last week i visited E in Leizig

didn´t take any pictures outside her flat

but it was spectacular enough

.

it´s such a different city compared to our clean small Bavarian town

i quite enjoyed riding my bike there

taking in new sights and smells

.

also visiting art school without being a student anymore

is a really relaxed thing

(we were quite the attraction - apparently we look very much alike)

.

unfortunately all my little souvenirs from the Zeughaus broke

on the way back home

thank you so much for stopping by on Saturday

we had a wonderful afternoon

actually after such good weather we didn´t mind the rain in the end

.

since some of you asked for the recipes

i made a lemon-thyme-cake from Nigel Slater´s Kitchen Diaries II

a LEBANESE ANISSEED CAKE

a GREEN TEA + RASPBERRY CAKE from Rose Bakery

(it´s the second recipe, but the first one sounds like a stunner too - french version HERE) 

PAULA´S WHITE WINE + FENNEL SEED BISQUITS

SHORTBREAD WITH ROSEMARY + CANDIED GINGER

and a nectarine-honey-sirup based loosely on this RECIPE

.

E did not only brilliantly finish her studies

she also just had her 25th birthday - just like the ICE CREAM we´re so fond of

so we made her a popsicle stick necklace

.

i´m pretty fond of my own TROPICAL MOON NECKLACE right now

it´s so perfect for summer outfits

.

does anyone know where i can get those SILVER ARIZONA BIRKENSTOCK in Germany?

i like shoes that match our profession...

.

every now and then my tall spruce trees get visited by three shrieking hawks

spitting cast all over the place

but i do like their sounds

our small TROPICAL COLLECTION is now ready

.

bold brass elements for EAR STUDS and NECKLACES

STRINGS OF COLOURFUL STONES AND GLASS BEADS

a collection of amazing FANCY STONE RINGS

(you can choose one and get the ring custom made in rose or yellow gold)

and a new collaboration with OTCHIPOTCHI - the PLANT HANGER

.

also: new pieces are added now to the SAMPLE SALE

and we´ve made lot of new GLASS BEAD NECKLACES

.

and don´t forget:

do come to our SUMMER FAIR tomorrow, Saturday, 3 - 8pm

Am Gries 35, Stadtamhof, Regensburg

no matter what kind of weather we´re having

(the weather report offers four options so far: sun, clouds, rain, thunderstorm)

we already built a tent

and are busy baking up a storm now

.

Alma´s JULIGRÜN with our WATERING CAN

a GOLDEN TOP RING for Studio Oink´s LEA

a post for E

who is - together with her boyfriend - presenting her Fine Arts Diplom this minute

at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig

you go, girl!!!

.

S will present her with a tiny antique Diplom box afterwards
(found at the flea market a few weeks ago)

filled with even tinier sweets

and since W and me can´t be there

this is our way to congratulate them both
with a candy coloured bouquet of geranium flowers
the cat says hi too - i guess

.

also:

some goodies from the STUDIO MEEZ plant swap arrived in the mail

finally managed to take some pictures of Alex´s wonderful PLANTERS
