This beautiful combo of tea and  cup is truly special.

The string of the tea has a little green leaf at the end that can be put through the lid of the cup. What a wonderful idea!!

Found here.

I found so many great things on fredflare.com that I want to share. Christmas is coming and I’m glad for a little inspiration myself sometimes.

For the home

I always loved Dr. Seuss as he’s so true and fun. Have a great weekend.

This is what I’ve made out of the wreath and the mushrooms I bought at the fair. It’s plain and simple but I like it :-)

Last week we had the creative fair in Wiesbaden. From Thursday 30. until Sunday Nov 1st. About 400 stands all about crafts. A paradise of fabric, scrapbooking supply, pearls and beads, candles – they had EVERYTHING you can imagine. The traders were mostly Germans and from Holland.

After 3 hours of strolling and checking this is my treasure

* a wreath out of very thick branches for our entrance. * a welcome sign * a red metal star * a bunch of little wooden toadstools * scented potpourri, fir cones and red wooden shells (for the christmas decoration) * sticker to decorate mugs and plates that won’t come off (pirates and princess themes for the kids) * 2 different sewing patterns for handbags * a set of rub ons * a set of alphabet stamps * 4 ink-pads * packet of star brads (im so not into scrapbooking but these were cute) * 3 cookie cutter * 5 different ribbons * 4 cute japanese fabrics *** YAY***

These are the japanese fabrics. 16 € per meter. Though I have no idea what to do with it I just bought half a meter each.

This is my favorite :-) Little Red Riding Hood. It was available with a baby pink background, too but the 70ies orange is so much fun.

These lovely ribbons fit good to the deery fabric.

This is the stand where I bought the fabric. It was one of the first stands I discovered and she had an amazing range of beautiful fabrics. Tilda, Westfalenstoffe, Amy Butler etc. I took her business card with me and wrote down some prices and continued to check out the other stands. After I realized that all the sellers almost have the same prices I bought my stuff there at the end of my tour. Unfortunately the lady was very unfriendly and not helpful at all. I had the impression every question I had annoyed her and everything she had to cut seemed like a big burden… Her husband was very nice and helpful though he didn’t have much of a clue of what I asked. I could haved bought much more but at the end I was annoyed myself. I will not name the name of the lady here nor mention her online store as I don’t know what kind of day she had and why she was so unfriendly. If you want to know about her store write me an e-mail. The nice fabric can be bought there.

This was a very great shop. Second hand fabrics from back in the days. Most of them were very old but in good condition. They were sold for about 4 Euros per piece. Very special.

And here are some impressions of the rest of the fair….

The fair was great and I’m looking forward to the next one.
