Remember this painting? I made it in exchange for the She-Ra Crystal Castle and a whole bunch of the dolls. I never had any She-Ra toys growing up but I’m a huge fan. When I was a kid I cut out the Crystal Castle, dolls and horses from a toy catalogue and played with them like teeny tiny paper dolls.

I did a huge, amazing toy trade with Nathalie, who I got this from, many years ago when I was still living at home, but I turned down the She-Ra stuff because I simply didn’t have room. It’s been nagging me ever since so about seven years later I finally asked if she still had it and would be willing to trade, and now it’s mine! I still want some more dolls and horses, especially my favourite Catra, but I’m so happy I have all this.

I’ve been cleaning and fixing everything up and now it’s all done. There are few things I like as much as cleaning and restoring toys.

A few old photos of what I think is probably the best hair I ever had. This was back in 2004 so I would have been about 19. Sadly I’m now allergic to hairdye and can never have black hair again. These photos were actually taken after my first allergic reaction.

Though even if I could dye my hair again I’m not sure I could do it. I’ve come to identify so strongly as a blonde that I’d feel totally weird about it.

I could of course cut my hair this short again, but I just don’t think it would have the same effect with blonde hair.

Random My Little Pony photo documentation before packing this one away! I don’t have any room to display my ponies so I don’t really buy them anymore, only at flea markets if they are cheap, in great condition and a pony I especially like. This one happened to be all of the above.

A few random photos Henrik has taken lately.

This super glamorous negligee was a surprise gift from Garb-Oh Vintage, and a very welcome one since my wardrobe is very lacking in the sleepwear department! This babydoll that I’ve worn since I was a kid finally gave out some months ago and I’ve been nightgownless since.

I’ve never had a full length fancy nightgown like this before and I love it!

Here are some photos Henrik snapped when we visited the Stockholm International Antiques Fair this weekend.

It’s always lots of fun to visit, so much to see! I ended up buying a wonderful pair of fuchsia suede gloves and two art deco dress clips.

I received this 40s hat as a gift from the quite fantastic Etsy shop Garb-Oh Vintage. I love these “halo” hats so it was just perfect! I also got the most wonderful nightgown, but I’ll have to show that another time.

I’m also wearing an 80s does 40s dress from Etsy, flea market earrings and one of my grandmother’s brooches.

I just happened across this photo somewhere on tumblr of myself as Sandman’s Delirium, and was reminded of this photoshoot. The photos were taken by the excellent Liselotte Eriksson in the summer of 2003, almost ten years ago now! I think there were more photos but these are all I could find on my computer.

I made another hat, and this time I made two so I could sell one! One of the hats is available in my Etsy shop.
