Vintage Snip of the Week: Silver Bracelet vol. 2
Last week I visited my mum’s cottage in the middle of nowhere, and we decided to do a little Tour de Trinket to a tiny town nearby. Despite the fact that this town has just a handful of inhabitants, their flea markets (yes, in plural!) offer a wide selection of most wonderful things you can possibly imagine.
Instead of mindless splurging, I came home with this beautiful silver bracelet. When I found the bracelet, it was covered with a thick layer of silver oxide. It was all black and grubby, and for awhile I thought there’s no way to restore this item’s beauty. I decided to buy the bracelet though, since it cost me less than a glass of wine in my local pub.
I managed to clean the bracelet, and I must say it’s one of the most beautiful jewels I own. I found out that it was made in 1966 by a Finnish goldsmith company called Salovaara Ky, which is nowadays out of business. I have a feeling that they made similar style rings as well so I guess I should pay a visit to the local antique stores in the near future.

Vintage Snip of the Week: Oxford Shoes
There’s still hope! I found these beautiful Austrian leather Oxford shoes, NWT, from our local thrift store for mere 2 €. And the greatest thing is that even the outer soles of this pair are made of leather (even tho my cobbler kindly pointed out that leather soles aren’t the most suitable option for Finnish weather when fixing my other gorgeous vintage pair). And guess what, this pair has even those air-cushioned insoles. It’s like walking in the air. Love them!

Vintage Snip of the Week: Handbag
Gotta love this gorgeous 1950s boxy handbag I got from Ramona West Vintage Boutique some time ago. Notice the groovy asymmetrical detail. The best part is that the handbag is made of leather and it’s super clean inside.
