Oh the pretty ♥

So yes, I did buy new shoes today :')
( the 'reasonable' choise? )

And then headed to the flea market, where I purchased two old books.

First one is more for reading, thought the cover captured my eye first (what's that, a toy reindeer? XD)
printed in 1948 and the name of the original story is Death In The Doll's House.
( don't try to steal my reindeer, you wench! )

And the other one I MIGHT read but I bought it more for just being such a charming, pretty book. :9
From 1958, illustrated by Maija Karma (a known illustrator, I think). Title translates as Lotta of Vuorilinna.
The Cover


( the inside cover pages and illustrations are teh pretty as well. )

Weren't those guys in the last one just adorable ♥
Talking of adorable, on the title page I found this little guy, probably drawn by a past owner?
Don't tell me this is The Beatles fanart from -64, I mean, looking at pics of them back then...hm. =3=
( d'aaw )
