Number 3 from my guns in every day life series. I’m a BB gun owner so I know what it is like when it malfunctions and the little plastic balls go everywhere. #gunsineverydaylife #gunsafety #nomoreguns #vintagepaper #oldletters #politicalcollage #art #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #collage #collageart #analogcollage #collagenottinghill #loveanalogcollage #collagist #handmadecollage #contemporarycollage #cutandpaste #thecollagetemple #artistofinstagram #コラージ#collageoftheday #twincitiescollagecollective #design #theinternationalcollageguild#contemporarycollagemagazine #edinburghcollagecollective #papersource #analogcollagecommunity #xacto https://www.instagram.com/p/CklGC0bKtjw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is letter number 27, and the last letter in the first envelope of letters I have. 🌸⁠ ⁠ The first envelope contains the letters that Elfriede and Johan sent to each other during their first three months of acquaintance, april - juni 1920. In total I have 20 envelopes with around 3 - 30 letters in each that were sent between 1920 - 1941. 🍃 ⁠ ⁠ To maybe clarify some confusion. Johan goes by several names in the letters. Johan, Olle and Hanni. Olle being a nickname derived from his last name, but also a very common Swedish name. 📝⁠ ⁠ Ängelholm 29/6 - 1920 - From Johan.⁠ ⁠ "Dear Elfriede!⁠ ⁠ Your letter makes me happy. Many thanks. ⁠ I could eat pancakes with lingonberries ⁠ for every meal.⁠ ⁠ I have only a few minutes at my disposal⁠ and that's why I have to keep it short.⁠ ⁠ Next Sunday at 10:27 I will arrive at Ovesholm. You meet me, and and we'll walk to Lille Paris, right? As you⁠ want!⁠ ⁠ Greetings and goodbye!⁠ Hanni" 🌸⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #truelove #oldletters #geneology #lettersfromourpast #1900s #1900 #1920s #1920 #history #lovestyory #ancestors #ancestry #heritagte #swedishhistory #sweden #familyarchives #letters #historicallove #ängelholm #elfriedeandjohan⁠ #lovestory⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CV7iWstM9jm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Halmstad the 28th of june. From Johan 🌸⁠ ⁠ I think one of my absolute favourite things I have learned about Johan through his letters is his aversion to violence and harsh words. Sweden later, in 1966, become the first country in the world to completely outlaw corporal punishments against children (not only in school but in the home too). ⁠ ⁠ A lot of people think Sweden outlawed child corporal punishment in 1979 when it was explicitly written into the law. But even before this it was illegal. ⁠ ⁠ So for me, knowing that Johan all the way back in the summer of 1920 asked Elfriede not to punish the children, is really special. ❤️⁠ ⁠ "Your letter is still with me. I don't have any special news to tell, just that the weather is marvellous and there aren't a lot of flies. It's only half past two in the afternoon, we'll be starting our journey from Halmstad tomorrow morning at six. What am I supposed to do? Read and write. There is a pretty café in H. where you can have coffee and cake, maybe we'll go there. We are three young men from Ängelholm, not young girls.⁠ ⁠ How are your headaches? I hope they're better. Are the children polite? Hopefully you are good at raising kids, aren't you? You wanted to beat them once. Please do not do that - don't! Beating isn't good for kids, you know? ⁠ ⁠ "You don't understand!" is what you might say to me and you're right. An old bachelor doesn't know anything about children.⁠ ⁠ At last, dearest greetings from your Olle! Write soon!"⁠ ⁠ #truelove #oldletters #geneology #lettersfromourpast #1900s #1900 #1920s #1920 #history #lovestyory #ancestors #ancestry #heritagte #swedishhistory #sweden #familyarchives #letters #historicallove #ängelholm #elfriedeandjohan⁠ #halmstad #svenskhistoria #childcorporalpunishment #barnaga⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CVZ9mzCs0mq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Unfortunately Elfriede and Johan weren't fated to meet on the 27th of June. 🍃 As soon as he arrived home Johan sat down to write Elfriede to let her known what had happened.⁠ ⁠ The train Johan was taking was supposed to leave at 6:05, but before departure it was already 1 hour and 14 minutes late and before he came to Teckomatorp the train he was supposed to change to had already departed. So instead he traveled on to Kävlinge and hoped to be able to travel to Lilla Paris by Malmö. But when the train to Malmö was late his only connection to Lilla Paris would arrive after he would have to go back home to Ängelholm. 🛤⁠ ⁠ Johan tried to call Ovesholm to let Elfriede know he wasn't coming, but it was half an hour before someone picked up the phone. ☎️⁠ ⁠ "Next Sunday I am on duty. The following week I need leave to go to the north. So when can we meet each other? A question, easy to ask but difficult to answer, isn't it? It should take a whole month before I can come. ⁠ Difficulties are to be overcome. Hopefully you can overlook what happened, I could not help at all that it went so badly. Is the Countess still away? Maybe fate wanted us to be good. The opportunity, as well as the weather would be better in July, right? ⁠ ⁠ Now I have to go and eat lunch, and then I will write you further. There is also a "festival" in Thorslund, but only for children and those who love to dance. But I like to sit in the open-air restaurant to drink coffee and listen to good music. ⁠ ⁠ Why did you have to go before these wonderful evenings had begun?⁠ ⁠ One more stupid question, forgive me! I am hungry, I want to eat - but - I can't get pancakes! See, I don't have a wife yet! Poor bachelors!" 🕺⁠ ⁠ #truelove #oldletters #geneology #lettersfromourpast #1900s #1900 1920s #1920 #history #lovestory #ancestors #ancestry #heritage #swedishhistory #sweden #familyarchives #letters #historicallove #soulmates #ängelholm #elfriedeandjohan⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLB6Ant4Jl/?utm_medium=tumblr
