FINNISHED!

New Home for RokRokInc.

I was with RokRokInc. at the Kattilahalli flea market two times now and I have to say: I like! The atmosphere is laid back, people relaxed and the organisation really nice (also very important for me).

And of course, the fact that it is a flea market is also perfect for RokRokInc. So, I think I'll make Kattilahalli RokRokInc. Outlet's new home base. See you there!

Hot Stuff 2014

I can't believe how lucky I was during this one year spent in Helsinki...at least considering all the great shizz I found from the flea markets. Obviously this is not all but maybe the higlights at least. How could I ever after this go back to "normal shopping"??

DDR is Back!

I found old DDR stamps here in Helsinki! ...Cool, historic and a bit creepy as well... So hmm, what should I do with these? I don't have clear vision yet. Any ideas?

Do It Yourself: An Easy Button Tree!

I did this how to video for my other job's advent calendar but works here as well. So that's why the texts are in Finnish but actually you don't need them. Try it, it's super easy!

Make Boost!

It's been a while but now I'll go active again! I'll take part in the Naisten Joulumessut (Women's Christmas Fair) in Helsinki this year and  I've been busy making all kinds of exiting new stuff for the happening. ...The daytime I work at the office but the evenings I sit at the kitchen table until late. I'm sooo happy to have the "make-boost" again! You all in Helsinki have to come and check out the newest creations!

I have a fusion kitchen: partly kitchen, partly work space!

 

...Anyway, I have to say I'm happy to be a part particular of this x-mas fair since the organiser is a nonprofit organisation that strives for female equality. Since the 1969 that is actually quite well accomplished among the Finnish population but today their objective is also to work towards the female equality among the immigrants as well. Check the website or Facebook for dates and opening times.

Photo Shoot Making Off

During my trip at Tampere we took some midnight photos for RokRokInc. with my brother's girlfriend Maija who here is my model. So, soon I'll get the pics done but until the whole autumn album is ready you can join us for slav squatting like we did while having a break from our oh so professional photo shoot. :D

@Tampere

On Saturday I had a nice relaxed day in Tampere at a cute little happening. It was great just to hang out with my friend Maija and meet friendly people. I like!

In addition to that we: had an autumn party, ate well in the garden, picked some lingonberries in the forest and took some fall "fashion" pics for RokRokInc. So, it was a weekend well spent and you'll get to see the photos soon...exiting!

...And by a couple of chances RokRokInc. game piece earrings ended up cheering up also the Finnish Minister of Housing and Culture Pia Viitanen's day. Cool!

70's vibe patch jar

I got an inspiration from my mom's old leather patch bag to make her for her 60th birthday this leather covered patch jar and I think it's kind of cute. I'm not sure what is it for really but I guess you could keep there for example your sushi sticks, pencils, make up brushes, knitting needles or what ever. :)

...And by the way, if you're now thinking it was however maybe not enough for "round numbers", I should let you know that I also made her a memory necklace out of a lace band that she made as a ten year old school girl but I just didn't have time to take a picture of that. (Well, and also that came with a family trip to Barcelona.)

Go Kumpula!

Yesterday was a great day at Kumpula Street Festival. Sun was shining full on and I was having my table for the first time in Finland. And it was fun! I just love talking to people and I love if they love my creations. :) Thank you all so much!

Now as I have more room in my boxes I can again create something new for you guys. I was planning maybe next weekend would be my "work" weekend at the jewellery shop. 

Read more on the festival on UrbanToursHelsinki.


Kumpula Street Festival is a warm hearted block festival with music,
fleamarket and great atmosphere in Helsinki. I recommend!
