Hier habe ich alle kleinen Geschichten rund um mich, meine Aktivitäten und unser rosa Haus zusammengefasst
Hello sunshine, this was the greatest, lazy sunday afternoon birthday party ever….so relaxed, easy going, enjoyable time with some friends and great cake buffet. When I searched for a nice idea for my birthday party, there were always blogs with this vintage fair birthday party theme and I loved it! In Germany we don’t have these kind of country fairs, so I tried to adopt the theme and built some other stuff around it. Most important thing for me is always the sweets & treats table (the empty spot on the upper right from the cake buffet is reserved for the cinnamon rolls – they were still in the oven). To get the country feeling I added some ponies and also ribbons patched on linen fabric to the table. Not to forget the homemade cherry lemonade in some vintage bottles with doily labeling. The surprisingly fantastic weather was enough reason to put everything out on the porch: cushions, blankets, even the decorated floor-lamp, ballons, the paper baubles, a Hello Kitty pinata, everything was set up outside… We did some crafty thing as well: I provided embroidery hoops, fabrics, lace and stuff and all ladies were sitting in the sun doing some needlework.

Finally - the cookie decoration movie is finished, and I love it! As usual, it took my hubby quite some time to finish it (getting up every morning very early to work on the movie before regular work...and in the evening: sitting in front of the mac until midnight...)

As you can see from our faces – we are just about to start with preparing the icing. EASY! and so excited!…we still do believe, that we can manage to prepare some pretty, cute and nice cookies today, well, just like the cookie queen!! – well, our skills in the baking area are not that bad, aren’t they?, at least we thought so.

It is freezing cold. But with the right equipment and a little bit of sun you can even enjoy a hot drink on the porch.
After our move, and the production of our Moving Card (below) the main mission starts. Will we manage to attract 'homeless' or 'undecided' cats and convince them that this is the new place to be for them. So far success was limited as only the daily served cat buffet is cleared without further contact. But we will not give up. Nothing beats the overview from the porch, we know cats. Sooner or later, they won´t be able to resist. The…
