Danish Thrift Shopping

So far, I’ve discovered 4 thrift shops in the town where I’m planning to live. The main difference I see between the US and Danish shops is that the majority of US inventory is clothes, and here, it’s mostly furniture and housewares.

I’m going to have a lot of fun furnishing my flat from the secondhand shops because there’s a lot of very reasonably priced tiny furniture in cool shapes and fabrics (like velvet) :)

Here are a couple recent finds from my Danish thrift shopping adventures…

I mixed and matched this set of cups and saucers. The shopkeeper decided not to charge me for the saucers (welcome to Denmark!), so I got this set of four for 40 DKK, which is roughly $8. I wanted a set of six, but the other two cups were damaged, so I’ll have to make due with four. I love them!

This glazed clay casserole is awesome! I cooked a veggie tangine in it at Christmas and I anticipate using it a lot more when I finally have a kitchen here. Now I just sort of sporadically beg people to let me use their kitchens in exchange for American cooking :)
