Please!

I need a bag of spoolies size large please! I have small ones but my hair is too long so they're too small. I found them on eBay but the seller refuses to ship to Sweden :(

Fritto fritto.

It looks like it has never been used, brand new. Don't know wich year is was made, can't find anything on Google. Gonna use it tomorrow, gonna make some mozzarella with tomatoes and basil. Yummy! Another thing that's yummy are my lemon cupcakes that i did today.

Weekend, at last!

I brought along my sunhat, from Wigéns that i bought from Sivletto, but it has rain ever since i got home. Buhu! And i have a cold, snor snor snor! The handmirror i found at Myrorna, it looks expensive but the green is some sort of plastic but the rest is heavy.

Yesterday i went to Kupan. Shitty is the word. There is only old ladies workin' there and they don't have a clue about anything so everything that's for sale is ugly clothes from the 80's and mostly 90's. You know, oldy lady clothes in creepy fabrics. I have bought a lot of clothes from there before but almost everything i have found were in the bags that was being sent to Russia (or some other country). Clothes from the 50's and 60's are nowhere to be seen because they sent it all away or throw away because there is a small rip. I hate them! But i was lucky this time because i found Rörstrands Fritto for 40 SEK. Pic will come up later.

Photos from last week.

Change the fabric on the kitchenchairs. Bought a new lamp and change the fabric on that as well. We love Stig Lindberg and squirrels.

I did some cupcakes last week, forgot to take a photo when they where done. Had too much flour in so they got a bit heavy but still yummy.

Sundays finds.

On sunday we went to Sivletto. Love the place! My boyfriend found lots of nice shirts and i found 1 sunhat (Wigéns), 1 shirt (Route 66) and a pair of black pants (Stop Staring). We bought for so much that the fika was free. I forgot to take a picture of the hat so i'll post that one later. Hard to get a decent pic of the pants but they have high waist, zip on the side and narrow legs. Oh so 50's and oh so perfect for the summer. The shirt has short little puff sleeves.

I forgot to tell about the perfume i bought on saturday, i've looked at it a week ago and then the price was about 450 SEK and now i bought it for 245 SEK. The pricetag must be wrong because on other Åhléns the price is 450 SEK. Hurra för mig!

Tomorrow i'm going to Skärholmen and pic up some contact-lenses, and buy myself a nice small notebook for work. I hope that they have Moleskine. They're the best!

Saturday.

I graduated on thursday and i got a gift voucher for Åhléns from my friends back home. So today i used it to buy some makeup from M.A.C. Actully the voucher didn't cover it all so i payed some myself because M.A.C is expensive but oh so great! Bought a perfume too. We also visited the Hallwyl musuem. I want to live there so bad, i wish i had millions and millons so i could build a copy. Bought some books there, one about Wilhelmina, one about Walther and one about their childen.

Latest eBay.

Just bought this pair of shorts. From the 40's or 50's. I hope they'll fit. Got my sailordress on monday and it did fit and that's nice. Gonna make some small repairs on it and wash it and then it's ready to use.

Things.

Some stuff i bought recently. Cute whale-necklace from Forever 21, black ballerinashoes (have searched forever for a nice model and found this one at Skopunkten 249 SEK) and a pair of navyblue Keds. Yes i'm pale, i really cant take the heat so good so i stay away from the sun, but even if i would be in the sun i won't get a tan. Haven't had one for over 10 years, i got sunburned once and since then nothing. It's okay because i like being pale. It looks nicer, i find people with a tan a bit creepy because they always overdo it. I get some freckles during the summer and those i love.

Love.

This little beauty we bought some months ago at John Wall, i think it cost around 2000 SEK, it was on sale. Yippi for us! I want to bake something, some lemon cupcakes and mabye a lemon pie. But no no, i have to study. I hate bookkeeping! Haven't baked for weeks!

Books.

