Today's encounters that made me smile

 Some aliens waiting that Intersoup opens

 In the May 1968 demonstrations in France, one of the mottos was 'there is a beach under the cobblestones' (meaning 'beneath the harsh reality lies a brighter tomorrow'). I discovered that there actually is a beach under the cobblestones in Berlin!

'Café Wunderbar' meaning 'Coffee Wonderfull'






















Have a great day!

Café Centrale

This is a little café close to where we live. It once was called 'Café Centrale' and for us it still is. It changed a few time of owner, and each time it was redecorated. It is a lot more sophisticated than how it used to be when we arrived in Berlin, but we quite like it: vintage leather coach and armchairs, vintage paper on the wall, vintage typicall Berlin runiture outside.

Have a nice day!

New Home

The idea of this recurring topic is to show items from our shop, that we have sold, in there you home. It's really exciting for us to have a glimpse of their new life and environment, somewhere on the Globe. And our customers are really kind to play along and send us some pictures. They are very talented too!

This time this vintage industrial balance ended up at L.'s place, a very nice and passionate customer. She lives in New Orleans and, as you can see, she has a thing for balances :)

You may notice the amazing green china cabinet which seems to be displaying lot's of incredible treasures!

French Lucky Charm

Last week end was a big four days week end and we spent time chilling out. It was May the 1st which is the French labor day and the only day in the year when every French person (even kids) can sell flowers on the street, and not any flower but Lily of the valley. Every one in France buys these on this special occasion as it is also considered as a lucky charm. And it smells lovely..

You cannot find them so easily here in Berlin, I mean on the exact May the 1st. But I found some today and could not resist bringing some home.

Have a great week end!
