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! :)

The Amazing Atelieri O.Haapala at Vapriikki Vintage

 Few weks ago in Vapriikki, Tampere. The wonderful Atelieri O.Haapala! I can't get enough of their photos and the beautiful backdrops they paint themselfs! 

Here's me in my HC vintage look (actually a find from a theatre fleamarket so not really that old. The shirt is second hand and shoes are real vintage leather boots, early 1900) and in the pic below me and my dear friend Ane, a.k.a. burlesque performer Pepper Sparkles.

See all the photos from Vapriikki on Atelieris facebook page.

One more photo from Tallinn Burlesque's facebook page (yes, not a blurry hipstamatic pic. Say what you like, but  since i don't have a proper camera at the moment, i prefer hipstamatic over the crappy cell phone pics!).

Guys looking smart 1938

Gals out and about.

As you may know, i love old paperbacks. This one is from the fifties.

Death on the Nile, 1937.

Here's another nice paperback. This was not a flea market find, but a treasure i found while dumpster diving.

The Deadly Truth, 1941. This one is from 1943 and the authors name is written wrong! It should be McCloy, not McGloy. Cover art by Eeli Jaatinen.
