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

W trying to look as grave as possible

while cutting down the Christmas tree

worked on some tiny initial pendants

soon to be in the SHOP

we got W a few movies for his birthday
- quite selfish -
one of them is BRIGHT STAR
we fell hard for it, crying because of so much beauty and sadness
i had to work on some "romantic" necklaces right away
oh, an other thing about Ws frames:
i just realised he wears the same ones as THE SARTORIALIST
but in black
now he has to find himself a barber, too

happy birthday, W!

we´re so happy you finally got nice frames

so you don´t have to look so crazy anymore

and we know you hate the trumpet picture

("no one can play the trumpet like that!")

but we´re evil and showing it anyway

i wish the bellyache i started the new year with

was caused by too much lasagna and too many sips of luxury dessert wine

but the pain killers are more likely

packing away christmas ornaments

a sad thing to do

but i´m longing for huge bunches of tulips around the house now
