so in the end i was about to loose my mind

but it´s here - the new collection

not even W´s KIDNEY STONE could stop us

(well, i was forced to work on the "hard" stuff too while he was out for a bit,
but that´s a good thing, since now this is my favorite kind)

.

now there are not only

a lot of BARRETTES

even one of a kind TWO TONE BARRETTES

and on top of that HAIR THINGS

VARIOUS EAR STUDS - so many choices

 tiny, funny DUCKS, CROCODILES AND LITTLE GUYS

three of W´s absolute masterpieces: HEAVY SILVER BRACELETS

and TINY FOOT RINGS (excellent for stacking)

no, there´s also a moving (!!!) lookbook

thanks to the E in WSAKE who has two careers, one being an ARTIST 
and the other one a contemporary dancer

there is nothing ethereal about her, she´s force and strength and i love that

so please give this post a bit of time to load and watch her do her thing

.

also i had no idea filming would be so much fun

she just tried things and i told her if i thought something might work

(a big thank you to MICA by the way, who we woke very early on a rainy sunday morning 

to borrow her amazing studio to shoot the whole thing - E is wearing 0941 throughout all the pictures, 

which is also dreamt up right there)

.

thank you to my dear hair things and ear stud tester S

and to W who takes up with a lot of crazy

and since we had so much fun, we threw in some old favorites

BROKEN NECKLACE

TROPICAL MOON NECKLACE

QUADRUPLE STRAIGHT BRACELET

CRINKLED CARDBOARD BRACELET

guess what - it´s GIVEAWAY time!

on top of that there are five PLANT HANGERS listed in the shop

.

Paula also just posted a lovely recipe for OLIVE OIL AND ORANGE BISCUITS

mine turned out to be a bit on the bitter side

i probably used to much orange zest

also we simply can´t get enough of FRÄULEIN TEXT´s GRANOLA - that crunching buckwheat!!!

(i tend to make it with ghee, dried blue berries and cardamom - excellent when you run out of cinnamon)

and those TURMERIC CASHEWS - wow!

it was my first time using cayenne, so they turned out super hot
and can now be used as a spice themselves

and since i had a bottle of almost crystallised rice sirup hidden in on of my vast drawers

i gave this ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL a shot

didn´t look as poetic as in those pictures, more like when you pour a bottle of beer and all that comes out is foam

but now it works (and looks like beer completely without foam)

.

it looks like i´m completely food driven these days

it´s probably Nigel Slater´s fault

i´m reading too much in his books and now i´m wondering

when i´m going to start dreaming of lamb with apricots and all that tarragon he seams to consume

since foxgloves have planted themselves in the sage patch

(if you´re reading your Agatha Christie closely you know how dangerous that can be)

i don´t dare to try what looks to me like tarragon in my garden

maybe it´s some highly poisonous lookalike too

.

spent all of my "business money" on getting the blanks for the new collection cut
they just arrived and now SO MUCH work is about to begin
i´m already sore after half a day

so i swear a lot and hide out somewhere eating cookies or nuts
.
all versions of the BLUE BELL NECKLACES and the PUZZLE RINGS are now back in stock

.

also i have to get used to the fact that my hair will probably never look neat

and i should probably embrace the style of an unruly toddler

adorned with some of the BARRETTES and HAIR THINGS we´re WORKING ON OF COURSE!
.
and since i´m working on a ton of gifs to show off our new collection
i thought just tune you in with a tiny one including a smelly chives flower
.
do i need those SHORTS?
who wants to visit SQIRL with me?
and who does not love this WOMAN?
