Testimonial of a late night out


___, originally uploaded by paper-flower-girl.


How beautiful are the glittering frozen raindrops on forgotten fallen leaves

How beautiful are the stars on a light polluted city sky

How alive does a night with comforting conversation and a soothing glass of wine make me feel

1. Go to the hairdresser
2. Send new stock to Hannah Zakari

On n°5: my brains have had no rest lately. I've been studying like a mad man, and at night when I was in bed my head just kept working working working. But it's all at such an early stage I can not tell anything about it yet!

paper 'n' stitch

Hello again dear readers!

I have a request for you! Some of you might already know Brittni Wood's amazing project paper 'n' stitch, other not. That is why I am telling you about it now. It is an amazing virtual shop window for independant designers and artists to display their goods. Also Brittni writes a beautiful design blog!

I am one of this month's designers on paper 'n' stitch. There is a contest running to be the most hearted designer. The winner gets a reward of $150, the second place gets $50. That is why I am so brutal to ask you all to go there and heart me! You have to sign up (which is only a matter of seconds) and then click on the heart in the upper left of my shop window (click the button above).
The deadline is tomorrow, and I think I'm third now, so you can help me to be a winner!
What I want to do with the money should I win? I will invest every single penny of it in my shop. The first thing I want to do is to have ecofriendly business cards printed at a local printer and if there is anything left I will use it to buy new jewellers tools. A ring and bracelet mandrell have been on my whishlist for some time now, and I also want a jewellers saw.
Thank you so much!!

Commercials? YES

Love this surrealistic commercial by H&M.



And how romantic is this? Sofia Coppola for Dior.

INSPIRATION :: Photo frames

How lovely are these? I came across these lovely ca. 1900 handmade photo frames on ebay here, here and here. They are made with a cardboad backing, in which sewing pins with a glass head are fixed. Around the pins threads are wrapped in a certain pattern.

I totally forgot strolling around ebay could be inspiring at all.

WEARING :: russian girl


Wearing, originally uploaded by paper-flower-girl.

My mother always call me her Russian girl when I'm wearing this fur hat (from Mr. B.'s grandma) and military inspired coat (H&M). The gold ear hoops I bought from Inno, the scarf is also from H&M, the grey cardigan I'm wearing underneath is from Mango, the pants are ALSO H&M and the shoes are from Sasha.

I really have a problem: I seem to have an addiction to buying at H&M.
I think it's rather boring to wear so much clothing that is all from the same brand. H&M is just so convenient, they are inexpensive, they have lots of clothing that fits my style, when I go in there I know I will find what I'm looking for.

However, in 2009 I will try to explore other clohting boutiques, and to choose quality over quantity.
