(got this book when my grandmother died

and looking at it

somehow this bouquet seemed like the most strangly beautiful thing to me)

a bit of shadow

drying strawflowers

.

sprigs of mint for tea

.

two "loveheads" on our workdesk

.

a weekend ahead 

thanks to my dear customers
i was able to work on so many adorable SILHOUETTE CHARMS
in the last few months
so i thought it would be a shame not to share some of them
.
here you can see three lovely little girls
necklaces and a key ring pendant





don´t worry - i don´t show those pendants without the consent of their owners
every order is treated with utmost discrection

wedding season is in full swing around here
so i´d like to call these LOVE NECKLACES
.
in case someone recognizes those two
they´re not actually getting married
and she doesn´t have a ponytail - i think she might prefer to shave her head instead
.
and it´s strawberry season, too
they are amazing with CINNAMON QUINOA

on the Easter weekend i finally got to read The Gentlewoman
a great magazine
almost felt a bit intimidated by all these successful women
.
and i took lot of pictures for the upcoming shop update
the sun was shining a lot so there was quite a bit of SHADOW play, too
.
currently i´m working on the SILHOUETTE CHARM orders for Mothers Day
there´s still a tiny bit of time to order yours for this occasion
the one shown above is A, K and E
given to our grandmother for Christmas

i´m really excited about the mention of my SILHOUETTE CHARMS

in the current issue of NIDO

(don´t know the proper translation for "Kind am Hals"

probably something like "lumbered with a child")

keep those cute pictures of your little/or big ones coming

already got Olympic chocolate to restore myself

.

find myself wearing my beloved little wool jacket from COS

and THESE NECKLACES a lot

.

Sandra collected PICTURES of her wrist worms

and found one of my NECKLACES, too

(in the first picture)

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

the last days...
full of Christmas things

i´ve heard mice love chocolate, so i fed her some sprinkles
yesterday i had my forth MRI
this time to check out my intestines
everything´s looking great
but still no clue what´s causing the inflamated vertebras
the girl prepping me was so calm and steady
and really kept me from freaking out because of disgusting contrast medium,
being strapped down on a stretcher,
surrounded by all this life saving but scary medical technology
didn´t even mind to stop breathing when she told me so over the headphones
i hope the universe has some kind of rewarding system for those people
an extra slice of luck or something like that
now i´m concentrating on finding the perfect christmas party dress

we have way more snow than in Innsbruck back in those old days...

i have to get out my vintage cutter for serrated picture edges again

(hope M doesn´t mind that i call it MY cutter...)

it´s so white everywhere you have to wear sunglasses

thank you so much for featuring the SILHOUETTE CHARM

at ALL THE MOUNTAINS, Amy!

it´s such an honour!

(if your thinking about getting one of those for christmas

- hurry up so you get it right in time!

please please do some sewing for me, E!
(the lovely WIKSTEN PATTERN just arrived)
got a couple of new lamps - this vintage one is on my nightstand
SILHOUETTE CHARM flyers
not sure what to do with my wood made of tiny pressed birch leaves
maybe a postcard?

thank you so much for your nice comments lately!

i´m still waiting... don´t know what´s gonna come out...

i´ve got some lovely stuff from some lovely bloggers shops in the mail

can´t wait to show you...

down right a postcard from Studio Violet

and i´ve added some variations of the Silhouette Charm to the Shop

working with feathers again, the dark kind

(would you like to get this table cloth for your little blue kitchen, K?)

trying to take better pictures of the Custom Made Silhouette Charm

not completly satisfied yet

an other plate from the 50s collection

we turned some of our apple crop into Maple-Brandy Apple Butter

and since we don´t have pecans around here

i substituted those Rosmary and Thyme Candied Pecans with walnuts and almonds

delicious nevertheless

an autumnal nailpolish called "chop-sticking to my story"

don´t know what that means...
