merry christmas to you all!

enjoy some lovely holidays!

.

thank you so much for stopping by here this year

it was a pleasure to have you:)

.

HERE´s my shortbread recipe with pistachios, cranberries and white chocolate on the GAARN blog (german only)

and HERE´s a little interview over at ME AND ORLA
.
all the best!

so here´s my almost too late call to shop small - a lot - especially at christmas

dont get me wrong, i do "shop big", too

but it´s so nice to find things made with a lot of care and love

+ actually knowing who made them

(though we might not know where the resources come from - it´s a long story - but still!)

.

E sent me some of the miniature paintings SHE AND S made

(their page desperately needs an update!)

and they are just perfect

my pictures and repro skills don´t do them justice

so in case you fall in love with one of them - some are still available

(about 10x7cm, 65€ + shipping)

just let me know and i´ll make a little art deal happen

.

so in case you´re still looking for some gifts - i´m pretty sure some do still ship in time for the holidays

shown here:

LITTLE GUYS NECKLACES

a sweet bavarian heart card from KAROS DRUCKWERK

a circle skirt from BRITTA MANGER - i might not be the most flattering model...

TULPENVASE from MATTHIAS FROBÖSE

the tiny bees wax candles and wooden ring holders are from a local artisan christmas market

.

and here are some more things i like:

LE TRAIN FANTOME´s CAT and all her other adorable creatures

fun ceramics from ALEX SICKLING

and you already know i´m a big fan of OTCHIPOTCHI

+ also everything from BASTIS "THE GRID BLANKET" RIKE
the nice selections of STUDIO OINK and ZIERRAT UND GOLD

.

it does look like i´ve been on a shopping spree - but:

one of the greatest thing about being a "creator" (how should i call myself?!)

is being able to do a lot of swaps with other "creators"

so i´m also currently waiting for wonderful things from

HUI HUI

JO WATERHOUSE

WINDWARDMADE
ENI MAI

i can´t wait!

.

some of our pieces are featured in the christmas edition of BRIGITTE

we´re so happy!

.

some links i bookmarked the last weeks:

ROSEWATER SHORTBREAD

HALVA RUGELACH

i want to look just like THAT one day (soon)

NO BAKE HEMP MACAROONS

thank you for THIS PICTURE, Tine!

EVENCLEVELAND´s giftguides

an other BLANKET i have my eye on

a yellow TEA POT

.

found a handicraft book at the fleamarket and when paging through it

we realized our great grandmother must have had the same one

since it didn´t only contain her mitten pattern but also our family´s typic little-people-hat-pattern

worn for decades and generations by now - doesn´t little K look so cute?!
.
love the HAIR BARRETTE we made for a nice customer
so i guess i´ll be making more some day

we´d like to invite you all to our  WSAKE Weihnachtsmarkt:

Samstag, 6.12.

14 - 19 Uhr

Am Gries 35, Stadtamhof, Regensburg

of course there will be Christmas inspired drinks and treats

(including those a lot of you quite vehementy requested)

not those cookies shown above though

W ate them all - fair enough, he did make me the COOKIE CUTTER after all
(based on our LONG LEAF CHANGE EAR STUDS and DANGLING ELEMENTS NECKLACE)

 .

and for all of you who can´t make it, there are a lot of new pieces listed in the SAMPLE SALE

AND you´ll get a free surprise set of CHRISTMAS CARDS with every order

.

since i promised to take a picture of W and the IN EAR RING - HERE it is
.
oh - we only have one of each silver plated HAIR COMBS in stock...
so hurry up, in case you´re planing on wearing one this festive season

.

i´ve got to tell you - i actually feel sore after making this collection happen

those are some sturdy pieces...

so much sawing and filing and soldering and - i have to admit - there was even swearing involved

we came up with some tricky things - tricky to make, but easy to wear, of course

.

so, do take a look at our fancy ADVENT WREATH

you can use as a spectacular bowl for the rest of the year

VARIOUS CUFFS + BRACELETS

IN EAR RINGS 

ABSTRACT EAR STUDS

and a new variation of the bestselling ARROW BRACELET + a ring to go with it

.

and guess what - with every order placed from now on

comes a FREE surprise selection of CHRISTMAS CARDS

.

now i have to lay down for a bit

.

planing on taking pictures of W with those IN EAR RINGS next week

so you can see how they are worn

i imagine this will be quite fun...

currently we´re working hard on getting everything ready for the upcoming christmas season

this weekend you can find us at the DILLY DALLY DESIGNMARKT

RT Halle, Schopperplatz 6, Regensburg

Saturday 2 - 10 p.m.

Sunday 12 a.m. - 6 p.m.

.

next Sunday, 16.11. (1 p.m. - 5 p.m.), we will be part of the Advent Exhibition of PAULINE ADLER

at STADTKUNST REGENSBURG

Prüfeninger Str. 30, Regensburg

.

we will bring our new collection

also we´re hoping to put all of the new pieces in the shop next week

you can already find the TINY HEART EAR STUDS so many of you asked for there

the two-tone CHANGE NECKLACE elements are available on request

just like those beautiful clean and delicate rose gold wedding bands

.

a few days ago i was looking at some old pictures

and found these of my sweet mother

right before and right after she gave birth to me

wearing the very first HUGE DROP BRACELET

that´s how long it has been around now

and yes, i´m the only one who did not inherit those dark curls

woohoo

.

it´s almost Halloween

so we dressed up a bit

and took some scary pictures

.

hopefully you´re not too afraid of us

do take a look

otherwise you would miss all the jewellery hidden throughout the pictures

old favorites and a limited brass edition of some of our rings
FLATTENED, HOLE and DROP RINGS

.

to trick or treat yourself you can either look for something nice HERE

or/and bake a ROSEHIP APPLE CRUMBLE
(or those PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES)

.

my frequent sweater changes are probably inspired by the announcement of the return of Twin Peaks

HERE are all of them

W´s not so sure but i just love my vintage dead stock cardboard decorations 

i found on the flea market a few weeks ago

.

as you can see in the last picture we lost an ear ring

so in case there are some readers from Regensburg

how know where this picture is taken

there´s now not only a geo catch hidden somewhere but also an ARROW EAR STUD

find it and keep it!

in case you want to get some of our rings at a very special price
head on over to MONOQI in the next 6 days
to find DOTTED, PUZZLE, FLATTENED and HOLE RINGS there
(the last two are a limited brass edition)
.
BAKING with the last grapes
smelling the intoxicating late blooming clematis
working on new things
forcing W to hold up a custom made CHANGE NECKLACE
being excited about our new HAIR COMB stockist RACHEL COMEY in New York
wondering if blogging is going to die any time soon
and if instagram is responsible for this?
