rose quartz

...
apparently the seasons colour chosen by Pantone
rose quartz
on my pencil it says ash pink

my love for this color comes through my friend A.
she likes to wear it and paint it since I know her

in terms of fashion and fabrics
the most beautiful shades of pink I see only in vintage pieces from the 30ies and 40ies

pilea shippment

...
in times like this
we have to share more and not make money out of everything we can
there are so many refugees here in Europe from Syria
and in other corners of the world
people put their pilea on ebay
how weird is that

pilea is the plant to share and not to sell
she makes so many babies, once you have it
you don't know where to get rid of them

cuttings were send to UK, Italy and USA

from Lawren I got a nice parcel
included some more jetons from "Le nine jaune" in a color I didn't have
a beautiful collage as well

on pink

...
oilpainting by my dear friend A.
postcard from Johanna Tagada
Ranunculus
a 70ies Hippie dress I like to wear at home

-the pink of the paintings is in reality much softer then on the photo-

compositions with "Le Nain Jaune"

...
Le Nain Jaune is a game
but I just like the jetons
making compositions for the form of a handbag
playing around

more green

...
found some more objects in green the last weeks
and yes, I'm collecting plant pots but only in shades of green and black
and it seems that it's the colour of the coming season in interior

the small painting I found in an antique shop in Antwerp
it shows definitely a landscape from the canton of Berne
the house is typical for Emmental-yes where the cheese comes from!
it feels good to bring something like this home

zwetschgen

...
zwetschgen oder pflaumen
wähe oder kuchen
mürbeteig oder hefeteig
mit guss oder ohne

das sind die Unterschiede
zwischen
einer Schweizerin und einem Deutschen

Diskussionen hatten wir viele
Missverständnisse
Tradition und Erinnerung

die süssesten kleinen Pflaumen erstanden auf dem belgischen Flohmarkt!
ihm zu Liebe einen Hefeteig gemacht
und
er war ganz glücklich

greenish grey

...
green tends out to be my most loved colour
want to paint the turqouis wall in the living very dark green
found finally a fitting fabric for the yellow couch
wanted to have sage, but it's more grey
a 70ies cushion cover
the book about Agnes Martin I found via the book/shop
the collection of scandinavian glass
and the most beautiful placemat from the 50ies with linnen napkins

le corbusier in Zurich

...
the last house he did
on the lake of Zurich
built not to live in
but for exhibitions
there is no bathroom
only a little toilet

Heidi Weber

Brockenhaus treasures VI

...
after the hale
my computer had some serious problems
went to Switzerland and Germany for some days

made arrangements in the Brocki
but left all the nice things there

the macrame is the real stuff from the 70ies

the same but different

...
going through images
I found these two
a book cover
a page from Japan
the same colours


I'm lately often checking these new (for me) sites:

hippie and green - bohemian homes

nice stationary - Present&Correct

because I liked there interview on Freunde von Freunden - Association

also from Freunde von Freunden - Bonjour Johanna

for inspiration in shape and colour - mineralia
more minerals - luminous woods

mid-century and plants - modern findings - but never ever with a source, I hate that, I want to know more about the things on the photo as well from whom it is

food an nice pictures - local milk

garden tools and co. for people with money and style - the garden edit

Rezepte und Wissen aus den österreichischen Alpen - wild find

vegetarian food and nice pictures - krautkopf

nature, hippie, plants, tatoos - mintox

window in color

...
from a walk in the cemetery of Antwerp
was there some time ago

presents in pinky shades

...
presents I got
from 3 completly different women
from different origines
from different age
who don't know each other
but who know me

they have something in common
thanks A., M. & M.

2. : Gustav Klimt"The hope2" (I'm not :-)

winter wool

...
normally I finish my winter knits in summer and the other way around
but this time I did it on time!

mittens: cashmere from Lang & neon acryl from Schachenmayer
green beanie: Tvinni tweed Isager
bordeaux beanie: Baby Alpaca Lang

Tartan Scarf vintage from Harrison's Edinburgh: wool cashmere mix
vintage shrunken scarf in cashmere
gloves: Heritage brown and cashmere, Christophe Fenwick Paris

the woolen slippers from thisispaper have the perfect shape

Brockenhaus treasures V

...
the past years it was mostly porcelain
I was hunting for
now I'm looking more for ceramics
but it's a thin line between ordinairy,
too rustic and interesting
if I'm doubting for longer
I don't take it
so, these things stayed in the Brocki

grey and orange

...
the automne is here
rainy, grey and cold
orange seems to be the new winter color
not really my favorite except in nature
it's tea and Eintopf time
beeswax candels

really love this ring from wsake
this knitted sweater from Toast for M.
and this dufflecoat for me

my second home

...
I'm back in the apartment where I spent my summer
friends I know for so long
they give me peace and cosyness
the lavender blue in the sleeping room is very relaxing
