Monday Morning!

And sooo much to do till sunday. Todays task: Print, cut, sign and roll at least 150 lots for our big raffle at O’zapft is… . Well better keep going, because there is still the juwellery tree to saw, the salt dough to make for the children play corner.

Not to forget all the fall and winter products which arrive daily now and want to be added to our stock system and to be signed with their prizes… . So I’m off for today bussy days ahead Ahhhhh, nearly dropped that there is a shop opening from one of our friends, a great goldsmith working with fair gold and making great stuff: frau dietel. Anybody around next weekend? Then join us!

I Love… Passionate Stories on Thursday

All my craziness today is upon dachshunds. A dog breed which is often misjudged. In common minds they are known as stubborn and headstrong. But the truth is: They are patient, persistent, independent and courageous. When I believe my grandpa. He always had dachshunds more reddish ones:

These eyes can’t lie!

So you see, that I’m not able to be rather objective at that point. And now, our new theme “o’zapft is” starting a young, talented women from Bavarians capital Munich sent us these cuties:

She is a great Origami folder, I would say. Maybe we should do a course with her on how to fold some nice figures? If you are curious on what she´s doing else:  See more of her work here.

For now I leave you to arrange the dogs in our shop-windows. Kiss!

Another redecoration day at Beuteltiere

Today was a big day for Beutetiere: big redecoration day! Starting a new theme that is called O’zapft is (that’s what they say at the Oktoberfest in Munich when they open the first beer barrel) and taking out all the Autumn/Winter stuff.

For the Oktoberfest-theme we have a nice pretzel and hay decoration. Waiting for the bunny’s now to come And of course some new products that fit the actual theme: Folkloristic bags made from old duffel bags in a german prison for women. (You will get more information on them soon.)

Now it’s time for me to help Katrin to tidy up the mess we made during the redecoration.
