Spring news

After a break from thrifting I finally took the time (and had a few extra euros, living on scholarship is not that lucrative:) to go to my favourite second hand shops and flee markets in Vaasa. Some finds in pictures:

These phones remind me of my childhood (a time without mobile phones...). The red-brown one is an exact copy of the one we had at home when I grew up. Love them, got them for 50 cent and I predict they will soon be retro-marked, that is valuable.

Love these old vintage patterns. When I have a child I can make us both a nice tunic:)

Maybe I'll use this piece of fabric for sewing the tunics... Soft cotton.

I collect old coffee cups. This Arabia beauty I found today. The set has two flaws, but I don't mind, it's lovely. I haven't seen the patten before, anybody know the name of this collection? The cup together with my thrifted scarf, they make a stylish couple:)

This psychedelic silky shirt will be re-fashioned in some way. Love the green colour!

And finally: this jacket. It has got the details a jacket should have today: puffy-sleeves, both at the shoulder and the cuffs. The weather has been warm, but not enough for me to only ware this as a jacket, but soon!

Spring time brings fourth many new ideas and lots of creativity. I have a free Friday evening and will finish a dress I started making some weeks ago.

Tomorrow I'm going to Turku to do a workshop in songwriting and on Sunday we'll go to Helsinki with the same agenda. The organisers have booked us rooms at Klaus K Hotel (looks pretty nice!) and I am soooooo much looking forward sleeping and eating breakfast at the hotel! One of the best things I know.

Have a beautiful weekend!
