Free objects
Recently, more birds have been visiting our balcony. When we lived in our previous apartment, we would often leave some oat flakes for birds on our balcony. I've been wanting to feed birds again for a while. We live on the top floor again, so rats don't visit this space to enjoy bird food.
My partner and I have been donating to our local byttestationer (swap shops) for many months now, since I moved to Copenhagen in 2023. Yet, we very rarely took something from them. Today, we visited our local byttestation again, as I was hoping to find something suitable to feed the birds. And I found this beautiful glass bowl in the picture above.
On this occasion, the byttestation was full of various objects made of glass. We also took four glasses that we are now using for drinks and yoghurt (in the picture below). I'm grateful to have these useful and free objects. It feels strange that I don't know the story behind them. Who lived with these objects? Where do they come from? Yet, for me, their story started in our local byttestation, and that's beautiful in itself.
