This time for Indonesia

The country where I fell in love in mosaics :)

Fly safely to Paris!

Bonjour!

I got a message from Etsy's PR Manager from France the other day, she asked me to send a set of my white fruit platters to Etsy´s press day.

The lady said: "We are organizing our first press day here in France on the 27th of March and we need your help! During this press day, we will be creating a showroom in order to present the diversity of products sold on Etsy  We will be recreating the apartment of a couple with a child, as well as a space themed around weddings. During this 1 day event, we are expecting about a hundred journalists and bloggers. This is a great opportunity for you to show off your products to the French media."


I think it´s a great opportunity to make my shop more visible, so today I sent the platters to Paris: 

Ucuspucus and me sowing some seeds

See, the title is almost a rhyme
and I feel like it´s time
to talk about pots, plants and seeds
because spring is coming, indeed :)

It´ s funny how all these little rhymes are coming out of my sleeve all of the time. Few years ago I used to make poems, but only in Estonian language. If I would sit down and take a pen and piece of paper, I´m sure I would still got it, but I pour almost all of my creativeness into my mosaics today.

So where was I - oh yeah, I wanted to talk about spring and seeds. Me and my Etsy friend Ucuspucus from Romania (Raluca is her real name and Raluca is one multifunctional person - she is an ENT surgeon and an artist at the same time) decided to sow some seeds on a same day. So we did. Here are my pots with the seeds sown already:

 

I hope to see some photos of Raluca´s seeds and pots soon, but on the meanwhile I can see her wonderful work in Etsy: Ucuspucus has also planted some plants into her paintings like on this one:

I also love Raluca´s watercolor hedgehog´s painting :

There are many more beautiful works from her, but check it out yourself, I´ll go and talk to the seeds now, this way they will grow better :)

I keep finding stuff from the snow :)

Voila - a couple of days ago I found a fabulous white coffee table :)

Winter wonderland

Yes, it´s cold but it´s also so very beautiful!

Today I found a mirror in the snow

Today when I was wandering outside
I suddenly could not believe my eyes:
I found a mirror in the snow.

It was getting very cold
so I took the mirror in my room,
it started talking to me soon:

This is how the story starts:
It said: "I was made by a girl
who put all her care and her heart
inside me so I could be very pretty
that perhaps one day I could live in a city.

Now I need a new good home,
I am a mirror with a soul".

Bye bye Christmas time

Grandmothers got this year some homemade cranberry liqueur as a Christmas presents. Me and my hubby picked the berries in September, put the berries, some sugar and vodka into the bottles in October and in December we had some wonderful homemade Christmas drink ready. It reads "a wonderful drink what makes you feel a bit tipsy" on the bottles.

 

I made some Christmas tree decorations this year. Silvery cones decorated my family member´s trees and my own as well. Actually we saved the trees and got two branches of juniper instead a tree. Let the trees grow :)

 The cranberry drink with cranberries :)

 I also made some soap this Christmas, it´s a coffee and cinnamon scrub soap. A good gift for my friends.

Our cat Tjorven also got some presents - some good bacon and gift bags to have fun with :)
