now i´m - allowed to listen to tacky Christmas songs
and decorate the kitchen (birch wreath inspired by NINA)
.
since it´s getting quite cold
i try really hard to lure the little black ones into the house
but they are not very adventurous
even though they do not like the snow
.
it´s also time to make a (lot of) wish(es)
so here we go:
these BOOTS in black

this COAT in olive and this CARDIGAN

and since i´m literally living in those since October i might get another of these JUMPERS 
(looks good in "tan", doesn´t it)

a MEMOIR by Grace Coddington

the Sprouted Kitchen COOKBOOK

i admit it  - i do love FRIENDS

the BOOK about the Makers Project

i wish W could make this BRACELET for myself

time to come up with ideas and actually make some furniture for my bedroom and kitchen

(all i know so far is that brass and marble should be involved)
a festive KINFOLK magazine (already arrived thanks to a...)
the BLANKET from Zierrat und Gold
CHRISTMAS CARDS by Hanna Konola (swapped last year, put up now) - also JOULUKALENTERI
a closet full of these WIRE HANGERS
meals shared with sisters and friends
to be continued
probably
...

have a nice first Sunday in Advent

such a busy weekend, keeping me still busy

it was so nice to meet some of you in a quite beautiful surroundig

.

a sweet girl asked me to make her a BEATEN BRACELET in silver

and it turned out so pretty i decided to put it in the shop, too

.

it´s still ever so grey and dreary

so the picture of a  lovely little surprise form JULIE turned out really dull

though it made me very happy and i can´t wait to put it to use

when making her berberis caramel candy

thank you so much!

.

those cookie cutters need a bit of scrubbing to get rid of the rust

and i´m afraid the dog is a German sheep dog

who needs a bit of pink icing to get rid of its brown past

he can peacefully retire here

the bunnies are really fun, too

.

also some custom made FESTIVE PENDANTS

i´ll do whatever you wish for :)

it´s pretty neat when all those tiny pieces are stored away

in MUJI soap and pill boxes for a Christmas design market tomorrow

so in case you´re in Regensburg stop by at DILLYDALLY and say hello

i´d love to meet you

.

since i´m not used to real life contact to customers (only digital)

to guzzy myself up and make me presentable

i even tried to pluck my eyebrows with a pair of tweezers i normally use to douse candles

well...

.

when i read the description of this piece by Martin Margiela for H&M

"oversized cashmere sweater" i thought "i want to go to there (yes, i really like 30 Rock)"

and this must be an interesting fact for those rheumatic ladies out there:

i was this close to start sweating in there 

and i was only wearing two undershirts and one woolen kidney cozy under it

so i´m keeping it

(isn´t this TABLECLOTH awesome?!)

.

a little something for a friend who´s cat just died

TINY BOUQUET #27 MOURNING CATS

yes, those two are quite hideous... but maybe they have a cheering effect

.

also i´m waiting for not so dark weather to take pictures

of some nice things i got

some ladys were so nice this week
and put lovely post up saying kind things about WSAKE:
ALMA wünscht sich was
JULIE is happy about a lot of mail in her postbox
TINE is in a Christmassy mood
and a golden LIGONMAG
 you are the sweetest and i say thank you with the last hydrangea in the garden
. 
just when i was thinking about coming up with some minimalistic lamp ideas
for my apartement
i found this quite contrasting floral chandelier on the fleamarket
but maybe living with both styles is the golden way
to deal with any kind of mood
.
here are some things i found and liked this week:
 a lovely HAT from Wiksten i don´t have time to knit right now
looking for gifts at BASTIS RIKE and in MY WHITE ROOM

(two gift guides with awesome things: ALMA and TINE)
and an other magazine: ARTIG & FEIN

.
KISS ME






 

my days are spent quite boring lately (well, actualy almost always...)

after hopping out of my cosy bed

there is a lot of work at the computer and never getting done enough

.

feeding the cats

and petting one of them - she loves it very much now

walking between my feet which makes getting along rather complicated

she´s very pretty with her single white whisker

.

then i feed myself

almost burned those QUINCE SCONES

which made sense after my mother filled the whole house with smoke

since apparently something got stuck in the chimney

(not so cosy in my bed this night due to wide open windows to get the burnt smell out)

.

finally the BLACK AND WHITE CHRISTMASCARDS arrived

looking good and ready to send out

.

have a nice Sunday night!
