A Wonderful surprise: magazines from 1900 to 1920's

The postman had a wondrful surprise for me the other day. A parcel full of old finnish and swedish magazines! They were sent to me by Ulla from Karikoski. She saw my Blogistania episode ant thought that i might be interested in these. She was right! What a treasure! Lots of patterns and inspirational images.

This is probably my favuorite picture of them all, 

ladies suits and hats in a Finnish magazine from 1914. 

Thank you Ulla! Kiitos Ulla! :)

Hejsan Sverige!

I just found out that the tv show Blogistania was on Swedish tv today! So hi you all who found my blog watching "Bloggistan" :)

If you are in Finland and you missed Blogistania when it aired here, you can go and watch it on YleAreena.

 At my atelier with my friends Miia and Petra.

Behind the scenes at home.

I found these photos while looking for something totally different from my laptop. This winter has been so long and cold, or atleast it feels like it when you are so eagelry waiting for summer. These photos were taken in Tampere where we had our Fintage, vintage society meeting.

The other thing i'm dreaming about (besides New York, i'm always dreaming about New York) is Berlin. I saw a documentary about the 1930's cabaret in Berlin called "The real Cabaret" (England 2009) where actor Alan Cumming travels to find out the facts about the story behind the oscar winning movie.
In Finland you can see the documentary here.
Oh, and if you haven't seen my Blogistania episode, you can see it here (17 days left to watch it).
You can only watch it is Finland, sorry :/

So...i'm gonna be on tv next week. I was asked to be a part of this thing called Blogistania. It's about blogs and bloggers. Today i was asked to come to the early morning (too early!) program to talk about it. Here's few pics. I was wearing a Fiona Timantti hat and one of my favourite piece of jewellery, Tero Kuitunen Diamond!

 Heh heh!

You can watch the clip on Yle Areena (i think it only works in Finland, sorry).

 I was happy to be asked to be a part of a new tv series about blogs and bloggers. It's called Blogistania and it will bw out next month!

The camera crew came to my home and to my atelier. It was a bit stressful, since my home is a very private place to me... My cats Bix and Cecil are in almost every frame, i'm sure. My little tv-stars! They were very exited.

 On the street where i live. I'm wearing self made capelet and hat.

This marvelous 30's dress is one of the dresses i found while dumpster diving a while ago. I told you about it in this post, remember? I'll post pictures of other dresses i found later, when i'm wearing them. Ofcourse not all of them were my size, some of them i gave away or sold.
