No happier sight then a variety of frilly or plain, tiny or huge pansies in front of every garden center you come across. I want them all. All the colours and shapes. The yellow and black ones, that are also to be had in dark red, the white ones with the violet rims, the ruffled ones in faded purples and yellows... These right here - I managed to take a few pictures before they all got rain damaged - go very well with the golden pieces we just added to our collection.

Little unicorn says hello, too (all quotes on yellow in this post are from ARTMANN&DUVOISINs freshly launched colloborative website about how work interferes with your personal life in creative processes: SANFTE ARBEIT).



Above: A BIG FAT GOLDEN UNICORN KISS - don´t worry, it´s only gold plated so it won´t break the bank.

Bow necklaces are making little unicorn happy. / Schnell noch in Rikes SALE stöbern und TORTE verschicken (WSAKE B-WARE ist auch zu haben.) / "From my screen to your heart" - 500 ways to end a letter according to AI. / I wanna eat everything in PARIS - can´t stop looking at the picture of that citrus tartelet, such a pretty thing...

Waldi recently found a few silver pendants hidden away in the many, many boxes in our workshop - he used to pay with these for a our dancing lessons at the local ballet school, where they got sold to tiny ballerinas, or rather the parents of tiny ballerinas - anyway, he´s selling off the remaining ones at a very special price: BALLET SLIPPERS / A gold plated O.T. RING in case you don´t feel so silver.

A gold plated (what else) SUN SPROCKET on a silver necklace, length of your choice. / "At all costs I must go on being spoiled and petted. I need presents. I want something I could eat or wear or go to bed with." I had THE BLOATER read to me while working on this post and it made me feel delightfully FRIVOLOUS, now I´m hoping for a reedition of all of Rosemary Tonks books.
