Uusi yritys. Näidenkin kuvien oli tarkoitus olla edellisessä julkaisussa. Uusia tapahtumiakin luvassa, kun erään ylioppilaan juhlat on vietetty. Nähdään!

Kesätapahtumat korkattu. Ihana sää, kivoja kohtaamisia, vanhoja ja uusia asiakkaita, hyvä meininki ja vähän, m***a huonoja kuvia. Yksi asiakas huuteli ohi mennessään, että osti viime kesänä kaulakorun, jota käytti koko kesän ja että täytyykin taas kaivaa se esille kun kesäkin on näköjään täällä! Oli ihana saada palautetta, kiitos!

Department store wax mannequins melting during a heatwave in 1929.

This photograph was originally published in the June 1, 1929 issue of “The Sphere,” a British newspaper that ran from 1900 to the 1960s. The image was included in a “News of the Week” section where it carried the caption:
“WILTING LILIES: Two wax bathing bells in New Bridge Street register extreme depression owing to the heat-wave. Even human, as well as waxen, beauties have felt apt to wilt in the recent burst of hot weather.”

"The reflector is a Finnish creation, invented by a farmer Mr. Arvi Lehti from Pertteli, a small township in Western Finland. The inventor did not consider pedestrian safety when creating the first reflectors: he simply wished to protect his horse carts and carriages. Reflectors were introduced in 1960 in Finland"

"Return of light" is my version of Arvi's invention, clever way to be seen during these dark times.
