umbrellas

i love the lighting made of vintage looking umbrellas of this lovely Paraplü shop, a shop dedicated to kids (shoes, clothes and gifts). an idea to steal! today was a great day strolling around and having a snack at Sigismondo yum!

newcomers at home

a lovely embroidered daisy and a Soehnle schale made in Germany.

also a view from the huge tree in our little courtyard, that is growing inexorably..

cuckoo clock

so here is my beautiful cuckoo clock from former ussr i found on a fleemarket. it is made of brown bakelite with pine cones relief pattern and plain wood. i repaired it and it works fine now. it sounds really loud because of the huge sound case on the back, which is ok because the clock is in my studio. the only thing is that it doesn't have a cuckoo yet. i'm searching for one :)

knitting

here are some adorable vintage knitting woven baskets! they are perfect for the storage of your pending knitting projects AND the perfect Mother's Day gift! check them out here.
and also new in the shop this adorable knitted vintage hat for the spring and the summer!

vintage bar Kohlen Quelle

this is one of the first place where we went when we arrived in Berlin and we are still going there regularly, because we love the place, the people and the food. it is named the Kohlen Quelle. it is furnished with sofas, chairs, lighting and tables of the former GDR. i especially love the yellow and purple square mural lamps!

week end findings

 

i saw quite a lot of amazing objects, that i actually didn't buy: professional scales, porcelain bambi and cat figures, teddy bears, cups with a thunder handle.

what i did buy is vintage hangers covered with plastic typical from Berlin, and beautiful German ceramic wall clocks, a set of stoneware from the netherlands. soon in the shop!

SALE

as spring is finally here we are having a special sale on a lot of items in all shop sections! check it out here

vintage family restaurant

 

we have been spending a whole family vacation week. we spent lots of time enjoying Niesen, a lovely family restaurant, all vintage furnished, and also parks and ice creams. we will be back to work on monday.

week end findings

a lovely modular string shelves set and some great lighting. soon in the shop!

con calma

finally. here is a sunday like i like them! with coffee, blue sky, sun and con calma.

con calma is a lovely coffee, italian pastries and frozen yoghurt place at arnimplatz in prenzlauer berg. not only they serve [real] coffee with a warm italian accent, but the decor is all vintage with Berlin typical kidney bean tables, chairs and lighting.

hoyeah

we planted some flowers today. i love gardening.

things that remind me of my childhood

a Fisher Price Little People mobile, a little wooden stool, a glass lemon squeezer, a chrome towel rack, a milk jug, a puffy eiderdown, a dough cutter.
