Wanhan ajan lelumarkkinat - Olde time toy fair

Aina jotakin tarttuu markkinoilta mukaan vaikka oikeasti en mitään tarvitse...

The annual Olde time toy fair was organized in the sleepy little town of Forssa last Sunday (not a sponsored link) and although I really don't need anything, I knew that I would end up buying a little something. Although the name suggests it's only about old toys, it really is mostly about doll's house items.

Sweaters

Näitä kauniita ja taidokkaasti neulottuja villapaitoja ei voinut ohittaa.

There was no way I could pass by these skillfully knitted sweaters. The one on the left is a traditional Ostrobothnian Jussi-sweater, often worn by men. Learn more about the Jussi-sweater (not a sponsored link).

Yoghurts

Pari jugurttipurkkia. / A couple of Finnish yoghurt tubs.

Raffle prizes

Arpajaisvoittoja.

Members of the Finnish Doll's House Association (link only in Finnish and it's not sponsored) always attend all toy and doll's house fairs in the country with a stand of their own. There are already over 1,200 members in the association, which is a lot in a country with a population of 5.5 million. Anyway, they always organize raffles in the fairs and I won these: scales, a bottle of disinfectant, a mask, and some rubber gloves.

The two sweaters are gorgeous. I, too, would not have left them.
I wish there were fairs like this one here in my country.

Hugs, Drora

What lovely items you treated yourself to! The sweaters are adorable! And amazing to know that minis are still so popular in Finland! The population is not so huge but they are very smart!
