Happy Sunday
Really, today is the last sunday in November? This is crazy! Time flies faster than you can say "time flies". MisterT and i caught an awful flu, and we're both coughing and sneezing and blowing our noses every other minute.
Let's see what else happend this month ( in a totally random order).
My favorite mail once a year: the Tiffany catalogue
Speaking of Tiffany: it's our tradition to buy one new christmas ornament each year, and i would love to have this gorgeous candy cane
But our budget said that spending 1,50€ is smarter than spending 50€, and so we bought this plastic candy cane instead:
I made pumpkin bread
And fell in love with the Keep Calm-o-Matic
This one is great, too ( not my creation though):
Homegrown carrots
The largest:
and the smallest:
Homegrown millet for the screechy birds
Starbucks pumpkin latte und muffin:
My new vintage plaid skirt
Stuart Weitzman liked my above photo on Instagram! Oh Stuart, i love you and your fabulous shoes!
Ljusskal Wild Fig scented candle. It came with a beautiful box and a silver tassel. Adorable!
Crazy glue pattern on my DIY headboard ( tutorial to follow)
The beautiful tree in front of our house
Tea, chocoalte gingerbread and the "Making" christmas issue.
And last but not least: my NYE cake topper in a magazine. Shoe stickers and a bridal bouquet will shortly be featured in magazines, too.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Roasted pumpkin seeds, yummy!
Clean the seeds, then soak them in salt water, as shown here.
Once dry, drizzle with olive oil, add spices, bake in the oven.
I used sea salt only, and flipped the seeds after 7 minutes. I let them bake for 7 more minutes, then turned off the oven and let the seeds cool with the oven door open.
The result is wonderful. AMAZING taste!
Homemade Pumpkin Cappuccino
Yesterday, i carved our pumpkin, and for the first time in my life i actually wanted to reuse the filling and seeds.
The internet is full with great recipes: pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin everything...
And of course, the famous and popular Pumpkin Spice Latte. Latte is not my thing, but i love a good cappuccino.
Here is my version of a Homemade Pumpkin Cappuccino
At first, let's make pumpkin purree
1. Cut or tear pumpkin flesh into pieces
2. Add 1 cup of water, heat up and boil for 10 minutes
3. Let simmer 10 more minutes.
4. Blend
5. Let cool
Now let's make the cappuccino:
1. Brew hot coffee in a french press ( 2 large coffee spoons of coffee + 1/2 cup of water)
2. Heat up milk in the microwave ( 1 cup)
3. Pour 2-3 tsp pumpkin purree into a mug
4. Add spices ( nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, cocoa)
5. Pour half of the hot milk into the mug
6. Use the rest to make milk froth and add it to the mug with a spoon
6. Carefully pour in the coffee
7. Decorate with powdered chocolate
8. Drink and enjoy!
Happy Sunday
Ugh, I'm getting lazy with writing Happy Sunday on a regular base. So instead of posting it weekly, I decided to post it once per month. Anyway, let's take a look at the past weeks.
1. The downstairs apartment is getting renovated, and our former neighbour left ( or forgot?) this amazing "Mädler" suitcase from the 1940's. A quick chat with the craftsmen, followed by an irresistable smile, and this beauty was mine :) For free.
2. Hello, awesome 17,5 kg Halloween pumpkin!
3. Our good old floor lamp passed away after 8 years of service. It's impossible to find a new one that is not either super ugly or costs a fortune.
This one is fun:
However, not what we were looking for. Sadly, we had no other choice but Ikea. It's quite pretty though.

4. Twix is Raider again?! Nostalgic flair at the grocery store.
5. I turned 34.
6. A great magazine for all paper lovers: "Made in Paper" is full of pretty photos and nice ideas

Just a short break from Halloween, Christmas and Etsy.
Yesterday I did something i haven't done in months now: i scrapped a page. Just for fun and relaxation. No time pressure, no strict rules, no "it has to match the season". And a great way to use up my neverending pile of paper scraps.
Materials: Prima Sweet Fairy Collection "Blowing Kisses", Glitz Design Cashmere Dame "Chevron", glitter in gold and copper, gold glitter cardstock, washi tape, acrylic paint in gold, black and aqua
