Bachelor Party

Once rummaging together in Uusiokeskus my friend spotted these glasses that have been used very little. Our guess was that they are from the 60's even late 50's. They surely tickle the male imagination and I can see the curly haired Tony Curtis having a refreshing drink on a boat deck!

But that's not all. With these glasses things are getting even better. Once you begin drinking the naughty secret will be reveiled as almost naked pin-up girls begin to appear.

vAVAvOOM!

OBEY YOUR THIRST HONEY!

Locality rules

During the golden era of domestic holidays at the 60's and 70's most of the souveniers were produced locally. If you are a wannabe hipster those souveniers are the ones you should collect! This fab apron got company from fabulous alike fruit knives which I fixed into hunky dory condition with my mum's inherited  cleaning recipe for stainless steel:

"Put stainless steel items in a kettle, add water and a spoonful of ordinary washing powder. Bring to boil. This easily boils over so don't leave the kettle even for a minute!

Rinse the items and wipe dry and clean with a tea towel. Works wonders every time!"

With these items I couldn't let the handles touch boiling water as otherwise the old plastic could have melted or got damaged.

From the same flea market I also found quite a romantic copper napkin holder presenting local sights. And a weird piece of art that I'm going to utilise further...



These items are ideal to be used as butter knives at breakfast on individual plates or for eating cheeses and desserts. I find these shiny stainless steel knives with the toffee coloured wood imitation handles really yammy!
