Summer rain

Like a break in this hot summer we have here in Berlin, today was rainy. So we stayed home and went outside for a short time, just to go to the post office. On the way we passed some really cool vintage cars and took some pictures.

Week end Findings: Furniture



So here are the finds of the beginning of the week: a doll house's furniture! It was a lot of fun for me to take the pictures, i also made the little pillows with some vintage fabrics i had at home.
Everything is in such a great condition, it is also such an adorable work with lots of details: did you notice the drawers in the kitchen's dresser, the wood in the fireplace and the books on the bookshelf?
The all set is from the 1950 made in GRD and will be soon in the shop! Stay tuned!!!

Let's introduce ourselves


We are Caroline and Olivier, a French couple living in Berlin, with our baby girl. We have a passion for vintage objects and architecture since, and very recently we decided to open our brand new vintage shop on Etsy: Öppning.
Three years ago, we used to live in Paris, and we both had good, but unsatisfying office jobs. Both of us also had a passion on the side. And we shared a dream: making our passions become our everyday jobs.
One day we had the crazy idea of quitting our jobs. We moved to Berlin after falling in love with this amazing city full of history. And we started our businesses:
Olivier is a film music composer (http://www.ogmusik.com/) and Caroline is a full time crafter (http://www.excusemy.fr/).
We were soon to realize that Berlin was a vintage Paradise, and that we could satisfy our other common passion: vintage!
