Quick update.

Hello!

As you know, I was visiting my father last weekend. Travelling with cheaper train is horrible...

Anyway, I'll be getting a possible fleamarket post coming (if I manage to find anything..) and another eBay cosmetics post (I got some extra money :3). I'm going out tomorrow with a friend of mine to scavenge some new fleamarkets, possibly some older ones if we have time.

I'm still very tired after my trip, but boy did I have fun! My father seemed very pleased with my gift for him, which was a photograph album filled with pictures of me and my brother when we were young.

And this time I remembered to take a picture of the card! It's nothing big, just a small card saying "Congratulations" and a poem behind it.

^ Nothing special :)

.......

Too bad I didn't get time to spend at Helsinki, there was a shop my friend told me about and I would've wanted to check that out.

Which reminds me... There was this odd statue near Kamppi (a shopping centre & bus station). See for yourself.

^ Very bizarre. Baby Lordi (Finnish band..)?

.......

Well, what ever it's supposed to be, it's odd.

And that's all for today, hopefully the next post will be longer and more interesting!

Celebrating my brother's graduation.

Hello hello!

So I came to Nummela to arrange and celebrate my brother's graduation.

I was in charge of almost every food and drinks, while my mother helped me out.

We had smoked salmon & potato salad, deer & tomato sandwich cakes, biscuits, lemon & white chocolate mousse cake and two different kind of punches. One with alcohol and one without it, which tasted like roses. Lovely. Very manly :P ♥

Anyway, I only got to take pictures of the cake so I'll add them.

^ Sides are made with bubble wrap :3

^ And the "ribbon" says "Congratulations Tomas" in Finnish.

.......

But we had so much fun. Few relatives had come over and couple (my cousin and grandmother)

stayed for two nights. And of course with my cousin it means that we had to go out later and drink. A lot. Oh my. Well, no need to drink for a while now :P

And on Sunday my brother and I came to our father's place to celebrate again, this time with other relatives. I didn't really feel like celebrating much, after all, I was suffering from hangover :P

.......

I think I'll go back to Tampere on Friday, and my childhood friend is coming with me, to stay with us for few days. Can't wait. She'll get to meet our cats again, not to mention everything else we get to do.

I've spent most of my time here with her anyway, since we don't meet that often. But maybe in the future she'll move to Tampere, at least she's been talking about that with her fiancé.

Just have to keep on hoping ;)

Oh and I got some new stuff! I don't have any pictures right now, so I'll tell about them later! Hopefully I get to post before I leave, but I can't make any promises since I've got quite a bit of things I need to do here before I leave.

Gotta go,

Flea market & Heureka trip!

It's been a while. Last time I mentioned about my trip to Heureka with two friends to see The Body Worlds exhibition. 
It was amazing! Science has come a long way, it's stunning. The way they preserve the bodies and organs. Wow. Definitely check it out if you dare.

Took couple of pictures while we were there. Mostly outside, the weather was nice. Barely any clouds and sun was shining (..burning). So I decided to wear a skirt that day. And even after a week my left thigh is still sore from the trip. :P
Nothing like sweaty and warm summer day with big thighs rubbing against each other until you bleed.

Anyway, I'll post couple pictures and then move on with my other story (Flea market haul!♥).
(I know I promised to make a post about nail varnishes, but it's taking me a lot longer to get done than I thought..)

^ The large "stone garden" of Heureka.

^ This pond was right next to Heureka and as you can see, the weather really is great.

^ We took quite a lot of pictures, but mostly with my friends better camera. I love this river that flows right next to Heureka, behind the pond from the last picture.

^ And yeah.. My pale feet! I'm surprised I didn't burn myself.

.......

Anyway, we had so much fun going there, even thought we had few problems... But hey, three baker-confectioners trying to figure out a car? I bet we looked so pathetic and lost so we got help without even asking for it.

And then we got lost... :D

But we finally made it to Heureka and had so much fun with those dead bodies.♥

.......

And that's all for the Heureka trip. Now it's time for my flea market haul!

It was last weeks umm... Wednesday I think, when I went out with my friend to check out one big flea market at Tampere centre.

At first I didn't really buy anything, since I didn't have a lot of money to use, but later my fiancé called and said that I could buy something more "expensive" if I wanted to.

So what did I get?

^ I don't know if I've told this yet, but I absolutely love Moomins! Anything to do with them etcetc. So I couldn't resist when I saw this canvas tote for 5€. And it has this tiny apron inside! It's a kids size, but I don't care. Maybe I'll make our cats wear it..

