OMG, have y’all seen this!? I just stumbled upon this pink beauty on Tumblr. It’s from Nordiska museet! It’s late 18th century, made in silk “atlas”? I have no idea what...
My palms suddenly got very sweaty yesterday while watching the Swedish version of Antiques Roadshow – Antikrundan. A woman brought a pair of mid 18th century mules: They were valued to about 10...

OMG, how cute is this? <D I’ve been thinking of doing something similar – crochet style, but right now I can become an aunt at any second so I’m making little baby stuff. ^^ Mari...
Been working up to 10 h days for like 2 months and I’m pretty beat when I come home, so I mostly just end up browsing random stuff my eyes like. Today I searched for “cat” in the ne...
Ok, it’s actually not entirely done (stomacher problems etc.), but since we took some photos and they turned out allright… ;D I want you to know that I am well aware that this look, with ...

I’ve always been lurking at the edges of the forset of Dress up dolls, today I wandered too far – I am now LOST! First I found this adooooorable and intricate Yukata dress up, very cute. ...
Phew, almost gave up on trying to fit the pet-en-l’air and stomacher there, no matter how I tried the jacket wouldn’t fit well, which is strange considering how many times I’ve fitt...
I’ve only got 30 cm of trimming to do. =D

How did I ever imagine I could cover my own vintage buttons? I had these brass buttons with the classic anchor motif that I got from my usual provider – my better half’s mother Kristina. ...
This is a post mostly based upon the fact that I’m Swedish, but I think all of us can appreciate great workmanship when we see it. See, I was browsing the MET for my new Tumblr – Awesome ...
