street gardening

all over Berlin you can see mini gardens around the trees, in the streets. it can be flowers or vegetables. it makes the streets look more personal and welcoming. it is also a great parent / kids activity, to learn to care about nature, see life growing, and that is also very rewarding.

here is a garden in our neighbourhood and some vintage gardening tools i saw on the fleemarket.

week end findings

here are the findings of last week end!

a leatherette tapes carrying case with handle, a salad bowl,a naive art paris tray, a vintage walt disney cards game, a porcelain plate with a robin pattern, a breakfast porcelain set, a clown eggcup, a Jopeko cortina glaze vase with handle

i also found an Erzgebirgische incense burner (made in former GDR), but i'll keep this one for me ;)

nice day to the zoo

i never felt comfortable with the idea of putting animals in cages, but now that we have a child we couldn't resist the idea of bringing her to the zoo. she is so fascinated by all the animals from her big collection of books, that we just had to show her in real!
we were actually very pleasantly surprised by the care the animals are given, and the room they have. this place is huge! and we had so much luck to see the hippos right at their lunch time! and many other key moments like the penguins swimming at high speed and the infectious laugh of the kookaburras!

home again

here are some pictures of this yellow metal pair of lamps dating from the 70's we sold. they travelled to australia and now they light the bedroom of A. who kindly sent us these great pictures. i love how they look in their new environment: so zen and refined!

week end findings

a tripod coffee table, an orange desk lamp, a vase, a miniature fishing boat, coffee cups made of stainless steel and glass, leatherette covered hangers, a sewing / knitting box.
