one more time

i'm returning to paris for the last shows of the year...looking and hopefully buying into spring/summer 13!

please note that the shop will be closed from thursday september 27 to saturday september 29.

see you back on october 2nd!

they're here

it's not chunky-scarf-weather yet but then it may be no more than 2 weeks away...

last thursday the new collection of super soft shawls (alpaca or virgin wool or lambswool)came in. as last year, i've chosen loops as well as loose end shawls but this time round i've taken a few more colour options. 

i've just checked on the weather forecast for paris and it will be somewhere between 10-20°c, not exactly like last year! for pictures click on the link:

this & that

yesterday just before nightfall...

today i discovered this in my mailbox...
6 month right in front of my doorstep, blimey! 

my house is your house

 

wow, wow, wow, workpace has distinctively picked up because now it's ORDERING TIME. you wouldn't believe how much time goes into research, calculating prices, decision taking, picking the colours, amounts, deal with the suppliers, check the order confirmations, optimise shipping costs, paying... receiving the goods is also time consuming but that's another story...

yet when all is said and done you pause and think: i can't wait for the new products to arrive and put them out there in the shop!

in the pipeline now: new scandinavian goodies!  

a farewell to summer

last day of summer 2012...

hmmmmhmmm[...]can't say that's my favorite moment of the year. but then it's like turning (ahem) 40: you think it's the end of the world, but then life just goes on, thank you very much!

and not all the pretty flowers are gone. new in the shop are those chopstick rests (that's what i'm told they're called) with the handpainted flower on porcelain. i mean, how sophisticated can you get? but if you ever get any, make it these very dainty ones.

make me nervous

the two last days (yes, on monday too - my day off!) i have been spending hours cleaning the shop. now, believe it or not, cleaning is an ongoing activity here, i just never take it that seriously. so why now?

because i was expecting the official visit of palle of the genious danish company muuto. inevitably my mind goes racing... palle sees some of the best shops around, what would he think of my "homemade" little shop???

i don't know... but the meeting went rather well! who knows if this is down to the coffee and sprüngli sweets we gobbled?

anyway... here's the link to the new muuto catalogue, please click and enjoy!

btw: if you click on the label "muuto" below, you will be directed to older muuto related posts or pictures on this blog. 

back in stock

one of the boudoir classics is back in stock. chose the porcelain flower in blue, red, orange, grey, purple, green or pink and chose between a silver or gold pleated hoop.

chantal looking for a flatmate in zurich

we all know how difficult it is to find something to rent in zurich, so if you're on the look-out for a flat share and earn enough money this might be of interest to you! it doesn't come cheap because you get two ensuite rooms for yourself, share the rest of the facilities and have access to a garden and rooftop terrace with a fantastic vue (i have been there myself).

and now for the new bracelet again, stacked with a couple of your own bracelets it's quite "summer of love" but as far as i'm concerned this look can go on into autumn/winter, who cares anyway?

here are some more colours: 

the one shown in the middle just sold to grazielle from brazil :-)

happy week-end everyone.

done!

i have to run off for today... more pictures (other colours) to follow.

hi there!

how have you been? 

i'm back from paris and oh... the weatherman had been right: sunshine & warm temperatures! 

but of course the trip was not only about touring the city by bicycle and drinking coffee in street cafes but finding novelties for the shop at the fair. hmmm, not an easy task, let me tell you. anyway, i did the best i could and will of course keep you posted about my booty as it arrives in dribs and drabs.

newnewnew: as from today i have a new bracelet on offer that i have high hopes you will like as much as i do!! as i see it this one has the potential to become a bestseller :-) sorry, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see pictures.

busy as a bee (2)

i just took this the picture of the shorter bee necklace, sorry if it is a bit shaky.

i'm a busy bee too, i already have to inform you of the next shop closure as i'm off to the autumn fairs for a little week. 

please note that the shop will be closed from tomorrow 5.9. (actually the shop is open until 4pm)to 11.9.

i've just checked and the weather in paris should be sunny and warm!
