There’s an advantages in having your internet connection down. Yesterday, I managed to sort through hundreds of photographs and have them edited for eight separate posts! Yay me!
As you know, it’s already tradition for me to go to Lapland for the month of August and sell my crafts over there. My “tour” finishes on Old Market Square Carnival of Rovaniemi and last year there, I found about a vintage store called Luna Second Hand. I chatted with the owner and asked if I could drop by and take photos for my blog. She gracefully agreed and now, almost a year later, here’s the story:
I love the well-organized sales till (?). Usually in a second hand stores this area is an after thought like “oops I guess we have to charge people” kind of way. Here the shop has a brand.
This is the view when you step in. On the right you can see a small seamstress studio where you can get your items altered. Convenient!
Rows and rows of dresses? Thankyousoverymuchyesplease. There are even vintage wedding dresses and my favourite was this one:
The lace with those pearly circles is just beautiful.
Isn’t a navy dress a must for every woman? I dubbed this “Beyoncé” as I thought it looked like something she would wear and/or designed with her mother.
Luna also sells shoes and accessories. Another find from my first ever Old Market was the brand Karkkilakko which makes candy inspired jewellery. And as you know, I and candy get along like a house on fire.
If I were more dainty and lady-like, I’d rock the hell out of this dress. I mean, look at the embroidery! It’s so purrr-ty! The next dress was admired by both of us. The swirly hem and the print are gorgeous.
Another proof of my masterful photography skills ;D
If you are visiting Rovaniemi you should drop by at Luna too. Here’s the map to help you out:
Till next time!
