wedding Sosuli and hat boxes

Hi little foxes! How are you? : )
It seems to be that I have even 90 followers at the moment! Thank you very much! In fact I have been thinking about doing a simple giveaway when my blog has one hundred (lovely) followers. I already have an idea for that, although it is a bit modest thingie, hehe... :---) Let`s say modest, but made with love!

I feel like posting some photos again, so here we go! The quality and the colours might be quite poor, because I took the photos in evening and the lightning in my room is just really bad... : (



Although I promised myself that I wouldn`t buy anything new for a while, I have gotten a couple new things... For instance I finally got lovely wedding Sosuli moomin cup..! I love it, just too cute haha (look at her sparkling eyes)! :D My grandma was very sweet and bought the cup for me, she also let me choose another cup and I ended up taking Hosuli, who is Sosuli`s husband. (I know, I sound like an crazy cat lady who is talking about her kittens, haha! :'))


Today I got this pretty box! There were 3 sizes of this box and I would have wanted to buy the biggest size (it was more like an hat box), but sadly this colour was almost sold out and there was only the smallest box left. Besides when I was paying for this box I suddenly realized that I had forgotten my wallet home... : D It was a little embarrassing because I had to run out of the store and ask my mum to lend me some money! Hat boxes are really pretty, sadly I don`t own any real one, new or old!


It seems to be that I am always talking about hair, sorry about that... But my hair (well, mostly my hair ends) is turning reddish again, aaght..! Going back to your natural hair colour seems to be much harder than I thought, sigh...
When I had orange hair I used to wash my hair with (in the picture above) a colour hair conditioner that added more orange shade on my hair so my hair colour didn`t fade out so quickly. For already a while I had been wondering what would happen if I tried similar kind of conditioner that is meant for brown/dark brown hair. Finally I got quite curious and I actually bought the conditioner, though I was suspicious about the results... My hair is already so faded and even has a couple of centimetres my own colour (the conditioner is meant for dyed hair) so I thought that the whole thing would likely be just a disaster. ..But surprisingly the result was ok! The conditioner really made my haircolour a bit cooler and darker, and it didn`t cause spots or anything! Oh-so-handy, hehe! ; D
(And oh, the photo above is also taken before I tried the conditioner so it doesn`t show the result! : ))





In the end two sketchbook pages, I have been horribly lazy and it has been ages since I painted something proper! : ( Tomorrow we are going to my family`s cottage (again), maybe I`ll manage to continue my newest painting there..!

  1. Sosulimuki on niin suloinen:) Veljeni vaimolla on kotonaan kaappi täynnä muumimukeja ihan sieltä vanhimmista ja harvinaisimmista näihin uusiin ja olen niistä joka kerta niin kateellinen että ärsyttää:D

    Aurinkolasitytön heilutus on hauska:)! Tulee mieleen joku kesäjuhlissa seisoskelu, kakun venailu ja kameralle vilkuttelu, en tiedä miksi:)

  3. Maiju: Samaa mieltä olen, kun näin sen ensi kertaa jossain niin alkoi ihan omatkin silmät Sosulin tapaa kimmeltää, hehe! : ) Ja äääh, itsekin kuolisin varmasti tuollaisessa paikassa kateuteen, itselläni on melko uusia kaikki mukini kun vasta joskus yläasteella aloin niitä kerätä, nyyh....

    Hihii, ihanaa, että tykkäät! : ) Mulle tulee tosta mieleen joku ihme agenttijuttu, varmaan lähinnä aurinkolaseista haha!

    Mayuko-san: especially old hat boxes are gorgeous, they are just often so expensive and/or in a bad condition... : (
