these dog roses look like made of porcelain and smell like soaked in some elegant cocktail
working on one of my first jewellery assignments
embossing tools

a bit of green today
W picks up buckets full of little apples every day
my South African beauty started to bloom right in time for the World Cup
hydrangea in the making
lady`s mantle and a little guy sitting on his own vase - one of the things i got on my successfull flea market weekend

23.6.10


E doing a bit of plein air last weekend
the smell of basswood makes you think it´s summer and even the nights are warm
but that´s not true at all - i`m still sleeping with my hot-water bottle

22.6.10

an other bit of fabric - a scarf i´m very in love with, got it at the Blickfang fair in Stuttgart a few years ago - it´s from Hosse, Switzerland
it´s raining almost every day here
so many of Ss roses are rotten on the inside before they blossom out

look at that! K sent off a postcard with a reindeer and got one with a fawn (isn´t it the best?!)- i think they should become pen pals!
at the bottom you can see an amazing drawing of several sea creatures - the card even said hello in german!
thank you so much Maribeth and Kristen!!!
we love those cards!

the most beautiful postcard from the "today i saw" swap just arrived - you just wait and see!
(in the meantime i try to take a decent picture of it...)
made these with a maple flavoured mint yogurt
and a bit of fabric - i think you can guess where it´s from

an other silhouette charm - this time it´s A
i`m now in the top knot business... just like the whole blog world
the little egg carrier is one of the more practical things i got this weekend
finally brought myself to use the tiny noodles i found in lissbon

the pretty beatle on Es "Today i saw" postcard
peonies
i was very successfully browsing several flea markets this weekend so i´m going to post a lot of pictures... at first a pink glass bowl
we already got this one in green
somebody came by to show as picture of our house around 1910 - it still looks the same missing the flower boxes in front of the windows on the second floor (we didn´t know they existed)
it was a pretty poor neighbourhood back then, those kids didn`t look happy at all and the larger boy in the apron as a giant left foot maybe evoked by an injury

"A is greedy, i`m sorry to say..."
the cookie picture is proof enough
went swimming the last few days - the first time since a cruel bike ride to the Heiligensee in Potsdam which wasn´t that good for my spinal disks
at the open air pool i always try to get the locker with the coolest number: 007
i even had fries there today
As post card for the "Today i saw" - post card swap
K and E did one too, i´ll show them an other time

5.6.10

had a cold the last few days and stayed in bed but now the sun is shining and everything`s getting better!
working on something new:
silhouette charms of your loved ones custom-made of silver
that`s little K, the only one with a side-face picture...
thinking about hanging solutions such as for mothers/grandmothers with 2 or more children/grandchildren
since there aren´t real peaches jet - here is one made of marzipan and (of course) peonies and new shoes
