Monday Moodboard: Spring

This weekend it was gorgeous weather here up in the north of Germany. You can hear the birds singing and the plants growing ! So, I am finally in a springy mood, and found some others from our European Street Team sellers on Etsy who do too.

Monday Moodboard: Spring Cleaning

A few days ago I started to reorganize my postcards, stamps and other collections. I found lots of stuff I even did not know I had it :) And lots of stuff I don't collect anymore. And lots of stuff that is not my taste anymore. So, my vintage shop will get lots of new entries in the coming weeks ! I am not much of a cleaning person, so this is the closest I'll ever come to a spring cleaning mood .... If you are a spring cleaning person, then here's some help from some of our European Street Team members on Etsy.

Tidbits : Peggy at the Craft Market

Last sunday it was beautiful weather and we decided to attand the largest craft market in northern Germany. The market was in the village of Süderschmedeby and there were 150 participants from the whole of Germany and Denmark. It was really huge ! We (Pieter and I, at the left in the picture above) met there with Vanessa (you can see here at the extreme right in the picture above) and Matthias (with his parents, behind Vanessa in the picture)) from the European Street Team on Etsy, and that was so nice ! I always like to see the faces behind our team members. I got some lovely green earrings from Vanessa, and Matthias made some beautiful pictures of Peggy.



We decided that it would be great if we all could attend this market next year with a big Etsy group. You can see lots of gorgeous pictures Matthias made on the market on his photo blog.

Tidbits : Peggy 7

I bought a very lovely wrap halter for Peggy on Etsy. Doesn't she look lovely in it ? Raedy for spring ! Have a look at this cute shop: anniessweatshop; she is a very lovely lady making lovely stuff !

Challenge : Spring

The challenge of the European Street Team for this week is from palepink and is called "Spring".

Here where I live, the winter aconite is number two every February: snowdrops poke their little heads through the snow a week earlier. But with their intense yellow optimism, the winter aconites make the picture complete; they are the true forbodes of spring. I really love that bright yellow and green flower !

Inspired by this lovely flower, I made a brooch of one large vintage green button in the middle with lots of small yellow buttons sewn around it (with yellow embroidery floss). Everything is topped off with one lime green shank button and a green synthetic velvety fabric leaf.
