little flowers

...
surprise in the bathroom greenhouse
Ripsalis, wandering jew and "Zimmerlinde" from Mieke are blooming
but by checking the internet, it's not a Zimmerlinde, the flowers should be different!
does somebody know what it is?

white dream





...
I was off for one week without my computer
till the last moments I was working on the weddingdress for my friend R.
it's a while ago that I sew Haute Couture like dresses

Satin - Vintage 50ies fabric from Switzerland
Lace - Guipure lace from Schläpfer St. Gallen
Jacket - raw silk from a collection from Veronique Branquinho
Bag - Boxcalf in white

the dress is inspired by the Sixties with a contemporary touch
different shades of white also here

the wedding was in Thun and Brienz in "Berner Oberland"
