quiet days around here

Mad Men has come to Germany - not that i´m watching it

since my former roommate

( congratulations again to your new own flat, especially to the washmachine!)

convinced me to watch series in their original language some years ago now

and i have to admit - i watched A LOT

and i owe all my English skills to that fact

(i know they are quite small, but anyway...)

but i took some pictures of tableware from that period of time

so here we have a quite usual decor - the happy couple in Italy

in front of a ice cream parlour - a square cake stand

LITTLE LAUGHING DOG got a sleeping injection yesterday due to a minor intervention

so he just idled around with his unequal twin sibling Stuffed Laughing Dog

finally dozing off watching Gilmore Girls

on a very polite pillow saying "sleep well" in crocheted German

i´ll promise - no more plums for this year - these are the last ones

an other sunny day around the summer house

oh, and i actually took a picture of Little Laughing Dog and his wild bunch

here he´s chit-chating with Fine Little Day Donkey

and Slinky Dog - an ancient creature, a few houndred years old

it goes like:

"three right, three up - stitch stitch"

"bark saw saw saw"

i have no idea what it means

Glass Bead Necklaces

have you met LITTLE LAUGHING DOG yet?

he´s a Cocktail Sherrier, a rare but jolly breed - isn´t that right, K?

today he had a small meal of salt & vinegar chips and OLIVE BISCUIT COOKIES

(he can´t show you a picture of these - he didn´t refrigerate the dough long enough

so they didn´t keep their shape and turned out like one giant cookie

their looks would probably keep you from trying these - and you should

don´t forget - it´s all about inner beauty)

now he is of to play in the stormy birch woods

and meeting some of his cross stitch friends

interested in meeting them, too?

well, maybe i´ll manage to take a picture of them...

a post on trees

almost everything you see here is made by or of trees

(well, i don´t know how much of a tree is actually in a polaroid,

but it´s a polaroid of a tree)

is it okay to get wood heating material

and mourning for the trees of Stuttgart at the same time?

i don´t live there anymore

but i every time i went there by train

those giants where the first beautiful sign of this city, a swabian greeting

of course this is nothing

compared to the irreparable damage done to ecosystems every day

yet i am sad

and i feel sorry for those who got hurt trying to save them

W is harvesting and storing apples

it´s starting to get quite chilly outside although the sun is shining

but our little summer house stays cozy with a bit of candle light for heating

the red and yellow striped fabric is a very nice gift from Sara

S finally used it for some pillow cases
