Lights

I need many lights to bring me through the winter darkness.

Last year...

... at this time I was in Sweden. First a few days in Stockholm, then in Västerås.
I enjoyed it and wish I could be there now.

Promising packages

and look what is inside: beautiful things from Marion's DaWanda shop "morgen ist gestern heute".
The forest mobile is a gift for a colleague. My co-workers and I will send it to her, when her baby is born in january. I hope they will like it.
And the little fox pin is for me.

Calendar 2012

I don't have too much space for calendars, so I limit myself to a few favourites.
In my hallway, I have Martina Hoffmann's "Mädchenkalender". It makes me happy every time I come home, open my apartment door and look at it.
You can order the calendar (there are three paper sizes) from Martina's DaWanda Shop "Stift und Papier". She also has lovely postcards and prints.

First picture: calendar 2012;
second picture: from this years calendar;
third picture: some of the postcards, I have also ordered.

Finally weekend

Breakfast this morning was somewhat simple.
I had a dreadful workweek and am still terribly tired.
But the sun is shining and I am looking forward to this weekend.

For the best tomato sauce in the world...

... that's all you need: good olive oil, garlic (or onion), pureed tomatoes, salt, pepper, chili (if you like) and time.
I got the recipe from Claudio's blog "Anonyme Köche". He is cooking and showing some pretty amazing things on his blog. But because I am not a very good cook, I love his simple recipes.
This is another favourite: "Orecchiette e Broccoli".
