Once size fits all

I'm no big fan of fancy underwear, not in the way that I don't wear any, but I just don't get amused buying it. They just need to be there, if you know what I mean. Some days ago I had a ticket left to Local Natives gig in Gothenburg, my friend Pia, whom you've met at Once Upon A Time here at Yash, was desperate to go see them and I had to celebrate my mums birthday. It was perpect, Pia got the ticket and I got to celebrate. Today she gave me this super mega great trousers and bras. I love them allready even though I haven't tried them on yet. They're from Abecita, where Pia is the designer.

In my cupboards part 1

I'm a collector, it's in my blood, my parents have always saved everything, an old wheel to a stroller, an old painting no one likes, an almost to well used pair of sneakers. They don't throw anything away. And that way I was raised, and now I'm getting more and more alike my parents.
I love old stuff, but to say I've always had would be a lie, when I was a kid I love IKEA, just because it was the opposite of what we had at home, my parents antique, dark furniture... But I've grown into the old habits of my parents and now I'm here, living at 900 sq ft. and can't throw away anything. I like all my stuff, not to say I love some of it. So, from now on, I was thinking I should show what's in my cupboards. (That's also an old bad habit of mine, to look into peoples cupboards when I'm visiting...)

These glasses L bought to me, after he had heard me complain about the so frequently used cone-formed champagne glasses, he found these in an antique shop in Haga in Gothenburg and they are perfect for special occasions, or occasions which just need to be a bit more special then they are, a dull tuesday or so. He found six of them and bought 'em all, even though one had a small crack. I don't think (opposite to my mother who would never buy anything with a crack in it) that matters really. They are old and a litte worn, but one of them still have a sticker saying "Trelleborg" that's a Swedish city, so now we know they're Swedish, but the rest is just up to our imagination.

A great gift

My sister turned 23 in the end of November. I made her a light strand to hang somewhere in her apartment. All you need is a lightning strand, some cute paper cups (they don't need to be this christmasy, and you can change every season!) and a knife. Let's begin!This is what you need. Make sure you have as many cups as there is lights on the strand.

Cut an X and simply pull the lights through the X. 

Now they're done!

And there's light!

Treat

I don't eat chocolate nor candy, but I consume notebooks and pens as they where made of sugar. And since mondays are boring and this monday in particular was cold and cloudy, I decided to treat myself with new pens and notebooks. For sketches and memories and thoughts. All worthy some space on my favorite type of paper. Every word feels a bit more important in a good notebook.
I aslo bought a Moomin cover for my metro card I plan to buy now when the winter is here.
