weekly glee # 15 : halloween edition!

we're close to halloween and all saints day, one of them being a creepy festivity and the other one a rememberance day for saints. the sun's setting earlier now, the days are shorter and it's time for a lot of activities like decorating the flat and balcony with pumpkins; brewing tea, wrapping in a blanket and enjoying old movies. well, let's just ignore the dark-months-depressions and dive into a ghostly, mystic world.

1. desertions.


# alexdoomer2009 has found an incredible little house in the midst of autumn nature. surrounded by golden leaf trees you can find treasures like old wheels, a picture of a white bearded man ( i'm sure he must be someone famous ), an abandoned teddy and a lonely rubber duck on a rack in the bathroom. this house has a lot of charm and it's still pretty haunting.

icy / ghostly

# invitation á la danse by sølve sundsbø for numéro 91 modeled by elena sudakova - i lovelovelove this set so much because of the ghostly feeling about them. you can almost hear the clothes whistleing while the model makes her dance movements. soooo beautiful!
# ice queen katlin aas by unknown for dazed & confused november 2009 - elizabethan era elements combined with modern fashion. and katlin aas does such a good job in being an ice-cold queen! rad!

3. architecture & design.

dream kitchen / clinkers!

# warendorf kitchens by philippe stark - these kitchens are made of my dreams! i especially am in love with the library kitchen, because, BOOKS! room for a lot of books! and i'm not kidding, i would buy a whole lot of cooking books just for this kitchen, even though i'd never have the time to cook, haha.
# villa in the woods by zecc architects - seriously, this house is the epitome of minimalism, but i adore the clinker brick design a lot. i mean, a LOT! the huge windows ( if you haven't noticed: i'm a huge window sucker, ahah :D ) it gets extra bonus points from me.
# young credenza by kenneth nilson - a seethrough armoire with fantastic laser cut work!

4. diversity.

pumpkin special on coilhouse!
next year i definitey will come up with a customized pumpkin a la crocodile or slug, haha :D i love the white ones with the ornamentic work as well. beautiful.
and the video! haha, satanic pumpkin on fire :D


jak&jil has posted awesome spike leggings on his blog! want! need! give! and god, those shoes! why oh why, do i have so little money and so little occassions to wear those?

5. video time.


an amusing video about two lovely cats dealing with halloween craziness! lurve <3

i hope you survive those two days in good condition! don't let the ghosts and saints come too close to you. wether they're good ones or not, everything mystic can be life sucking.

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere.  rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