I love old cookingbooks and this is my collection so far. The red one is called "Husmoderns rådgivare", printed 1926. It's full of great tips about the home, kitchen, first aid, stains, garden, cleaning etc. The grey one is "Prinsessornas kokbok". I have been searching for it for a while and then i found it cheap at Myrorna.

Here comes the sun.

My sunglasses that i bought some months ago, i got them really cheap (20$ = 120 SEK) on eBay. They're from the 40's and the condition is great! I can only wear them when i have my contacs in and now i only have one pair left. Need to call the optician...

Buy them please.

I just came back from the postoffice, picked up my white shoes and they're too bloody small! Too narrow. So if anyone wants to buy them let me know, size 7-8, 38-38.5. 25 cm on the inside. Narrow feet. Mabye i'll put them up on Tradera later. I want 500 SEK, or give me an offer. I prefer more because i'm broke and i haven't got a job.

Hey sailor!

I finally found it, the sailordress of my dreams. Well almost. It's from the 40's and i'm in love! It will go nicely with my sailorcap. Won it on eBay yesterday so i wont get it until a couple of weeks. I hope it fits, it has been a little too much cookies and fika the last weeks :D

Hot.

One old favourite (Max Factor masterpiece max mascara) and one new (Max Factor lipstick, intensely red 820)

It's so hot outside, i can't think. So i'm re-watching every episode of Smallville. Right now; season 2 episode 3 "Duplicity"

Yummy!

Got this today, bought it on eBay last week. I have wanted it for years. The seller shipped it on thursday and i got it today. Superfast shipping! Gonna make one pie when i get the time. I have to study for an exam i have in 2 weeks, bookkeeping. It's so confusing and boring.

I love eBay.

Got this little kit last week, i'm most excited about the Solo hair roller. I haven't tried it yet but mabye tomorrow. I'm selling the red one and the orange on Tradera, mabye the with and the blue later. I'm gonna think it over. I really just wanted the hair rollers.

Photoframes.

Some of my vintage photoframes. Bad pic i know, they are a bit too high up in the bookshelf and i'm short :( My brother and his son in the green frame, my greataunt Alma in the next and the one behind, the small one is of my aunt that died a long time ago and the big one is my aunts dad. The big red one is my greataunts husband Arthur, can show a closer pic on that one because it's really cool.

I want them now!

Oh yes, got my jumpsuit on thursday. It's fits ok, some slighter adjustments may have to be made. It was much darker than on pictures but that's just nice. Now i'm waiting on these beauties above! From the 30's, they look like a dream. I hope they fit like a dream too because they cost me 80$ (53$ without the shippingcost). The dollar may be low but i still want to buy things as cheap as i can (around 20-40$).

Photoalbums

I love collecting things, things i collect at the moment are: vintage hair-things like curlers, clamp etc, Shangri-Las records (vinyl only), postcards, vintage recipebooks (love cookies), vintage photoalbums, vintage photoframes, and Harry Potter-LEGO.

These are my vintage photoalbums so far. They are all unused. The red one with the eagle, my mother has the same but in blue that she got for christmaspresent sometime in the late 50's, i have forgotten the year. The red one at the bottom is my postcard-album, i collect postcards with motivs from my hometown. It's getting pretty full and i have to find another one but i'm thinking about framing all of the postcards and put up on the wall. But that's a future project...
In the last photoalbum i have put in some of my greataunt Almas (my dads mothers sisters) old photos from the 30's and 40's mostly. Some from the 50's and 60's and mabye one from the 20's. She was born 1910 and died last summer, my paternal grandma died long before i was born and i never knew her so my greataunt was the closest thing i had for a paternal grandma. I miss my aunt, she was so funny and had a better memory than me. She was like my best friend here in Sthlm, since all my friends live far far away...

Tuesday.

Got Earl yesterday, love it. Now i just want my playsuit. I'm waiting for an eBay-auction to end, white shoes from the 30's in my size!!! It's not often that i find vintage shoes in my size.Mabye i should bake some cupcakes today, it's been weeks since last. Mabye some chocolate chip cookies too. Yummi!
