I was going to take pics of my outfit yesterday but I never did so I only have the detail picz… Wore a glittery 60s dress & purple zebra patterned stockings I found along with the black/white ones that I gave Frej instead.
Yesterday I got a bookshelf!! Now there is actually some kind of order, and light, in my room again! (The books were piled up in my window before and didn’t let all the daylight in…) I found it too at Ebbes hörna, for 75 kr, carried it home and noticed that the metal pieces you have to put the shelves on, were missing. Got terribly cranky, went back, no metal bars, they gave me a few plugs to try to use instead, went back home, plugs didn’t work, Frej & I put the shelves up hanging on long screws instead and it seems to be working. Hopefully it won’t fall apart completely anyway! Then I realised I need a bigger bookshelf but oh well…
Great pleasure was taken in alphabetizing the books! I worked in an antique bookshop, Lectura in Jönköping, for a few weeks when I was about 16-17, when you are supposed to try a job for school. Best thing ever! I got to alphabetize everything in each subject & in the storage room aswell. Those were the days…
Ziggy and a wonderful crochet quilt that Susanne’s grandmother has made.
Kitchen! I painted the table this weekend, think I mentioned it before.
Nick with prizes
I don’t know the word for the kind of paint I used for the table, the kind you can draw on with chalk crayons anyway. This is my tea & my course litterature on building ecological cities.
Suss & I playing
Susanne also brought home a shelf and a lot of christmas decorations (they are teaming up on me in the collective on wanting christmas decorations here, I’d rather not since I find them kind of annoying but I bow to the majority I guess)
Been at the doctor’s again today. He said I can’t sit for more than 30 minutes straight without stretching, but I can’t even sit 10 minutes period so that’s not hard to do. Got another kind of supportive device
I’m listening to a wonderful radio program about Marianne Faithfull. (love swedish radio) / Am pretty sure that I have carpal tunnel syndrome full out, fuck! / Ziggy is a fantastic kitten! / I make smoothies all the time now, how could I fall out of that habit when it’s so good? / I love my bed. /
This is my favourite song with Marianne. (not only because it’s a Nick Cave collaboration I promise!) Listen to it.
Susanne and I redecorated the entire living room and kitchen yesterday during some energy rush! Now we’ve got a crafting corner and lots of free space which is great! +++ I’ve been collecting apples all over town; in parks and on my school yard, free food rules (haven’t taken any from people’s gardens though I really feel like it when people just leave their apples and pears to rot – even though they’re probably buying apples in the stores!) +++ Liking my new routines a lot +++
i'm Karin, I'm 23 & live in Göteborg in Sweden. I run a vintage shop called Lily of the Valley. I like antique things, I buy way too many books with the last cash I own, I like drinking tea though I recently quit caffeine, 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.
