15°

15° degrees today.

It was the first day out for my new shoes...

I like my Saturday ritual, Going out to the farmers market after breakfast...getting nice veggies and fruits, like apples

and my favourite pastry - ever -

I just enjoyed Spring while walking and especially the sun which was sort of flickering warmly on walls ...

Got tickets for the Broken Social Scene concert in July which I look so much forward to going to with Will...

After this I strolled via the flea market. I was a little late and it was already quiet packed with people but I managed to get this nice blue vase and a lovely calendar for my desk...I am so happy about both finds and didn't spend more than 7 Euros

On my way home I biked via the fun fair which was still closed...how weird such entertaining places seem when there isn't anyone around...

Glowing tulip in our kitchen, brightened with the evening light..

I hope you all had a good and relaxed day ....

Wish you a great & sunny sunday

Oranges can brighten your day

The other day I dreamed badly - So badly that I woke up..

It was early in the morning...too early to get up and I lied in bed with open eyes...sort of starring at the ceiling and thinking what it was what woke me up...but I couldn't remember it....after a while I decided to get up...and on my way to the kitchen I passed the bowl with the oranges I got at the markets on the weekend....still not squeezed to a nice fresh juice...

I took them with me....and after squeezing the juice out of them I sat down by the kitchen table

and enjoyed every zip of it...

It was actually nice to start a morning like this (apart from the bad dream)...to sort of have time to sit down...and get slowly awake...having a fresh pressed orange juice and let the day start...without watching the time and being afraid to run late for the subway...

I am glad it is Friday tomorrow...It has been a busy week...

I hope you all had a good week...

Saturday+Sunday

Saturday and Sunday could definitely keep up with Friday...no wonder with the sun being my companion most of the times....

#1 Went for a coffee with friends to Café Liebes Bisschen

#2/3 Started a little sewing project for a friend

#4 Got up early this morning and used the first time my new teapot...

#5/6...and catched up with a friend to go and see the Lead Award exhibition

#7 had a little snack...I do love crispbread

#8 and green tea with a bit of dark chocolate...

#9 finished the tote bag

#10 Thinking 'What time might it be in Australia right now'

#11 Got surprised by a friend who baked a banana-chocolate cake for tea

Ah I am so happy about this Spring : )

Friday

I loved this Friday..

Waking up and the sun is shining...

Coming back early from work in the afternoon..

Going out with a very good friend to a nice coffee place around the corner...

Coming back into a sunny flat..

Smiling about some sun on a "rainy pillow"...

Reading in the new CUT magazine...It is such a great combination of

crafting, inspiration for little sewing projects, fashion and little stories and interviews about crafter or designer, like this lady. They even have sewing patterns and step by step manuals and many other do-it-yourself-ideas in it...

It is made with love and you can see and feel this on every single page...

A good Friday...I hope you also had a good start into the weekend..

What are you planning to do on this (Spring-y) weekend??

Have a wonderful weekend everyone...

The shadows are back

What a beautiful day it was yesterday.

When I was riding back from work I just loved the sky, the sun, 16° degrees....Oh Spring, you're back...we all

missed you here a lot...

When I came into our apartment I realized the shadows are back, too...and how beautiful they are...I love having them back : )

I am also still happy because of those two young Swedish girls I saw last night. Such great voices..

Waiting for a train

Standing packed with my bags at the central station and listening to this song

...while enjoying the Spring sun. I look forward to having a few nice days at home...
