Ihmisell\u00e4 on<\/span> luontainen tarve ker\u00e4ill\u00e4 asioita. Joku ker\u00e4ilee postimerkkej\u00e4, joku Arabian kannuja, kolmas ker\u00e4ilee kuuluisuuksien nimikirjoituksia ja nelj\u00e4s leimoja kanta-asiakastarjous-lipukkeisiin. Toiset ker\u00e4ilev\u00e4t vain yht\u00e4 tietty\u00e4 artikkelia ja toiset ker\u00e4ilev\u00e4t kaikkea mahdollista. Is\u00e4ni on<\/span> <\/span>lapsuudessaan ker\u00e4illyt tulitikkuaskien kansia. Ik\u00e4v\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 ne vihkoon s\u00e4ntillisesti liimatut, kauniit kannet taisivat menn\u00e4 lapsuudessani roskiin. S\u00e4\u00e4li. Itse ker\u00e4ilin kiiltokuvia, kauniita kuvioituja ja muotoonleikattuja muistivihkojen sivuja, idolien kuvia ja postimerkkej\u00e4. \u00c4itini ker\u00e4\u00e4 posliinia <\/span>ja vanhoja kudonnaisia.

Ker\u00e4\u00e4minen taitaa<\/span> siis kulkea suvussa. Nykyisin ker\u00e4\u00e4n vanhoja hattuja ja iltalaukkuja, vanhoja kauniita naisten nylon-sukkia ja sukkahousuja pakkauksissaan, vintage-k\u00e4sineit\u00e4, suruhuntuja, vanhoja valokuvia (etenkin sellaisia joissa on polkupy\u00f6r\u00e4) sek\u00e4 kaikkea sekalaista mik\u00e4 liittyy jollain tavalla pukeutumiseen tai kauneudenhoitoon. Silloin t\u00e4ll\u00f6in kartutan my\u00f6s varastojani pellavaisista liinoista ja<\/span> muista kauniista kudonnaisista. H\u00e4pe\u00e4kseni pit\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6s tunnustaa ett\u00e4 tunnun ker\u00e4ilev\u00e4n kankaita sill\u00e4 ne tuntuvat kaapissa vain lis\u00e4\u00e4ntyv\u00e4n.<\/span>

Jokin aika<\/span> sitten For\u00eat Noire teki postauksen omista ker\u00e4ilykohteistaan<\/a>. Siin\u00e4 yhteydess\u00e4 main<\/span>itsin ker\u00e4ilev\u00e4ni vanhoja puuterirasioita ja h\u00e4n esitti toiveen n\u00e4hd\u00e4 niit\u00e4 joskus. Joten t\u00e4ss\u00e4p\u00e4 niit\u00e4. Muistin ett\u00e4 niit\u00e4 olisi ollut kuusi mutta l\u00f6ysin vain viisi. Ehk\u00e4 muistin sitten v\u00e4\u00e4rin.<\/p>\n

Ensimm\u00e4inen ostamani<\/span> puuterirasia on tuo helmi\u00e4ispintainen. Se on samalla my\u00f6s n\u00e4ist\u00e4 suurin. Punainen rasia on mummuni j\u00e4\u00e4mist\u00f6ist\u00e4 ja k\u00e4sitt\u00e4\u00e4kseni se oli h\u00e4nell\u00e4 k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 l\u00e4hestulkoon viimeisiin p\u00e4iviins\u00e4 saakka. Jos muistan oikein niin tuo rasia jossa on J-kirjain on Etel\u00e4-Englannista paikalliselta per\u00e4kontti-kirppikselt\u00e4 (=car boot sales) joita j\u00e4rjestet\u00e4\u00e4n siell\u00e4 l\u00e4hes joka viikonloppu. Useat oikeasti vanhat puuterirasiat on tarkoitettu nimenomaan irtopuuterille. Siksi niiss\u00e4 on tuollainen kankainen verkko kannen alla. Monesti niiss\u00e4 on viel\u00e4 puuteria j\u00e4ljell\u00e4. En suosittele kokeilemaan sen toimivuutta sill\u00e4 puuteri saattaa olla vuosikymmeni\u00e4 vanhaa eik\u00e4 ehk\u00e4 en\u00e4\u00e4 hygieenist\u00e4. Keskimm\u00e4isest\u00e4 kuvasta voi n\u00e4hd\u00e4 puuterirasian mekanismin. Eli varsinaisen kannen alla on v\u00e4likansi jonka p\u00e4\u00e4lle tulee ohut samettimainen vippa. Vippaa n\u00e4iss\u00e4 rasioissa ei yleens\u00e4 ole en\u00e4\u00e4 tallella. V\u00e4likansi on yleens\u00e4 kiinni pienell\u00e4 salvalla jota painamalla kannen saa auki. V\u00e4likannen alla on sitten tuo puuvillainen verkko jonka l\u00e4pi puuteria otetaan vippaan. Kannessa tietenkin on my\u00f6s peili puuterin laittamista varten. 20-luvulla puuterin ja huulipunan lis\u00e4\u00e4minen julkisella paikalla oli eritt\u00e4in muodikasta, mutta my\u00f6s hieman paheellista.<\/p>\n

