Icecream and Pooches~

Today I met up with Helena, whom I hadn't seen in some time, and we went for a walk together with the two dogs she's been doggie-sitting. Both the pooches were adorable and Helena is always a wonderful person to be around. And to make it all even better the weather was lovely and we had some really delicious icecream!

Here's my outfit for the day~

Dress, Bolero, Necklace: Innocent World

Socks: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

(Nevermind the clutter in the background... I had to go into my brother's room since the light is better there.)

Birthday Teaparty~

I found some pictures from the Teaparty last Sunday~

All pics were sneakily stolen from Arathin. Though of course it probably wasn't so sneaky since I asked first.... Doh!

A Spoonful of Sugar~

The last couple of days have been great! I've felt wonderful and I have gotten a lot of work done! Last Saturday was particularly wonderful even though I was so worried that day. The day was spent doing all sorts of things like laying on the grass for hours just talking, eating good food and drinking coffee/tea, watching a movie (Rio - the new animated movie about a blue parrot that can't fly~) and then playing a bunch of fun games at the Arcade. I'd tell you more but... a lady does not kiss and tell :P

To say the least, Saturday was a good day.

Then on Sunday I went to my friend's birthday teaparty and had a lovely time there. Met a bunch of friends and some new people as well~

The rest of the days have also been wonderful, but perhaps not to the same degree as the weekend. Still, I have worked hard and felt unusually happy the entire time. I even made the time to update my hatblog with some new things! More stuff will come when I have figured out names for them but feel free to take a look at the things already up there:

Today I had an appointment with my doctor, got some new sleeping pills and then ran a few errands. I got to pick up both my new glasses today and my new ID card. The weather was lovely, though it was almost unbelievably hot. A cordoroy dress might not have been the best choice, to be honest...

Dress: Victorian Maiden

The Lolita Flea Market 2011

I thought I'd give you a bit more of an update from the Flea Market last Sunday. I had been stressing like crazy the week before, as you all know, but all in all the flea market itself went pretty well for me. I sold two hats, the Peacock Pirate Tricorne and a new Black mini tophat I had finished the night before. I also sold several ribbon hairclips, one corsage and one barrette. Truth to be told I can't even keep track of all the things I got sold. ^^; Also, being the silly air-headed hatter that I am, I didn't even take pictures of all my things to document them before they got sold. So uh... I'll have to hunt down the people who bought them and see if they can't provide me with a photo or two. I really rather like having at least one picture of each of the things I made for Imperial Fiddlesticks Emporium.

Aanyway... Besides the IF stuff I sold, I also sold my Moi-même-Moitié Chandelier dress, my Opera Milles Feuille OP from Alice and the Pirates, a headbow, a pair of socks... I can't remember if that's all of it... Either way, I more than made up for the two dresses I had bought while we were preparing for the Flea Market the day before.

I have been hunting the last week to see if I could find any pictures of myself, or my table, from the Flea Market but in the end I only found these two. What was I doing? Avoiding all cameras or something?

Here I am headless but with my fluffy slippers. I wore my high brown Steampunk boots earlier but I sure as hell wasn't about to stand around in high heels all day. Fluffy slippers are the best~

Aaand... here's a picture of the back of my head. Lovely. XD

Aaand that's all for now, I believe. I have to run off to dry my hair and get ready to go out.

Rentrer en Soi - Last Scene

I hadn't listened to this song in years. :3

Körsbärsblommans Dag

Here are some photos I found of myself from the Cherry blossom event in Kungsträdgården~ Shamelessly taken from Amanda and http://sugarcupcakel.blogspot.com/

Cherryblossoms and Fleemarket Finds~

The last week or so I have been busy busy so I haven't been able to post much here. :3 I had to finish a bunch of hats and accessories for yesterday's Lolita Flea market and I was so very stressed out. But even though I had very little time to get a lot of work done, I did allow myself to go out with some friends and enjoy myself on a few occasions. 'Twas probably just as well, otherwise I might have gone mad! XD

Last Wednesday for example I went into town and met Kersti for a little shopping and a sort-of photoshoot. It was very relaxed and fun and it was so nice to see her again! I opted to wear my favorite "Mad Hatter" outfit since I had yet to get any good pictures of it.

Here are a few pictures that were taken that day. More will come when I have time.

Then last Saturday there was an event in a park in Stockholm called Körsbärsblommans Dag. It is a big event that happens every year when the cherry blossoms are blooming. There was a lot of fun and games, shops, food, performances, a Kimono "fashion show", a cosplay show and more. I have been going to this event every year for the last four years so I didn't want to miss it no matter how busy I've been.

I met up with Tess and Amanda, and one of their friends whom I can't remember the name of (Sorry!).

We walked around there for a while, ate icecream and was photographed by a million different people but then I saw something that made me completely sick to my stomach so we decided to leave early. We were only there for about an hour. A shame, really, but what do you do when you're literally shaking and have a hard time standing up?

After leaving Kungsträdgården we went to Viola Lahger where I was finally able to relax somewhat. We chatted with Tea and the new girl (Still can't remember her name!) bought her very first corset! Go you! Then Varga came along after a while with a very cuddly man at her heel. We approve! He even tried on a corset!

Anyway... God, I'm totally rambling, aren't I? -.-.... But after being in the store for a while I gathered up all my hats and ran home for a quick bite to eat before rushing off to Tokyo Stop to prepare for the Flea market. I had promised myself not to buy anything, and save all the money I got from selling my own things for our trip to Paris, but after feeling so iffy for most of the day I decided I was allowed to spoil myself. Especially since one of the other sellers, Vanessa, had two dresses that were absolutely to die for!

That's how I usually make myself feel better by the way - I shop!

Here are the dresses I bought:

A pink-ish dreamy thing in chiffon with a rose pattern from Innocent World. It will be replacing my other pink dress once I get it sold.

And a brown/beige cordoroy dress from Mary Magdalene. I have wanted this dress for... god knows how long and now I finally have it!

I spent the rest of the Saturday, well into the night, finishing off even more hats and corsages to sell.

The Fleemarket on Sunday went well for me, I got quite a few things sold so now I have money! yay! More information about that will come when I have managed to scavenge some pictures~ I didn't bring my own camera, sadly.

Now I'm going to sit back with my tea and try to relax, no matter how hard that might be. Emotional turmoil for the win, eh? Bah, enough of that.

Until next time~
