flood water at the Danube

but our town is providing good for the citizen

not only sandbags and hightech walls

they offer a forecast for each and every home

so everybody knows what to do to keep the water out

we´re lucky

and we feel with those Australians affected by this devastating flood

(please note: due to making the workshop waterproof,

custom made orders from the SHOP are delayed for a few days!)

it´s so grey here

but a lovely package from Finland arrived today, making the day bright

can´t wait to show you what´s inside

reading this book at the moment - i think it´s wonderful

makes me laugh, makes me cry, it feels so true

(oh - i forgot: thank you for this Christmas present, Eva!)

living next to a river means meeting a rat once in a while

so this little trail belongs to one of these creatures

made BAKLAVA with hazel nut, sesame and pumpkin seeds

(if you want to give this recipe a try please roast the nuts and seeds

it tastes so much better)

and had a few slices watching A SINGLE MAN

but most important:

all the luck in the world to N and little K for tomorrow

we´re so hoping everything will be fine soon

W trying to look as grave as possible

while cutting down the Christmas tree

worked on some tiny initial pendants

soon to be in the SHOP

we got W a few movies for his birthday
- quite selfish -
one of them is BRIGHT STAR
we fell hard for it, crying because of so much beauty and sadness
i had to work on some "romantic" necklaces right away
oh, an other thing about Ws frames:
i just realised he wears the same ones as THE SARTORIALIST
but in black
now he has to find himself a barber, too
