Fall

Because I love fall and it's colors I've redecorated my Blog! TADAAA! Love it!

Soon i'll make new posts about all the garments I've made but not yet posted! I'm also working on a new dress (my Christmas dress)! So stay in touch!


I've made some huge chances to my sewing workplace! (I now have one :)). I cleaned out the garage and now I have a sewing place of my own.

Grandma's Generosity

I really love vintage jewellery. Occasionally I go on a Vintage Hunt to the flee-market in town. A few weeks ago I bought a fabulous silver brouch for only 8 Euro.



My love for vintage jewellery is not something new. When I was a little girl I've spent a lot of time admiring my grandmothers jewellery. Lots of this jewellery was in our family for some decades. My grandmother was always very reluctant on handing down those family pieces , but finally she has donated me my favourite pieces of jewellery! I'm so happy with them and wear them all the time! They are my precious! Beneath you can find some history on each piece of jewellery.

The salamander

This brooch used to belong to the maid that worked in the house of my great-grandparents. She was friends with my grandmother and gave it as a gift to her when my grandmother was a girl. My grandmother never wore, but kept it as a reminder to this women.

 These earrings and the brooch belonged to my grandmother's aunt (Tant An). She was the wife of my great-grandfather's brother. She used to own a lot of beautiful jewellery, furniture and clothes. Her belongings where divided between my grandmother and her sister. 

What a mess!

It's been a while since my last post, but september has been such a turbelent month.

The first two weeks of september I've worked in an orchard to collect the harvest. Then my mother has had an operation. Since then I've been running the household. This leads to the fact that I had very little time to apply for a job or to work on projects.

During september I've completed one project, my favourite so far. The cape form Burda I've posted about some while ago.

 

Pictures of the result will follow.
