wsake

so here´s my almost too late call to shop small - a lot - especially at christmas

dont get me wrong, i do "shop big", too

but it´s so nice to find things made with a lot of care and love

+ actually knowing who made them

(though we might not know where the resources come from - it´s a long story - but still!)

.

E sent me some of the miniature paintings SHE AND S made

(their page desperately needs an update!)

and they are just perfect

my pictures and repro skills don´t do them justice

so in case you fall in love with one of them - some are still available

(about 10x7cm, 65€ + shipping)

just let me know and i´ll make a little art deal happen

.

so in case you´re still looking for some gifts - i´m pretty sure some do still ship in time for the holidays

shown here:

LITTLE GUYS NECKLACES

a sweet bavarian heart card from KAROS DRUCKWERK

a circle skirt from BRITTA MANGER - i might not be the most flattering model...

TULPENVASE from MATTHIAS FROBÖSE

the tiny bees wax candles and wooden ring holders are from a local artisan christmas market

.

and here are some more things i like:

LE TRAIN FANTOME´s CAT and all her other adorable creatures

fun ceramics from ALEX SICKLING

and you already know i´m a big fan of OTCHIPOTCHI

+ also everything from BASTIS "THE GRID BLANKET" RIKE
the nice selections of STUDIO OINK and ZIERRAT UND GOLD

.

it does look like i´ve been on a shopping spree - but:

one of the greatest thing about being a "creator" (how should i call myself?!)

is being able to do a lot of swaps with other "creators"

so i´m also currently waiting for wonderful things from

HUI HUI

JO WATERHOUSE

WINDWARDMADE
ENI MAI

i can´t wait!

.

some of our pieces are featured in the christmas edition of BRIGITTE

we´re so happy!

.

some links i bookmarked the last weeks:

ROSEWATER SHORTBREAD

HALVA RUGELACH

i want to look just like THAT one day (soon)

NO BAKE HEMP MACAROONS

thank you for THIS PICTURE, Tine!

EVENCLEVELAND´s giftguides

an other BLANKET i have my eye on

a yellow TEA POT

.

found a handicraft book at the fleamarket and when paging through it

we realized our great grandmother must have had the same one

since it didn´t only contain her mitten pattern but also our family´s typic little-people-hat-pattern

worn for decades and generations by now - doesn´t little K look so cute?!
.
love the HAIR BARRETTE we made for a nice customer
so i guess i´ll be making more some day