^ And yeah, more Moomin stuff. It says "Here lives" in Finnish.

I have two reason why I got this. My long time friend (we've know each other ever since we were four) had a plaque like this in her room, and I think it's still in that room, even thought she doesn't live there anymore. And the second reason was of course, Moomins. And it was only 50cents. ♥

^ And then I got some black and rose coloured ribbons for my crafts. 1,50€/piece, not bad.

^ And a RED bag! Oh my oh my! It was only 5€, in perfect condition and I just fell in love with it. I finally have a red handbag!♥

Really liking the crocodile skin pattern it has.. :3

.......

And the friend I was with actually got me something too! (Can't remember where it was from...)

Anyway, he had two and wanted to give the other one to me, and I got to choose from golden or blue. Golden of course, since I barely use blue.

^ Makeup! Aww yeah! I do like the turquoise eyeshadows too, works great with gold and browns.

And I love the nail varnish it has! Just perfect!

^ Yay! Also liking the lip gloss, even thought I rarely use them. Guess I just have to start ;)

.......

And that's it for today. I need to go and do my hair before I leave for Tampere centre again. Have some shopping to do before my trip.

Which I still have not mentioned. I am leaving tomorrow to go to Nummela! My little brother is graduating, so I'll be going there to help organize his party and meet some relatives. I'll be gone for a week, but I'll try to post something even when I'm there. :)

I can't wait! I've been working for a sugarpaste decoration for my brothers cake, and I also made a card for him. Maybe I'll try and make a small post while I'm there, and show you those! And everything else my mom and I will be making for the party.

Wait for it! See you guys.

Very nostalgic. Long post.

Eeeyyy.

I finally got back from my trip to Nummela.
I was supposed to come back earlier (Thu-Fri), but I had so much to do that I ended up coming back yesterday (Sun). 

It was great to spend so much time back there (I hadn't been there for two years!), so much had changed! Many new buildings, stores changing places and such. Very nostalgic.

And I got to spend time with my best friend! As I told in my last post, we went to Helsinki. And I did buy some stuff from there.

Which was Japanese candy and more of the Arizona tea drinks. :P

^ Green tea & peach candies, strawberry Hello Kitty pockys, and tea! Green tea with honey and white tea with blueberries. Nom.

Latest project and new bracelets.

It has been a busy week once again. 

I haven't gotten a chance to post earlier, and on Monday I went on a trip to visit my mother. So here I am, in Nummela, Finland. Still snow everywhere but spring is trying it's best. I'll be staying here till Friday, and then it's back to Tampere.

I haven't been here in two years. It's amazing how fast time goes by. So much has changed in here.
I also got a chance to meet my best friend and check out her apartment (I want it!). And trying to go and see my grandma tonight. And tomorrow it's my old school, going to go and say HI! to my old teachers.

So, anyway. I had a little jewellery project last Sunday, and today I finally had the time to take pictures. 
I didn't even have internet connection until yesterday evening. My mother couldn't remember the password, and my brother is on a trip with my dad (Climbing to Himalayas! Check out Rhododendron Forest at Nepal . Amazing! ). But finally my mother got a text message from my brother, telling where they were at the moment (Tengboche Monastery) and also the password for the wireless connection.

.......

But, that's that for now, let's move on to the pictures of my jewellery project!
I had this very pretty long necklace that had a big filigree ball with a pearl inside it. But I wanted to make it stand out more. And I also wanted something to fit it. 

So I bought four filigree golden leaves from eBay, and made them into earrings, pendant and a ring. I also added some pearls to the chain, and glued a flatback pearl to the ring.

^ And here they are! You can see the filigree ball in the first picture, that was the only thing in the original necklace (plus the chain of course). Personally I think they came out nice. I like how the pearls go with the golden leaves. 

.......

And here are the new bracelets I got! I also have silver coloured zipper bracelet, but I left it at home. They're quite hard to get on my arms sometimes, but usually with brute force and some swear words I get them on. Taking them off is another story... 

But yeah! I really like these, and they were quite cheap too. Zipper bracelets were 0,99 British pounds (1,20€), the middle bangle was a bit more, 2,something Brithis pounds, and the braided one was also 0,99 British pounds. So not bad, if you ask me.

^ Bling Bling!

.......

And that's it! I'll be posting more soon, I just got a call from my friend, and we'll be going to Helsinki for a while. Hanging around, maybe shopping something for her (because I have no extra money atm... so nothing for me :P  ), and yeah. Going to check out one cupcake shop there!
