sometimes i´m wondering if it´s odd to be working in the LOVE business being single
but so far it´s running smoothly and at least i got a appropriate hat by now
.
and yes - i am the boss as you can see by the admiring looks of my two helpers
i had written again how i´m behaving like a mild tyrant and everyone has to follow my lead
when working on my projects
but somehow all those things happening in the last weeks made me rethink those words
because being the boss and actually having to make sure everything is executed to perfection, my perfection
has nothing to do with "not being very nice" and worrying about not being very ladylike
W is actually admiring the fact that i´m able to stand my ground and won´t back down 
so why do i still feel it is a bit "wrong" to do so?
is this my internal misogyny? 
is this why i was feeling like i had the "wrong" feelings when i got angry about one of my professors
telling us that places to study design are wasted on girls since they stop anyway as soon as they are starting to have babies
"wrong feelings" because he´s just telling the truth or because it´s actually funny or because that´s just how he is
and of course Anna got all worked up again - eye-roll - also why isn´t she smiling? 
in case he was actually trying to make us angry by what he said so we would work even harder - good job
because that´s exactly what i did, just to prove him wrong
yet i still don´t think it is okay to say such things and I DO NOT HAVE TO SMILE JUST BECAUSE
(please let me know a good answer to the smile-request, it drives me mad)
and is internal misogyny the reason so many women voted like they did? (more about that HERE)
this is so very shocking... 
so i´m starting to change myself right now:
I AM THE BOSS AND I DON´T HAVE TO SMILE WHEN I DON´T WANT TO
THE FACT THAT MY LAUGH IS ANNOYING DOESN´T CHANGE THAT
ALSO MY EDUCATION WAS NOT WASTED ON ME NO MATTER WHAT I DO WITH IT
.
two posts about the election i liked: EVENCLEVELAND and C´EST CLARINETTE 
+ JESSICA STANLEY´S collection of links
.
this has to be our biggest BARRETTE whole sale order so far
those are already on their way to to the MAKERS&BROTHERS holiday market in Ireland
which basically means we´re now almost sold out of a lot of styles 
and they will not come back
so do order now in case you´ve got your eyes on one of them
as you can see, we put a lot of care in making them 
and the WSAKE workers get fed very well to keep their strength up
.
MEDIEVAL CATS

when W isn´t around my workshop HELPER tells me all about his spectacular (love) life
i don´t know how this affects my work, but it is definitely entertaining
.
by now i´m addicted to wax carving
and there are already some more techniques on the horizon i might also fall in love with
so please don´t stop me now
.
our WATERING CAN got new pictures taken
and hopefully my broody pouring doesn´t cast a shadow on it´s pretty features
.
a big thank you to all the lovely couples trusting us with creating their wedding bands
also pictured: various stages of HAIR THINGS making
.
in case you also want to try this glorious APPLE ONION CHEESE TART - now is the time
i also add all kinds of left over roasted vegetables to the filling and a bit of THIS to the dough

by now i´ve started to appreciate the most unlikely things about my new life
for example the mixture of dust, hair (mine and cat´s), seeds from the garden and crushed dry cat food
covering my floors since vacuuming has become a non-priority
.
have to force my workshop help to get himself glasses, since he really has bad eye sight when it comes to details
but we´ve just finished the very last LOOKING GUY COMB and KISSING GUY BARRETTES ever
it´s now or never in case you´ve had your eyes on them
also that TOURMALINE RING is for sale now - the stone is very slightly chipped but still delightful
and do check out our CUSTOM MADE section for more examples of engagement rings and wedding bands
.
it´s ice tea time around here
well, actually just fridge-cold tea, since i don´t care for the ice cubes
THIS ONE is very fancy
but i´m lazy and just brew my favorite GREEN TEA BLEND (having the most inappropriate name) instead
.
you know that feeling when you want to burst into tears cutting up an apricote-mascarpone-galette
because of frustration and fear since handling a knife doesn´t work properly and hurts a lot
and because where the f... is this going
you (hopefully) don´t and please know: you´re very lucky
the next day i made RASPBERRY COCNUT SCONES - no knifes needed, no crying: excellent
.
slicing a pound of strawberries very likely made everything worse
since social media tricked me into trying to dehydrate them
my oven turned them into red soup stuck onto paper which then had to be peeled/cracked off
i´d say it´s a waste of fruit, work and energy but my mum likes them
and after i turned them into powder i was amazed by the fact how little space they now take up
.
also i´ve joined Netflix just to watch CHEF´S TABLE
a series i very much adore since some of them seam to have risen from their ashes
facing such huge personal struggles but still turning shit into gold
(my personal mantra - i´d take brass or silver, too)
but right now i don´t feel like doing just that again - still too weak and so full of fear
then unexpectedly another find - DEAD LIKE ME - made me happy in the weirdest way
.
yes, i do wear that SEE SUN top almost every day and now probably those PALOMA WOOL SHOES too
and if i had any money i would spend it HERE , HERE, HERE and HERE
besides on food, books and good causes of course
.
our BOOK CLUB GROUP had a meeting again last week

Am Gries 35, Stadtamhof, Regensburg

of course there will be Christmas inspired drinks and treats

W ate them all - fair enough, he did make me the COOKIE CUTTER after all
(based on our LONG LEAF CHANGE EAR STUDS and DANGLING ELEMENTS NECKLACE)

 .

and for all of you who can´t make it, there are a lot of new pieces listed in the SAMPLE SALE

AND you´ll get a free surprise set of CHRISTMAS CARDS with every order

since i promised to take a picture of W and the IN EAR RING - HERE it is
.
oh - we only have one of each silver plated HAIR COMBS in stock...
so hurry up, in case you´re planing on wearing one this festive season

.

woohoo

.

it´s almost Halloween

so we dressed up a bit

and took some scary pictures

.

hopefully you´re not too afraid of us

do take a look

otherwise you would miss all the jewellery hidden throughout the pictures

old favorites and a limited brass edition of some of our rings
FLATTENED, HOLE and DROP RINGS

.

to trick or treat yourself you can either look for something nice HERE

or/and bake a ROSEHIP APPLE CRUMBLE
(or those PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES)

.

my frequent sweater changes are probably inspired by the announcement of the return of Twin Peaks

HERE are all of them

W´s not so sure but i just love my vintage dead stock cardboard decorations 

i found on the flea market a few weeks ago

.

as you can see in the last picture we lost an ear ring

so in case there are some readers from Regensburg

how know where this picture is taken

there´s now not only a geo catch hidden somewhere but also an ARROW EAR STUD

find it and keep it!
