My friend Julia and I were in London a couple of days in order to prepare ourselves for the upcoming Christmas season where even the smallest things need to be wrapped up in style. Reason enough to stock-up my masking tape collection and adding lot´s of Christmas themed tapes.
With a caramel-cover and some almonds around, this sunday is going to be great!
Even if the temperature is now really getting cold in Germany (we had -3C degrees in the morning), the sun is shining, the leafs are falling down, it is pretty nice outside.
For the first time this fall, I wore a wollen hat and my winterjacket when we went out for a walk this morning.
If you want to make the apples yourself, just heat up some caramels (like f.e. Werther’s Echte) in the microwave. Dip the apple in and immediately after coating each apple, dip them into the nuts of your choice. For a prettier presentation I used tree cuttings as sticks, they are even too nice to eat…(well, don’t believe that, haha…)
I have to say, knitted mug cozies seem to be everywhere and you just gotta love them. I even do not care if they are spelled mug cozy or mug cosy. This fall and winter I don`t drink coffee from a ’naked‘ cup. Well, making them is another story. You need to know some serious knitting in order for them to look nice.
Luckily I have friends, and Marius was able to do those beautiful crochet roses that I simple had to attach to my basic cozies. Thank You Marius, these are my favorites.
In it´s November issue Laviva Magazine from Germany features our house as part of their ‚My Home‘ section. Whilst my name, Andrea Stolzenberger, is spelled correctly in the article, they got the name of my husband pretty wrong. He is a little bit grumpy about it, but still loves the photos. Laviva magazine is available in Germany at REWE, Penny, Pro Markt, Toom and larger kiosks. Here´s a sneak peek.
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 !
