There are about 5 buildings where I go every day. My life is quite simple o_O
One of them is the central railway station, where I have to change from train to metro or vice versa. For a long long time I never noticed these lamps and their beauty, but now I look at them every day. In awe. Simply the most gorgeous lamps I know :) I'm a lamp freak. But I'm a little sad that I don't know who designed these. Possibly Eliel Saarinen, who's the architect of the central railway station.
His son, Eero Saarinen, also became an architect. He designed these classics and monuments (I hate to use other people's pictures, but now I just have to. One day I'll go to these places / buy those furniture and capture them myself):
Can there be a better word to describe an arm chair's comfiness than womb? :) No.

Origami snow
I got this beautiful origami snowflake / flower from my dear friend one day. I can't believe how someone can have the patience to do something like that, but I'm happy that she did. I just have to figure out a new place for it, because it wouldn't stay on the wall with the power of Jesus tape.

Tokyo's Christmas Market
The amount of ooooohs and aawwwws was quite big in this Christmas Jumble Sale where we went with my friend one day. TaiK is the art and design university in Finland and this sale was organised by them. I didn't buy anything because I had 0 € in cash :( Maybe that was ment to be, because otherwise I would've lost all my money. Here's some evidence of the goodies I saw. I especially loved these Vesa Sammalisto's drawings. He sold these city prints there for 70 €. Huuuuuge prints. I'd die for one to hang on my wall... He's so freaking talented. He even did the cover of Monocle's Finland edition! Monocle! www.vesasammalisto.com
Another yummy staff I saw were these glass gummy bears (plus other yummies) turned into jewelry:
Bad Face Day paper bags and disgusting underwear by Tärähtäneet Ämmät /Nutty Tarts:
Jumbo scarfs from textile industry's leftover tricot by Lankasiipi
Omstart - Second Hand Made
And sugar on the bottom: Calendar with hilarious pictures of toilet writings (kalenteriprojekti.wordpress.com)
For example "Pussy tastes like fish".