Alimman kuvan<\/span> huulipunat ovat my\u00f6s mummuni j\u00e4\u00e4mist\u00f6j\u00e4. Kummassakin on huulipunaa viel\u00e4 j\u00e4ljell\u00e4, tosin eip\u00e4 sek\u00e4\u00e4n ole k\u00e4ytt\u00f6kepoista en\u00e4\u00e4. En vain raaski heitt\u00e4\u00e4 n\u00e4it\u00e4 ihanuuksia pois. Kaksiv\u00e4rinen metallinen hylsy on Revlonin. Katsokaa miten tyylik\u00e4s ja himme\u00e4sti hohtava viimeistely! Pienempi kirkas muovikorkkinen hylsy on Max Factorin. Ei mit\u00e4\u00e4n k\u00e4sityst\u00e4 milt\u00e4 aikakaudelta n\u00e4m\u00e4 punat ovat, mutta veikkaan 70-lukua. Miksei nyky\u00e4\u00e4n tehd\u00e4 noin kauniita huulipunia?<\/p>\n

Mit\u00e4 sin\u00e4 ker\u00e4\u00e4t?<\/span><\/p>\n

IN ENGLISH<\/span>
People have<\/span> natural need to collect things. Someone collects stamps, someone Arabia dishes, third one collects autographs from celebrities and fourth collects stamps for loyal customer-vouchers. Some people collect only one particular item and some collect anything you can imagine. My dad used to collect matchbox covers as a kid. Unfortunately those nicely glued, pretty covers must have gone to rubbish when I was a kid. That’s a pitty. In my own childhood I used to collect pictures of my idols, stamps and pretty leafs of notebooks. My mum collects porcellain and old linen (like table cloths etc) <\/span>

So collecting<\/span> runs in our family. Nowadays I collect old hats and purses, pretty old womens stockings and tights in their original packages, vintage gloves, mourning veils, old photos (especially the ones with bicycle in them) and anything and everything that relates to clothing and beautyfying. Occasionally I also get some old linen cloths etc. And I’m ashamed to admit that I seem to collect also fabrics, because they only seem to multiply in my drawer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some time <\/span>ago For\u00eat Noire wrote a post of her collections<\/a>. On that post I mentioned that I collect old powder cases and she made a wish to see some of those someday. So here we go. I remembered that I have 6 of them but I only found 5 so I guess I remembered wrong.<\/p>\n

<\/span>First powder case<\/span> I bought is that mother-of-pearl-covered. It is also the largest of these. Red one is from my grandmother and I believe she used it almost till the end of her days. If I remember correctly the case with letter J is from Southern England, from a local car boot sales. Many really old cases are usually meant for loose powder. That’s why they have that fabric-net on them. In many cases you can still see some powder left. But I don’t recommend you test it. It might be decades old and probably not very hygienic anymore. From the photo in the middle you can see the mechanism. Under the lid is a place for powder puff, which usually is lost. Then there is middle lic that is closed by a small latch. when you press the latch, lid opens. Under that you can see that fabric-net and powder comes through it. Powder cases also have a mirror on the lid for adding powder. In the 20’s it was popular to add powder or lipstick in public, and it was also little bit wicked.
<\/span>
Lipsticks on<\/span> the bottom photo are both also from my grandmum. They both have lipstick left, but not usable anymore. I just can’t throw these pretty cases into rubbish. Two-coloured metal lipstick case is Revlon. Look how stylish and velvetty finish! Smaller case with clear plastic cap is from Max Factor. I have no idea how old these are but I am guessing they are from 70’s. Howcome they don’t make this pretty lipstick cases anymore?
