let's play!

i love the idea of giving vintage toys to my kid. i think it is an excellent way to learn some important things, like ecology, sharing, caring.. what a wonderful thing also to pass on a toy that brought so much fun to other kids!

street party

every year, at this period, there is a party in our street (i mean the whole street): fleemarket in the day for kids and grown ups to sell their toys, clothes and shoes. and at night, people bring the tables in the street for barbecue and pic nics with the neighbours. honestly i love this and even more because i find this togetherness so unusual and unexpected in such a big city like berlin.
