A study of pin curls.

Photo: Jessica Silversaga

Det här är mitt andra försök till att lära mig pin curls. Såhär såg det ut första gången jag försökte.
Jag är nöjd med resultatet, den mesta tiden går åt till att forma vågorna och det hade jag inte riktigt tid med idag.
Hårblomman är köpt på Myrorna, klänningen är från 40-talet.

This is my second attempt to do pin curls. You can see the first time here, starting with counterclockwise curls.
This time i made them clockwise. I am happy with the result and will continue training.
The red flower is thrifted and the dress is from the 40’s.


Friday.

Mina senaste loppisfynd, en tunn tunn krage som var ganska dyr men ville hem till mig och en bunt gamla silverbestick. Det sistnämnda hittade jag på en loppis för 45 kronor. Kragen kostade 250 kronor.

Translation:
My latest thrifted findings, a mint vintage organdy collar. Salesman’s samples, still attached to the paper, 39$.
The cutlery and plate cost me a little over 6$. Happy friday everyone!


I found my yellow basket.

Jag har hittat en fin väskkorg på en loppis. Det gjorde mig väldigt glad. 140 pix kostade den och står nu och pryder mitt fönster i väntan på varmare dagar. De fina bilderna har Jacob tagit, tack för hjälpen!

This is my latest thrifted find, a large basket for 20$. I have been looking for a bag like this one for quite some time. I think it will be perfect for picnics and lazy summer days. Happy.



Kom snart igen.

I have an old typewriter and I made this for you. The note says “Streets where I would like to live”. Some of my favorites are called Strangers road and Come back soon.

Hello. I hope you all are feeling well.
I have had the flu the last days. But then I also had the time to finish this vintage dress (that was too big), watch movies, rest and dream about spring.
And yes, I also managed to get out and buy some old flowered teacups. The best way to get better, I am sure.

Last weekend I was invited to Tygverket’s workshop “Making a circle skirt”.

I am so happy with the result. I have wanted a simple black wool skirt with high waist for quite some time now.

Amanda was so amazing and helped me learn how to make one. It was very easy!
