Hier habe ich alle kleinen Geschichten rund um mich, meine Aktivitäten und unser rosa Haus zusammengefasst
Today we were shooting the invitation cards for my friend Dani´s Christmas event at her store. I really prayed to the weather-god, that it will not going to rain. I checked the weather forecast every hour yesterday. At the end, everything turned out fine, but in the morning it didn’t look too good for us. Michael our lovely neighbor lent us his old Ford pick-up for today and after heavy rain at 10 a.m. we had to dry the complete car with our towels from the bathroom. puh!! But after that, everything was going smooth. During our short break with some banana bread and latte, we even took a picture from both of us, just for fun. and it turned out so nice!
Thank you Dani, for another round of christmas photoshooting for your shop! We counted how many Christmas cards photoshootings we did together: this is our fourth! and hopefully not the last! For those who are around in Germany NRW: Dani’s Christmas Event at her Danroeschen store will be Saturday November 10th !
You must know, we love cats! But: we don’t have our own. We say, they have to choose you. But it is allowed to ‚help along‘ a little so we try to attract the neighbourhood cats with some goodies. This does work with the one we call the „Red Cat“, but only up to a certain point. We are not allowed to pet her and she never comes into our home to sit down. This week we had a striking success. She came in and joined a couple of animal friends. Here’s the proof:
The next day around 8.00am in the morning, I was looking sleepy out of the kitchen door. expecting to see, maybe, the „Red Cat“ …but there it was: the friendly Bambi from the forest! Our garden plants seem to be tasty. I was standing there quite long, expecting it to move quick and leave. But no, it took it´s time and finished eating slowly.
And we wanna attract the birds as well. I found this cute feeding ground in a garden centre in the Netherlands …well, the sign is definetely wrong. We have open for birds 24/7 of course….
Yesterday, we had a copy of Norwegian magazine ROM 123 in the mail which features our house (thanks to Kristine and Stine). I have to say, I can not read one single thing, but the pictures are so nice and the title „Pippi-huset“ referring to Pippi Longstockings speaks for itself.
I am extremely proud to be able to tell you that our house is featured in the Oct issue of the German „We Love Living“ magazine (available Sep 19th). Having a story in a magazine across 10 pages about us and our house has been a long time dream. Wow!
It’s been so much fun working together with the people from the magazine, special thanks to Carolin, Shanti, Marion and Peter and thanks also to the models Julia, Caro and Dani. So, what can you expect? Fun and stylish interior pictures, entertaining ideas about our „Pie Eating Contest“, exciting short-takes from the house and much, much more. I hope, that you will like it!. For most of you who live outside Germany, here´s a little sneak peak of the article.
Just one hour flight time from Duesseldorf on the beautiful island of Jersey, I bumped into an original vintage Jersey icecream van. I think it’s a perfect start for a vacation. However, the friendly icecream man was just closing and on his way home, so I did not get my Jersey Soft, but he promised to be back tomorrow.
