New snailmail arrived: lovely things from Nina & Sylvie! Thank you so much! To all of you I wish a wonderful start of the week!

Finally some sun for my plants and once again, snailmail from dear Claudia arrived at my mailbox! She spoiled
me with a great collection of her handmade cards and some different teas, which is pretty welcome, because I am currently feasting fasting on coffee and there can't never be enough tea around!
Did you choose to feast fast on anything this feasting season fasting period (sometimes you should loke up certain
terms - sorry!)? I am really curious, because I met a lot of people who can not understand why I am doing this.

Happy Valentine's Day to everybody! Hope you enjoy it with all your loved ones!

(Another one for my succulent collection - as every year!)

Two new snailmailings in my mailbox! Thank you so much!

First one is from lovely Claudia again: we met through blogging and write each other on a regular basis now. Claudia is such a talented designer: if you don't know her yet, visit her wonderful blog and her shop, where she
sells the most lovely handmade things!

Second is from dear Vimie. She lives in the U.S.A. and her packages are always a little surprise! Full of herbal smellings, wonderful tasty things and the most beautiful jewelery! I am such a lucky girl, you always spoil me with such lovely treasures!

First of all, I want to thank you for your lovely comments on my last post! The comment section is closed now and
the winner of one of the flower paintings is:

SEWON! Congratulations, dear one! I will contact you soon! 

To all of the ones, who did not win: I am really thankful for your participation, reading and visiting this little
space of mine! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend & be sure, there will be more future give-aways for you!

Sorry for being so absent these days!!! I even missed my blog anniversary.
No camera, no light, moving in a new apartment, and yet a lot to do for my exam next January!
Thanks for all your reading this out there, I am really thankful for this!

Do you know Karina's textile letter project? I was so pleased, when she asked if I would join! I love snailmail as
a lot of you do the same!

I am pretty spoiled, I have to confess. I found two snail mail packages in my mailbox at one day!

Dear Vimie sent me a wonderful turquois ring! I was looking for one some time but never found the right one!
This one seems perfect for a bohemian wild desert look! Another gift was this beautiful hairband and a huge bag
of dried hibiscus flowers! I tried them as tea yet - such a wonderful flavor! Think they will be pretty in some
sparkling wine too.

Second package came from dear Sylvie! It is full of little treasures again! Vintage cards, vintage yarns, shells and
pencil! I especially love the little doll and her letter of dried flowers from her own garden!

Thank you both so much for treating me this way ❤! It is a pretty hectic time again and these little finds really made
my day!

I wish myself an apple pillow. Doesn't they look so soft and cozy? (by Studio Meez.)

Another Summer gift swap arrived! Or better said a letter that told me I could get it at the "Zollamt" - somewhere
in the middle of nowhere. It took me two hours but if you know german bureaucracy, the most I was waiting. When
it was my turn, the bearded old man behind the desk was very friendly and funny. We unpacked my little package
from Olga together (he was so kind and let me open it by myself) and looked at all the beautiful small things she
sent me!!! "Oh - how beautifully made", he said and called it "little box of marvellous little things"!!!

Dear Olga, I really love what you sent me, it is so true, a little box of wonderful beauty!!! Thank you so much, there
will be something in return soon!

A beautiful package from Vimie was waiting for me! Full of softness and herbal smellings! So wonderful, thank
you so much, dear Vimie!

The first blackberries this summer.

Eating a lot of zucchini lately, our veggies growing so fast!

Freezing. In July.

Did some sewing. Missed it.

Spent a lot of lonely hours working on my thesis. Not that bad, I can say it was successful to be on my own.

We planned our summer vacation: this is it! I am so excited, I have never been to the U.S.! We will travel for three weeks around the South. Any recommendations?

56.

Working on Mina's gift swap. I am a bit late, but I'll hurry up, promised! First wild blackberries. Lots of rain. Wondering if summer will return.

1 week, 2 cities. Our project here.

We met so many nice and inspiring people who were so kind to let us peek in their little rooms and studios full
of inspiration!

Lots of swedish candy.

Theres a huge definition lack between swedish hostels and german ones. I prefer the swedish.

Bullar & coffee make a perfect breakfast.

Enjoyed the sun and bavarian beer.

My favourite song lately.

Another wonderful package from dear Claudia! She's always spoiling me with the loveliest treasures!
Wish you all a wonderful Easter holiday with lots of sun, friends and family! See you next week!

Do you know Eva's Shop? She is creating the most beautiful little things, just take a look and enjoy! I ordered one
of her Crochet Hook Holders and I am in love with it: the pattern, the colours, the soft fabric and the clean way it is
made is wonderful!!! Thank you so much Eva and I hope you don't mind I will use it for my favourite pens instead :-)!
