I found this great pattern on a paper inside a chocolate box. I want it on my walls!

I bought this art deco clip as a Christmas present for myself. It reminds me of morse code!


Another Christmas present, the Miss Astronaut repro Barbie.


Got new headphones.


Outfit. Skirt from Etsy and blouse handed down from my mum via my sister. Tie borrowed from Henrik.


…and one of my art deco clips.


The final progress photo of this painting.

Face mask!


Vanity treasures from Stockholm vintage shop Old Touch. Amazing Marinello cosmetics bottle and a set of Fragonard perfume samples which I’m guessing is from the 40s.

There was something so otherworldly about this sight for some reason. At first I thought the dog was a statue.


Making pie!

I love your “slice of life” posts! What’s The Power of Glamour about? Coffee table book?

Hi there, your paintings are lovely and your blog is so very inspirational :) Thank you for sharing these photos!

I particularly love the painting of a woman with black hair – it seems to be very Art Deco.

I like your new paintings.

I share your love of dolls, I recently bought a Victorian looking doll. I’m going to be buying her a Victorian trunk and start her wardrobe selection.

Love your instagram posts. I collect perfume bottles so i’m a bit envious of you.

I just realized the smoke coming out of her nose part and it is looking great and well done!

johanna, ive been following for some time. i want to thank you for sharing the snapshots from your life. im inspired by your attention to small pleasures, details, and beauty as an integral part of your surroundings, person, and way of life. thank you! xo

Thank you!

Jennifer: The Power of Glamour is about glamorous women of the 30s. It’s not quite a coffee table book, it’s not huge and there’s more text than pictures.
