Thrift Finds: July

Here's a few of my thrift finds of the month. Only a few, 'cos some are already in the fleamarket bags ready to be sold, and the rest I´ve forgotten, for they have yet become parts my everyday life. But I´ll just add them to the next thrift post, if I remember them later! All the finds from Berlin aside, they are (poorly) pictured in the previous post.

Edit: I even forgot to post one of the pictures! Couple dresses added.. :)

Lovely crocheted collar on this 50´s woollen wiggle dress. It´s a bit small, sized more like extra small, but otherwise it fits perfectly and has a lot of fabrik in the seams, so I´ll take it out a bit to fit me. And cost only five euros this one. <3

Couple of books, new one from Paulo Coelho for 2e, and The Baskerville Hound only for 1 euro.

I´ve been looking for a backbag, and this ugly kinda beautiful forest green thing was the one right when I saw it. The small handbag has become my everyday bag now, it goes with everything.

These 60's-70's Finnish dresses were part of a bigger find, and was ment to be sold. When they didn't go in the first event, I made the mistake to try them on, and well..they fit so perfectly, I had no other choice but to keep them.

New in the kitchen are those green dessert bowls and the two-tier wooden tray. I seem to have somekinda fixation on all things green nowadays..

Berlin, a Week Long Weekend

Our week in Berlin. Hope I had better pics, but all the good ones are with Anna in the lovely countryside of Mikkeli, where there's no computer or wlan, so you'll have to do with these.

In a nutshell Berlin was lots of food, "apfelschorle", "Hefeweissen" and shopping in secondhand stores, or just wandering around sultry hot city. Couple of stormy evenings was spent in our top floor flat in Kreuzberg, with more wine and some damn delicious cheeses, and one watching a movie in a little cosy movietheater. Our neighborhood was very lively, I loved the fact that we even had a bakery just downstairs, there seemed to be one in every corner.  Many of our destinations were in the walking distance, like that one hat"gallery" we spent a small fortune in, and ate yammy waffels with icecream afterwards in the cafe right next to it. I´m missing Berlin so much already! But well, at least when you can't go back right away, you can look at the photos. Here's snapshots of our trip from the start:

Dinner at Juttutupa with Anna's friends, at whose flat we slept the nights before and after our flights, many thanks H & R! :)

Breakfast at the airport. That rhubarb thing with creamy yoghurt and oat crumbles was awesome

First meal in Berlin, falafels and Halloumi cheese. Anna didn't get to wear that jacket much after that, it was such a sweaty hot weather, swimwear would maybe have been the best choice in clothes most days there..

Our flat, and us getting ready for another whole day spent in -U-bahn stations, restaurants and shops, hanging around the city.  Lots of reading maps (and Anna making funny faces <3).












And yes, some extra weight was gained, to the bag (which actually broke to pieces on the way home, but that is a completely different story then.. :D) and to my waist too, but it was worth it to the last bit. And so much was left to see, so till the next time, Berlin! <3
