a DREAM of a table lamp...

 

 

 

 

from the brand Tine K Home, my number 2 !
May be there will also follow number 3...
Number one (click)

I can assure you, when you get one of these lamps,
you get addicted and
 you don't want anyone else, because of their beauty !!!

 

the black board

on the right side was used for calculating the prices in an old tannery in our village.
A big old house which will be renovated for appartments soon.
There are so many very old lamps in metall (industry style),
doors, windows, keys etc...which we will get for free in a few time,
to be followed...

"Geiss Felle" (="goat skins" written on the old board)

since a long, long time, I was waiting for this moment and now, I have it...
finally:

 

 a beautiful table lamp from the brand Tine K Home - I'm in

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE..., it is just a DREAM !

Great weekend and 6th of December  & happy Saint Nicolas !

n° 5 of my ADVENT CALENDAR...

 

What I also love in this winter season, and yes we have really

winter already, is the

fire in the cheminee, candles and lights everywhere,

it is the most cosy time of the year !

And tomorrow it will be snowing again...so...

 

 ENJOY!

n° 4 of my ADVENT CALENDAR...

(in the kitchen)

 

 BLACK AND WHITE omnipresent in our home,

 

but always in combination with natural items ! I love simple,

but each day a little bit other table settings !

 

By the way:

 

The 4th December,

Saint BARBARA Feast Day 

 (the patron saint of armourers, artillerymen, military engineers, miners and others)

remembers me my italian "nonna" (grand-mother),

she always sent me a card with best wishes, 

day, which is more important for Italians than the birthday !

more on wikipedia (click)

SO....best wishes to all named BARBARA for today's Feast Day !

Today I will make some traditional Christmas Cookies

 

 "MAILÄNDERLI" how we call them in Switzerland,

 

the simplest cookies of the world, but

 

the best ones too !

new styled place (3) cowskin in the middle of the living room...

 

 

 

 from a "happy" cow. Even cows aren't

 

immortal, but this cow had at least a happy life, because it was the whole

 

life outside, on the fields !

 

(3,7 m2 big but not too heavy to shake the skin for cleaning. 

Cowskin can be cleaned with the aspirator, shaked from time 

to time on the fresh air and if there are some stains, just clean 

it with a wet towel with a little bit of natural soap)
and my doggies love them too, as we can see !

HAPPY WEEKEND,

we're having beautiful sunshine & very cold and
 it's getting even colder, next week until
minus 15°, brrrrrr !

The black and white lamp changed on to the Japonese cabinet which

is decorated very simple with a blackboard with NOEL drawings.
