This is me today. Crappy problem: I’ve been staying at Frej’s place and only have one pair of shoes here. Yesterday they gave me huge blisters and today I have to wear them all day anyway. I pity myself already.

Today I wrote my first whole CSS/XHTML document on my own! I am very proud!
Frejs impressive pin collection.
Matryoshka dolls from Mattias & Johanna. I have five different sets now so all the ones I find from nowon will end up on the site.
This is our house! I love the strange chimney thingie. And that we live next to a pizzeria!
Julia and I went for a walk to feed the ducklings by the pond nearby.
Julia, my soon to be ex-flatmate. She’s moving back to Finland on Sunday, sad sad.

Here comes more of my pictures from our Copenhagen journey!
We arrived and met some birds.
Very enthusiastic about being fed.
We had made loads of waffles and never had to buy any food at all in Copenhagen. Best thing ever when you’re poor.
A nice store front.
Frej thrifted a 70s Copenhagen map a while back. Worked perfectly, not much had changed.
I wanted an aura photography but it was pricey so Frej told me my aura is purple instead.
Laundromat! We had never seen one except on tv shows. So we hanged out in it for a little while.
At the school we were staying at.
The demonstration.
Prettiest house.
Place where we felt we had to have beer.
A drooling and very cute dog we met when we had breakfast in a garden.
Visited my ex boyfriend John in Malmö on our way back and had more beer on his rooftop.
Then we went home. The end!
Me this morning.
20s dress & crappy posture.
I made a very simple make up bag yesterday since I gave mine away a few months ago and my bag has been a mess ever since. It’s made from silk that my friend Ullas relative bought in India in the 50s and ribbon that is thrifted somewhere somehow.
This was in Frejs stairway, haha!
- i'm Karin, I'm 23 & live in Göteborg in Sweden. (grew up in Jönköping.) I run an online vintage shop called Lily of the Valley.
I like antique things, I buy way too many books with the last cash I own, I am interested in body modification, art, knowledge and Frej. I am a vegan and pretty involved in environmental issues. I've studied human ecology and CSR, going on to environmental revisioning this fall..
