STUFF AND THINGS

It's been a while!
Life as a new mother has been great so far, except getting a depression
after I had to stop breastfeeding. I'm still really blue but I'm not letting it
take over my daily life.

What else? Oh, I don't know, not much to tell really.
Here's a few things from the last two weeks...

I managed to snag two Cowichan sweaters recently for a really decent price.
One for me and one for Dixon. £11.50 (approx. $18) and £5 (approx. $8).

Revamped one of my belts the other day.

This handsome fella turned 6 months today!
I can't believe the time passes by this fast!!!

And a couple of selfies with Dixon for good measure. ;)

WELL DRESSED LITTLE MAN

I don't think there's many bloggers left, I think almost everyone
has emigrated to instagram nowadays.
I'm one of the few who doesn't own a modern phone (because
I have phone phobia and no friends over here in the UK) so I'm
staying here for now.

I thought I show you some neat finds I managed to snag for my
darling Dixon. All garments are deadstock from the 1950's.
He's gonna be a well dressed little man in a few years. :)

£4.70 for the lot. ($8)

£4.20. ($7.20)

£2.70 for the lot. ($4.60)

£9.40 for the lot. ($16)

£17 for the lot. ($29)

£20 for the lot. ($34)

£8 for the lot. ($13.70)

Oh! I almost forgot to show off the vintage pram we got!
It's a 1960's Marmet pram, near mint condition and it cost
only £30 on eBay! ($51)

LATEST EBAY & ETSY FINDS

It's been a while since I posted about any finds.

FAMILY PORTRAIT

GLAD MIDSOMMAR!

Happy Midsummer's Day!
I hope you're out in the sunshine dancing around the maypole
rather than sitting indoors by the compuuter as I do right now
because I'm feeding the little one.
I must say that since I moved to the UK I really miss Swedish
things I didn't really care that much about before, like sweets,
food and drinks and celebrating midsummer, it's unfortunately
not a "thing" around here. :(
I always get terribly homesick during the summer months.

Last night I made this midsummer necklace to cheer myself
up a little.

NEW ITEMS IN MY ETSY SHOP

Hi there!
I'm finally crafting again after a break due to bad swelling in my hands.
I'm fine now tho. :)

Here's some things I've made and listed in my Etsy shop.

I've also been revamping this thing, which I think might have been a
hair clip once. It made a nice exotic brooch and earring set for bright
summer days.
