell you got married  :D

Oh well, a few will understand me...

So, now its 2013, Mr. M and I have two small boys age (Tuco 5 and Tico 3 ), we live in an Island in the south of Finland, and we work in a family company.

I don't know what else I could write about myself...

I love to read blogs, interior design magazines, celebrities, fashion, antique furniture.

My to do list is to have a third child ...which is planned in a couple of years. ( maybe! According to Mr.M )

My hope is to have a happy &healthy family,  to continue to have a job ( eventhough is stressful during season time ) to finally have more closed friends ( having friends when you are coming from another country is so difficult :/ )

My dream ( materially thinking )to win lotto , to travel around the world, to have a honeymoon in Bora Bora and to buy a Chanel Jumbo flapbag in caviar with GHD  ;)
