winter's eve
when the world stops for snow what could there be more comforting than sitting inside, drinking hot tea and training your crafting skills.
stijl design markt
here you can see the tote bag i bought at the stijl design markt in nuremberg some while ago. it was made by chantal rasquin.
i thought it would be nice not to wait until the last minute but to do some early christmas shopping this year - i ended up realizing that this year won't be an exception at all.
but while doing so i discovered some new enterprises and people whose steps i like to follow in the future, such as kulør, samesame and eva wünsch. and i learned of an online marketplace for handmade products where i might find some presents after all. it is called selekkt.com.

...sitting on the floor, printing tote bags (above you can see one i did some while ago) while listening to rumours by fleetwood mac, one of my favourite albums.
airplants
on the day that i spent in erlangen, i also went to the mädchenflohmarkt, a fleamarket made by girls for girls. the idea is quite nice. you can stroll around around, listen to good music, buy cupcakes and drink lemonade in a little café decorated with fresh flowers. that day the fleamarket was quite packed and me and my cousin left early, but there was one market stand, that impressed me quite much because of the strange and beautiful looking plants you could buy there – airplants. back home i instantly knotted some macrame nets and since then my new airplants adorn my window.
you can find a nice site about airplants here.
geometric
last weekend i was looking for a birthday present for an old friend of mine at a store called fachmarie in nuremberg. of course i ended up buying something else instead... i'm very much into patterns and so these neon coloured papers by rie elise larsen caught my eye immediatley. they looked quite pretty wrapped around the little initial rings i finally got for my friend!
