morning has broken

 

 

 

 

Morning gown - Second hand

Top - H&M

Shorts - Mama's or dad's old

Shoes - Vagabond

 

 

I found this second hand morning gown last week and I could wear it all the time. It's so flowy and light and the pattern looks lovely. If it didn't look so completely like a morning gown, I'd wear it everywhere. Another item I can't get enough of are these Vagabond shoes. I'm just a lil' bit afraid of getting them dirty because of their whiteness!

Now that I'm not exactly in any kind of a school and am unofficially unemployed, I don't know if I should be enjoying summer this much. Worrying just isn't that much of my thing and doing nothing particular seems perfectly fine for me. If I'm meant to go to uni I'm sure some place will take me in, if not I'm sure I'll find a job sooner or later! Right now, I'm having a good summer and don't care to know when it'll end.

Here's a couple of photos from today. The rings are purchases from my trip to Turku. (All three for 6e, H&M) It was my nameday last Sunday, and another one today. I love namedays; breakfast in bed, presents and all nice things! I got this Moomin mug, and couldn't be happier. My collection of these mugs is getting ever so large. The one with Mymble's mother is the nameday gift and the one with Primadonna's horse was a graduation present. Love them♥!

 

 

 

Oh, P.S. I changed the blog's name. Starting this blog was so ex tempore, that I never thought about the name that much. I like this one much better, and your opinions on it are welcome too!

"Le Petit Prince" is one of my favourite books and I'd love to get my hands on either one of these moleskines. They're out of stock right now, so I have time to contemplate whether I should buy one. The blue one is probably my favourite, but they both are just so pretty!

there and back again

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello, lovelies, I'm back! After a pretty hectic last week, it's been good to just relax this Tuesday. I haven't had time to sort out all my graduation pictures, but thank you for all the wonderful messages you left! ♥ Right after all the celebration (well, the next day, to be exact) I travelled to Turku. I had an entry exam to study classics at the uni there. Don't know how it went, I don't have a good or a bad feeling about it.. Anyway, my day at Turku was really nice. :-) I came from the exam at the same time with this other lassie, and since we both had time to spare and didn't know the town that well we went shopping together. (If you ever happen to read this; was lovely to meet you and I'm hoping to see you next year at the uni;)!) Now that I'm not a complete stranger to Turku, I'll have to explore more the next time. I have another exam next week, you see!

lyre

 

 

It's three days to my graduation/party and all the preparations are keeping me quite busy. (I haven't even finished my dress yet!) This will probably result into a short break in blogging just now. So, if you don't hear from me that's what I'll be doing. There's still so much baking, cooking, sewing, cleaning, organizing...

One thing I did get done, was to buy this lyre pin for mama. I didn't even know it's customary to get it for your parents, so it was good that mama asked when I'm going to pop in the jeweller's:-).

springtime walks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Saturday, we had a wee walk around our neighbourhood with mama. We were trying to find some spring flowers but there was only lil' buds. However, the day was really nice and it finally looks like spring. I love this road leading into the forest. Actually, I love most parts of our small village, it's such a peaceful place! I look like a proper mongo in these pictures, but don't we all, at times.

Hope you're all having a good start to this new week♥!

it feels like years since it's been here

 

 

 

 

Dress & Belt - Mama's old

Shoes - Topshop

Hair bow - Self-made

 

Earrings - Sister's old, from France

 

I brought this black&red carpet from my room to be dusted outside and it took me ages to get it done as it's so heavy. So I decided I don't like it enough to get it back upstairs or even to keep for a future home. Mama's idea was to let it stay outside on the porch. It's proving to be quite a good one too, and it's lovely to sit on the stairs now that there's more than just plain wood to sit on. I can see myself having a cup of coffee outside on upcoming sunny mornings!

I am totally in love with all old photo effects! And there's so many different kinds.. I'd edit all my pictures like that, but that'd probably get a bit annoying. Still, you'll be seeing more of these 'old photos'.

And - finally - the weather's been nice around here! :-) I even had my first ice cream outside this evening. Normally, I've gone swimming on May 20th, so maybe it's time for that soon! Whether or not, I hope it'll be sunny the whole week!
