Why I Love Spring So Much

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:35:00 +0000

Because all fruit trees are in full bloom right now and it looks absolutely magical!

After we had an unusual long winter over here in northern Germany we are now blessed with a beautiful warm and sunny spring.

There are many apple, pear and cherry trees where we live - even along the streets.

Don't their blossoms just look like perfect little fairy-playgrounds?

Happy Day,

Anette

Today is Macro-Monday!

Joyful Spring

In a moment I will get on my pony for the very first time!

Her name is "Vicki" and she is an austrian mountain horse - a Haflinger.

Funny - because we are at the north shore of Germany right now - flat land as far as you can see...

On our way up here we stopped at a flower stand and I thought you might enjoy a little spring flower greeting on a Sunday.

Happy Spring,

Anette

Weekend - Sun - Spring

...and the new german issue of Sweet Paul Magazine in my mail box.

It couldn't get any better!!!

Gorgeous food styling, fun DIY's and lovely people to meet.

I especially love the cake recipes and a beautiful story about violets by my favorite german stylist Dietlind Wolf.

If you are not already familiar with her work please visit her site - it is absolutely stunning!

And I really liked Paul's color-salat-story. It is amazing what colorful vegetables and fruits nature provides for us to play with...

Aren't those paper wax flowers cute? I will definitely try to Diy some too.There is a full tutorial in the magazine.

This issue will be available for purchase from March 5th on - many thanks to Sweet Paul Germany for providing a free subscription.

What makes You Happy?

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 05:25:00 +0000

...Steffi is asking today.

Next to my Family + Pets , Job, time for DIY's and a bit of Happiness-Theory it's mostly the beauty and aesthetic I found in flowers, trees and natural landscapes which presents true happiness for me.

And being able to capture and preserve all this Happiness with my camera makes me really really happy! :)

Happy weekend to you,

Anette

P.S. Fridays is also "Flowerday" and more Weekend Flowers are collected here and there is another one called "Blommig Fredag" - doesn't that one sounds cute?

Cozy

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 06:58:00 +0000

I'm always fascinated by the coziness of moss; it's filigree structures and the beautiful shades of green.

This is the other advent wreath I told you about yesterday and I decorated it with just some natural pin cones and four candles in maison jars.

More coziness today hier!

Have a happy day,

Anette

Advent Advent...

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 06:52:00 +0000

...soon the first candle will be lit...

We celebrate Advent with a wreath and four candles - one for each Sunday before Christmas.

I like to buy my wreaths at the Waldorfschool bazaar because it is a nice way to support the school.

This year I came home with a mistletoe wreath and four adorable wooden star candle holders.

They were a dollar and fifty cents each inclusive candles and are made by the students.

Aren't they beautiful?

I also liked those "flower balls" a lot.

I bought one additional wreath, but will show that one tomorrow...

until then...

...have a happy day,

Anette

Rose In A Bottle

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 06:17:00 +0000

We live near a nursery who cultivates their own cut roses.

This is rare because normally flower shops and nurseries just order them and they get shipped from far away places to be sold then.

Whenever I can I make a point of supporting local and sustainable operating businesses.

And their roses a really extraordinary beautiful, don't you agree?

This one is one of the last ones of this season before it gets to cold.

It has already snowed in some parts of Germany yesterday...

HAPPY COZY MONDAY,

Anette

Favorite Places

nospam@example.com (Lebenslustiger) — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 00:15:00 +0000

I just arrived in California a few days ago. So lovely - I missed it a lot! If you would like to get up-dates it would be wonderful to connect via twitter and Instagram!

Meanwhile here is a re-post from last summer:

Back to my old home town Santa Barbara for a few weeks.

Well, what's new?

Not to much - i guess, and that's a good thing...the wonderful sun, the beautiful beaches, the ice-cold ocean, relaxed easy living...

Let's take a look then at some of my favorite places around town over the next weeks.

Are you ready for some more fruit and vegetable pics? Because I'll start with my deeply beloved farmers market!

Santa Barbara and it's neighbor cities Goleta and Montecito put on a farmers market in different locations on each day of the week!

Fantastic - I have been so grateful for it all those years we lived in Santa Barbara and basically never missed my 'market days'.

I have always been treated to the most wonderful, sun-kissed produce.

It's all fresh, local and mostly organic. If you are a regular at the market you get to personally know many of the farmers, which makes your shopping an even more fun event.

Some of my favorites at this favorite place are:

Hmmm - I"m off to lunch now...

XOXO, Anette
