Stella from KONGLOMERAT DESIGN invited me 

to contribute to her HELDENTARTE series

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

again i need your help

(since you were so kind to help me out with the little wreaths)

so far there are two opinions on this draft for a post card:

the fact that you almost can´t read it is either the most awesome or most awfull thing about it

what do you think?
and YES - there is an I missing - thank you so much ULMA

(thank you E for your inspiration for this by the way

hopefully i can show you sometime what she made)

.

after taking pictures

i dried the rose petals from my mother´s Cardinal de Richelieu

to sprinkle it on the matcha cake from HOW TO BOIL AN EGG

which i´m planning to make - and a lot of other things - for the garden party

my two sisters and me are hosting this summer

in case they actually manage to find a date

(how to dry EDIBLE FLOWERS and WHITE PEACH MAPLE SODA)

who wants to come?!

.

already made three bottles of elderflower cordial

and MIMA´s elderflower jelly

last year i also made ELDERFLOWER SHORTBREAD

.

again i went to the abandoned nursery

to cut some roses

tacky and very old

thinking about rescuing the pink one

already dugg up a very pretty peonie for half an hour

hope she will make it

since i almost ruined my favorite pair of trousers 
.
got my first foxgloves
put them in the only flower bed without any edible plants
for safety

.

thanks to the crazy weather

this was probably the first time my grandmother got peonies for her birthday

the arrangement i made for her grave smelled like an odd mixture of them and onion

because i threw in some nectaroscordum

i think she would have found that funny

.

the talking cat is everywhere i go

she likes my couch the most of course

and fights off the fattest cats twice her size

a though cookie indeed

.

take a look at NINA´s new shop ZIERRAT UND GOLD

so happy to find some of our PIECES there

OCCUPYGEZI

(via everywhere)

.

we are so lucky

even though our workshop (and my parents house) 

is right in the middle of the flood plain of the Danube

and everything is constructed in a way to avoid water damage

we only have had clear ground water running through the property

thanks to an amazing pumping station and an excellent dam system

so all we that is needed now is a bucket of desinfectant chalk paint

when the old quarrystone walls are dry again

our heart goes out to those who have lost so much

.

the garden actually looked quite pretty

kind of like a jungle

and the water reflections made the workshop look very mysterious

.

hopefully you all know the lovely ceramics from OTCHIPOTCHI

made by PAULA

they´re just perfect, so delicate and clean

and there is a little secret in the works...

TINY BOUQUET #36 FOR PAULA

made from old and new (to the garden) flowers and tiny trees i had to cut down

.

CONGRATULATIONS TO K FOR GETTING HER DREAM JOB

now i only have to support one sister:)
.
do you know how to get my hands on this CELIA BIRTWELL x UNIQLO dress?
they don´t ship to Germany...

we just tried to waterproof our workshop, showroom and my parents ground-floor

since the peak of the Danube floods will arrive here tomorrow

like probably everywhere with all this rain

so we´re going to be a bit behind and very very wet

hopefully it´s not going to be as bad as it currently looks

for all of you out there

sounds like the rain has stopped for a bit

.

for my birthday dear JULIE created me a delicious menu

considering all my diet restrictions - but it´s sure doesn´t look like that

she also made me the most wonderful little cookbook

thank you so much for this amazing gift

.

and thank you NINA for a spot on cookie cutter and an edition of one of the most beautiful books

ATLAS DER ABGELEGENEN INSELN

i also just made her FICHTENWIPFERL again - so woody and sweet

.

my mother´s Dijon roses

cut before they started to rot in the rain

and pretty columbine varieties from my favorite old plant lady from the farmers market

she brings new to me ones every week

hopefully my garden will soon look like the one in the old photograph

.

at first i thought those two wreath styles wouldn´t go together

and i had to choose

but now i like them both - do you have a favorite?

i´d love a bit of help with this decision

.

LOOP EAR STUDS to go with the LOOP RING - custom made

.

an INTERVIEW with Ana Kras

i like THIS GIRL´S style

(i don´t think i got one of my own, since i like to change everything so much)

pretty pink CHIVE BLOSSOM VINEGAR

MAD STYLE (via MISS MOSS) - wow, so much thought put in every tiny detail

.

which reader are you going to use

when google reader runs out?
