My Birthday Brunch at Home

February 12, 2013


Hello my dear readers! :) Last weekend I threw a little belated birthday brunch and invited a few of my friends. I prettily decorated our kitchen, prepared lots of delicious food and we sat there and ate a lot, such a good morning. :)
Now you can enjoy all the colors in the photos, have a look at our kitchen and all my pretty vintage dishes. :)

A handmade bunting and lots of colorful paper straws and tiny paper umbrellas. :)


Hello, come inside! :) I made chocolate milkshakes, bought daughnuts, different kinds of bread and croissants.

There were fresh vegetables, a huge bowl with fruit salad, an etagere with all kinds of cheese, grapes and fig mustard and of course, various kinds of spread and curd chesse.

I wish I had the time to do this every single weekend! :)


Mhhh, looking through those photos makes me get hungry again. :D


Wish you a lovely day, may it be colorful and including good food! :)

This was my January in Instagram photos.

February 10, 2013

Hey everyone! ;) I’m warning you, tons of photos are about to follow! :)
January has been a super exciting month, full o new impressions, new people and colorful days. Because I took so many photos, I was really hard to sort them and to choose which ones to post, so this blog entry is gonna be really long. :)
So here’s what happened in January:


I had my first day as social media intern at DaWanda and I wore mustard and lace. :) // That are the DaWanda sign, the couch in the entrance hall and the old building in which DaWanda’s headquarter is located in Berlin. // On the photo in the middle, you can see part of DaWanda’s Snuggery, a mixture of showroom, shop and workspace. // Pink winter dress. // New dresses arrived for summer. // California breakfast slam in Berlin with Flo. :) // Candy outfit.

Vintage paradise. // The man I love! :* // My awesome Christmas presents. // New dresses. // Handmade Peter Pan collar made from faux leather. // Outfit of the day, wearing my new vintage belt I got from Malin for xmas. // Pizza date with Anja. // Wearing one of my new dresses. // Being sick at home, enjoying to watch baby Mogli sleep.

My workspace. // Lena of DaWanda visited me at home to make a short seller education video with me in which I talk about how blogging can support one’s own shop. :)) // On the photo in the middle, you can see my favorite cafe in Potsdam. // Our colorful bed. // Together with my colleague, I have been giving my first workshop at the DaWanda Snuggery and I made myself a white faux leather collar during the workshop. // New dress. :)

My colleague and I have been working at DaWanda’s DIY table at the Fashion Blogger Cafe during the Berlin Fashion week and we have been crafting all day. So much fun to work for DaWanda. :) // One of the funniest girl’s evenings with my bestie Anja. :* // I’m in nailpolish heaven, I got tons of great colors for free and this is why my collection has grown so much. // Weekend trip to the countryside with Flo, we were out for a walk with Mogli and took outfit photos in the fields. // Another new dress with which I’m deeply in love.

Outfit of the day with a handmade headband and a handmade squirrel necklace. // Retro enamel brooch. // Mogli the little sailor. // Berlin in winter. // Daily outfit with a new handbag. // Candy street. // Pretty dishes at the thrift store. // Thrifting with Anja and her parents. // Tiny brunch break and pretty colors.

Loving that girl so much, we are always enriching our lives. :* // Beautiful thrift finds. // Out in the snow. // Such a productive weekend: I handprinted many new totes. // Packing orders and embellishing them with tape and handmade rubber stamps. // Fresh flowers in our kitchen. // Outfit of the day for my very first public workshop as Luloveshandmade!!! :) // I prepared and prettily decorated the Snuggery for my workshop.

Loooots of people came to my workshop, about 40 people! // They all made colorful pinboards, so much fun. // Sleepy Mogli. // Home, sweet home. // Sunday brunch. // My kitchen cabinet from the 50s I restored and painted myself. // Making rubber stamps. // My second craft table and my supplies. // New animal totes with new designs. :)

All those colorful moments and new experiences in January, such a good month!
Huh, are you still reading and looking at the huge amount of photos?? :) Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a lovely Sunday! :)

Today is my birthday. :))

February 5, 2013


Yayyyyy, today is my birthday!!! :) This day and Christmas are my two favorite days a year and I’m always as excited as a child. :)
Wow, 26, this means that I’m closer to 30 than to twenty, I’m getting old. :) Can’t wait to see what this year of life will bring and which magical moments are about to come.
I’ve got the day off and am going to spend it with some of my very favorite people in the world. The day will be full of delicous food and quality time, oh, how much I love this! :*
Lu, who has just turned a year older. :)
(P.S.: My photoshop skills have improved a lot, I had a moment of epiphany and made this muffin illustration all by myself and it didn’t even take me long. Learning something new and having a successful experience are always so exciting and fulfilling! :))

My very first public workshop.

February 2, 2013


Hello and happy Saturday! :) This week, my very first public workshop took place and it was lots of fun! The workshop took place at DaWanda’s Snuggery in Berlin where there are free workshops every Thursday evening. This week, people were invited to come and to make mini-pinboards with me. I was so thrilled, because 50 people wanted to register, but because the courses are normally prepared for only 30 people, we couldn’t accept all of them. In the end, about 40 people came and I had lots of fun teaching them how to make those pretty mini-pinboards covered in colorful fabric.


(left photo c/o Anna) 
All participants were able to choose from the fabric I had bought in advance and for some of them, the decision wasn’t easy. :)



I brought some items for decor, distributed my leaflets and brought little paper bowls filled with sweets.

My dearest friend Anja came to support me and took all those photos for me and the blog. :*

Even two of my new DaWanda colleagues made some pinboards, and my friends Kat and Sina also came to the workshop. :*


(both photos c/o Anna) 


See all the pretty pinboards which were made!


I had such a good evening and enjoyed chatting with all the participants and I even meeting blog readers! :) This workshop was a really good experience!
Thanks for coming, can’t wait to give another workshop somewhere one day! :)
Lu
P.S.: There’s also a post on the DaWanda Blog in which you can see photos of all four Janaury workshops and in case you want to make such a pinboard yourself, here’s a tutorial. I’m so glad that my photo editing quality has improved since I made the tutorial two years ago… ;)
