Since this year is passing by so quickly I decided it was time to spoil myself a bit once I made it to Helsinki's biggest second hand market. I strolled up and down the lanes with Michelle. Stopping by hundreds of garments, pausing to catch up on smalltalk and reflecting on important everyday advice (how to make the most of what we have, really enjoying it), we picked up small stories. A gold leather clutch used by a governess "a very fierce and colorful person, extremely classy but absolutely not snobby at all, and about one hundred years old", said the owner. A summerdress from Brazil, a crazy jumper from Thailand (didn't fit - anyone wants it?), a series of pretty little bags to arrange my necklaces in, a golden belt, a black perfect handbag, a glam office cardigan and a vintage leathercase for a notepad - with a lock! I firmly believe that beautiful things carry beautiful moments in them. Just layin my eyes upon them generates happiness - so why not.
