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.

2. photogenius.

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...

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

november: thuringian forest.

the day we visited the thuringian forest near luisenthal we would also receive the death notice of my cousin. while the day in luisenthal was pretty magic - i even found a goat skull to take home for my not so fast growing skull collection - the time we got home and received the phone call of my grandmother, everything went dull. we always had hoped for him to recover - over the course of his sickness there were multiple times we'd thought he was on his way up, but that also counted for the times it was clear that the cancer was severe and probably not defeatable. in the end he fought four years, but he couldn't conquer. his constant optimism & general good will wasn't enough as his body decided to give up on him. i'm still thinking a lot about him, he was such a good natured guy, always seeing the good in everything and everyone. it's so strange to know that he's never going to be on any future family party gathering again. we discussed so many things whe...
