Museums and libraries.

On Saturday I went to Helsinki to see Tiia and Mari. We went tosee the Made in Helsinkin 1700-2012 in Hakasalmi villa. It was lovely. I loved the dresses and hats and other fabric items and of course the furniture. The exhibiton wa truly deligthful, although I didn't like the 1970s part too much. If you are in Helsinki area go see this thing.

Lolita blog carnival: If I had a lolita themed cafe...

My lolita cafe by mimielizabetha featuring victorian button boots

My lolita teahouse would be rather the eccentric place. The decor woul feature old tapestry designs, mismatched antique chairs and tables and dolls, teddy bears and other old oddities. My teasets would be as eclectic as the decor.

The menu would feature differents  sorts of sweet treats, chocolate deligths and salty snacks, and of course tea in many many blends, classic and new. It could be had either brewed to pefection in a pot or in a samovar. My menu would change with the seasons to match the current ambience. During summer strawberries and fresh fruit, spice cakes and ginger breads during winter.

The wait staff would wear simple coordinates of black and white one pieces and victorianesque shoes with their choice of simple headwear and maybe aprons to protect the clothes against spills.
