I finished this suit, made from a 40s pattern, quite a while ago and you’ve probably seen it in a few Instagram photos since I’ve been wearing it a lot, but now I finally have some proper...
Our dining area. First flea market loot of the year. And the second flea market loot. A fantastic waffle iron with original booklet. The book I’m reading at the moment, and a sneak peek of my n...

I have lowered the prices on all remaining print lots in my Etsy shop and will not renew the listings when they expire, so this is your last chance if you are interested in these particular lots! Go ...
I’m planning a future trip to Palm Springs, perhaps this winter. Any tips for things to see and do? On the list so far is a mid century architecture tour, the aerial tramway and the Indian Cany...
I thought I’d choose a magazine from a different time period after all the Filmjournalen issues from the 40s, so the next magazine up is Allas, a weekly magazine with short stories and more. Ho...
I just found the actual article about the Showgirls in Florida, through a post on the tumblr 1940’s woman. You can read it on Google Books.

Today was a lovely spring day and this is what I wore! I wore one of my favourite suits, from ebay a long time ago. I bought the little fifties hat on Etsy to match the gloves I found at the Antiques...

Remember this painting? I made it in exchange for the She-Ra Crystal Castle and a whole bunch of the dolls. I never had any She-Ra toys growing up but I’m a huge fan. When I was a kid I cut out...

I just managed to destroy my beloved quilted silk dressing gown. I have washed it several times before, but this time, without thinking, I added some stain remover and the dye started to come away in...
A few old photos of what I think is probably the best hair I ever had. This was back in 2004 so I would have been about 19. Sadly I’m now allergic to hairdye and can never have black hair again...

I’ve recently realised that for being such an old movie nerd I’ve seen embarrassingly few old Swedish movies. To remedy this I have started recording most Swedish movies made before the m...
