The past weekend my boyfriend and some work colleagues had an opening of an unused part of the houses of Hunneberg. The old barn which before only was used as storage space, had been cleaned out and re-made into a showroom.

Now they showcase pictures of the houses and people living there 80 years ago in the barn.

It was a successful opening and one of the local historical enthusiasts held a speech and tought the audience about the houses history.

The view from the street.

The  weather was lovely and quite a few people come to listen and look at the pictures.

Inside one of the houses we served coffee and cookies.

Inside one of the little shops.

There even was a lady singing from a door over our heads.

The showcase itself.

Some books about Linköping, and the history of the town and the street of Hunneberg.

I particularily like this photo of a family (?) of women taken in 1929. Sadly this picture was not amongst those choosen to be in the showcase.But as a mad historical seamstress, and the girlfriend of one of the people responsible for the exhibithion, I decided to use the oportunity…

… And made a copy of the dress the teenage girl in the photo is wearing.

And then I got it accepted, and shown as a part of the exhibition.

I will tell you more about the dress and show you more photos of it in my next post.
