Dawn

Rickard woke me up before seven, when he left for work (I asked him to) and now I have lots of time until 8.30 when I wake Maja; unless she wakes up earlier. And I love these lonely mornings. I can do whatever I want, as long as it's pretty quiet and soon I will see the sun rise. That is what I like most; seeing the sky turn gradually lighter in the morning. Most of our windows face east, so I have a wonderful view.

ooh!

I think I want these (Leg Avenue). Yes, they have real bells, and yes, you are permitted to mock me.

More clothing from the museum

Silk jacket c. 1725-1775

Hat from the 1870s

Black and red bonnet from 1884.

Weirdly decorated bonnet from the 1840s.

Really cool hat from 1912.

Black velvet hat from c. 1890. I think I want it; it has a pink flower and lots of sequins too.

Black straw hat from 1911.

Straw bonnet with pink silk and flowers; from 1856.

1820s lace cap.

:(

I think I am getting a cold too.
And it hurts a lot in more places than I can mention.

A cute Maja picture

This is Maja pretending to be Lisabet, the little sister of Madicken, one of Astrid Lindgren less well known characters (outside Sweden that is). The lovely wool dress is a gift from clothsprogs
