The flow – Trail tote

January 29, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Panta rhei. Life is a flow. Most times it’s a steady flow, we’re floating in familiar waters. Perhaps you would prefer some more movement, a slight change of directions, but somehow it doesn’t happen. Are you even moving forward, is there any progress although you’re working for it? You can’t see it. But suddenly it’s there: It starts with a small swirl, you can sense some kind of acceleration … and suddenly things happen! Is ist just luck? Some kind of […]

A year in Instagrams – Free printable calendar 2017

December 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  Third year, I guess we can call this a tradition by now! When it comes to Instagram I guess I’m not what you would call an ‘early bird’. But I finally made it to Instagram and I appreciate it as an extension to my blog, a kind of photo diary and mood board. So, after a bit more than a year nadel&gabel on Instagram, I found it to be nice idea to recap this first year in a printable calendar, trying […]

Splash – Free printable calendar 2016

December 16, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Yes, I’ve made another one! Obviously a lot of readers were interested in the calendar I created for 2015, the year that’s now nearly gone already. So here it is: A brand new calendar for the upcoming year! Reduced in colour and based on different splashes and brush strokes on the one hand and vintage illutrations that lead through the seasons of nature on the other hand, completed by two of my alltime favourite fonts. And again in two versions, an English […]

Recipes, gift wrapping & free labels – Homemade hot chocolate powder and marshmallow starlets

December 16, 2013 by nadel&gabel

The christmas preparations are reaching their final stage. After making or buying all the “big” presents, now it’s the turn of the the small ones: a little something for some colleagues, neighbours,… You know what I mean! This is just the right purpose for a small gift from your kitchen. I came back to my “little bags of sweetness” – nicely packed homemade hot chocolate powder. But instead of cinammon this time I added some dried and grounded orange zest. […]
