shipping price

The German Post will mark down their international
shipping price starting on Januar 1st, 2011 - yayy!
I'm so excited about this!

At the beginning of 2010 they've made changes in their
categories, that I have to send my parcels to non-European
countries for a much higher price than the years before.
I've sent a complain email to them, explaining my situation.
Although I knew it wouldn't make a change, I thought at
least they'd know. I was hoping, that much more business,
who are using the service in this weight-range, would speak
up as well - I think some actually did and thus the future
change.



Anyway, since I'm so happy about this (and since I think
customers would actually need the change now during the
holiday seasons), I changed all my listings and am now
offering free shipping in my shop till 11/28/2010.

washi collage

Made this collage, when I had to say goodbye to my linnet
a few weeks ago. Still not a master of saying goodbye, uh?
Even worse, I guess - I could't say goodbye to this...

a trip

I visited St. Gallen yesterday. It was my first time, but I will
go back to discover more. I only had the time to visit the textile
museum (some of the antique embroideries are to die for!!) and
to stroll through the city a little bit (next time I will surely go
into this gallery to take a closer look at the lovely paintings).



Wishing you a lovely weekend :)

wreath

I trimmed two of my six lavender bushes last Sunday (I do
it in stages so that the bees and other insects could still enjoy
them too). I decided not just to hang them over to let them
dry but made a wreath. Never made one before, so I'm pretty
pleased with the not-so-perfect result. Learned one thing
while making this: next time I'll use an environment friendlier
material for binding (because of the wire I'll have to unbind
this wreath before I can throw it away one day - not so clever,
hm..?).

Hope, you are all well.

yumm...

I made a hot spicy curry with courgette, potato, tomatoes,
red onion, red chili, garlic, lemon juice, shrimps, salt,
pepper, cumin and a little bit honey. But the curry wouldn't
be complete without the fresh basil - it's not only to garnish!
