I mean, is it even possible to turn a boring blue wood room into something cute and nice? Well, first there was the window and the door...with the ornamental wood border, which I found at the fleamarket, this was a start for sure. But even more worse was the plain side of the storage room. To give it some kind of a nicer character it took me some frames, a painting, hooks, metal signs and a lot of logs and…
Well, I don't really know. But at least my husband thinks it is as these things suddenly appear at our house. However what I know for sure is, that this will not be my last project regarding that matter. It all started when I found this great PomPom maker in a store in Cologne (thanks to Marius). After finishing all my inventory stock in wool during the first evening, I was overwhelmed when I hung up the pompoms at the…
We just did it! it is 7pm, the dish washer is running, the garden furniture is at the correct place again and we can sit relaxed in our deckchairs and thinking about a great day. We both agreed: We really enjoyed our first Pop-Up Tearoom and do believe that our guests liked it as well. We got to know some new nice people, everybody talked, it was a very relaxed atmosphere, you just had a nice sunday afternoon with great…
Next sunday we are hosting an Afternoon Tea at our house. I managed to create the menu, which will be placed under each plate. The challenge was, that the colours of the printed menu needed to match with napkins, mugs, plates, etc. If you love sweet treats and are wondering about the so-called "Vintage Summer Cake" I am thinking about a triple-decker sponge cake with berries, fruit syrup and cream - something you can enjoy all summer. We are still…
May I introduce you to: the sweetest, prettyiest, wonderfullyiest and nicest garden chair, you have ever seen? Since my friend anna told me about this chair, which she has seen in May in the Flamant store in Knokke/ Belgium, I was sneaking around it week after week. Luckily for me: the weather in Germany was so unpleasent and bad, that I never really needed to buy it. The woman can wait, yes! and last thursday the day finally came: sale…
Yes, I know what you are thinking: How many buntings does this girl need ?? This is not only my third bunting, I have the feeling that there are still even more to come... The idea was the following: I wanted to start some knitting again, and no, socks would have been too difficult for me, because I am a real beginner here...I needed something really easy, but still something I would deeply enjoy when it is finished. So, the…
Ohhh...I can do that! Thanks to the MOLLIE MAKES magazine, I am totally excited lately about the idea of knitting something, make embroideries, doing crochet, all kinds of this stuff...There are always so many ideas what you can do, and to start something I bought some embroidery hoops. The last days you could have seen me sitting on the porch always with a needle, thread and the hoop in my hands. The result does satisfy me very very much, and…
