You're very welcome, it's only a guess. I look forward to others agreeing or disagreeing with me.

I will indeed! I just need to find a bit of time to do something with my hair first (short bangs + hair down to the waist = pain in the ass )

Me too! I love nothing more than trawling through second hand book shops - you never know what you'll find!

Finland seems to be quite a nice place for finding good things, they organize that kind of open air flea markets all around the country during the summer. Hopefully I'll manage to find a few more nice things before the summer is over!

I know what you mean - I just love that musty smell! I could literally spend hours in a second hand bookshop.....and I have - my favourite was Goulds in Newtown, Sydney - I came out of there several times laden down - found some out of print gems there.

By the way your hat is divine and I love what you've done with your hair - so elegant!

I had no idea - I'm really sad to hear that. It was really the best shop for second hand - it was a real treat to visit there (I loved the cats that just sat around on the books too!). I read the article and I have a feeling he may served me the first time I went there - and he was so generous when it came to prices - just looked at the heap of books I had and said something like "12 dollars" - I couldn't believe it! The next time I went was a different young guy who checked the price inside each book and charged accordingly!!!!!

It's sad to hear of his passing but he ran an amazing and unique store and I have a feeling it will be there (and enjoyed and loved) for many, many years to come....

As an avid collector of Vogue knitting books, I was delighted to score this one yesterday!

 

[LinaSofia]

great find Kate! I wish I had the patience to learn how to follow a knitting pattern properly! (I've only ever made scarves..)

I won this scotty dog brooch on ebay today, I collect things with scotty dogs on them and I thought this one was a bit quirky with the gun!

 

[thedanu]

thank you very much ladies! <3

I would love to show you my new dress but I can't load photos since the photo loading has changed. Does anyone know why I can't load?
Does this work?
