In love with vintage dishes.

January 22, 2012

Hey online pals, did you have a nice weekend? ;) Today I went to the flea market in Berlin and found a pretty, floral plate. Here you can see some extremely beautiful dishes I bought last week when I discovered a new second hand store. Although I rarely need four different teapots, I couldn’t resist buying them, because they are soooo pretty. Which one is your favourite? :) I cannot decide which one I love most. I already made a salad using my new, floral bowl and I can’t wait for using the plates for decorating food. :)
Collecting vintage dishes has become one of my latest passions, it started when I tried to find some plates on the flea market last winter when I was searching for pretty vintage decor for my birthday party’s dessert table. My aim is to sort out average dishes which do not fit my kitchen’s style and I love the color contrast of white dishes with floral elements and my tuquoise kitchen table. :)
Do you have any collections? Well, I also collect fabric, but that’s another story… :)
Wish you a lovely evening, I’m going to watch some more episodes of The Big Bang Theory. <3

Why I’m so excited today.

January 22, 2012

Good morning, dear readers! :) Remember the bow tie I made for Mogli for Christmas? I’m sooo glad that I decided to list it on DaWanda, because there seem to be a lot of people who like it. :) A short time ago, I was really happy to see that they listed my product on one of their treasuries which aim to help people finding the perfect presents for their loved ones. Then, a few days ago, I got an email from DaWanda, telling me that my item was going to be in the next newsletter (a Valentine’s Day special), and in case you don’t receive the letter yourself, here it is:

When you click onto Mogli in the Newsletter, you are directed to a page where there a presents for people who already have everything and the cute bow tie is the first item. <3 I don’t have to tell you how proud I am, right? :)

I’m now going to a brunch date (What’s a better way for starting Sundays, huh? ;)), see you later! :)

Dear readers, happy Saturday! Today lovely Heidi is featuring me in her blog love edition on her blog I’m With Leia. Go and say hello, she’s from Denmark and has a pretty blog where she posts about her family life and her cute baby, she shows her awesome knitting skills or shares links to pretty items she finds on the Internet. We got to know each other through Indie Biz, just like I got to know some other awesome ladies!

My new pencil case.

January 20, 2012

Hey, happy weekend! :) Here’s a new item I’ve sewn for myself, a pretty pencil case made from vintage fabric. I saw this beautiful fabric on DaWanda when I was looking for Christmas presents and I simply had to buy it. Isn’t it pretty? It’s unique and I can be sure that I won’t see anybody with the same pencil case. :) By the way, is there anybody who would like to see a tutorial for how to make such a pencil case or are there only people with advanced sewing skills among my readers? :)
Do you have any special plans for the weekend? This evening one of my girlfriends came by, I’m planning to sew a lot and I’ll go to the flea market. <3
Wish you a lovely weekend!!

Dear readers, lovely Sindy of Ms. Fisher goes Handmade has invited me to share a guest post for her birthday week on her blog. :) There you can see my camera case tutorial (for those who don’t understand German, you can find the English version on my own blog) and lots of other lovely DIY ideas by other creative bloggers. Most posts are self-explanatory or you only need the photos to understand the tutorial, so it’s no problem if you only speak English. :)
So visit Sindy’s blog and make sure to say hello! :)
