What lies ahead – Free printable calendar 2018

December 17, 2017 by nadel&gabel

It’s already so close to Christmas! And as this year Christmas nearly coincides with our move, it is time for a longer break here on this blog until we have fully arrived in our new home and a new year, excited about what lies ahead. But I am not saying good bye for this break without having thanked you, my readers, for reading and commenting my posts on this blog or (increasingly) on Instagram. Since I’ve started this blog in […]

Peace at the mountain – Hiding away in Bad Gastein

April 11, 2016 by nadel&gabel

When we had planned our stay at Bad Gastein we thought that Easter would be a good time for a little timeout. We didn’t know then how urgently we really would need a break. So our plan for our short Easter holiday in Bad Gastein was to do mainly … nothing! And beyond the seven mountains among the seven dwarves… … we found the perfect hideaway, the Hotel “Miramonte“: A former “Kurhotel” (spa hotel) build at the turn of the century, […]

Journey through time – A family gathering in the Black Forest

March 8, 2015 by nadel&gabel

On this first really springlike sunday this year I refuse to spend a lot of time at the desk. So excuse me that I will mostly let pictures speak for the moment. We spend a part of the weekend in the Black Forest where a family celebration took place. We celebrated an 80th birthday – a moment to review, a journey through time. The celebrations took place in one of the most traditional German holiday regions – the Black Forest. […]

Retro look – Embellished tea towels

January 11, 2015 by nadel&gabel

I hold this truth for self-evident: you can’t have enough tea towels in your kitchen. … No visit to IKEA without finding me carrying a set of tea towels in my blue bag back home. They’re a cheap and easy way to bring a bit of change to your kitchen, a light and easy alterable way to try new styles, to respond to moods or seasons. I am especially fond of those simple blue-white or red-white traditional patterned towels. You […]

Turné i södra Sverige II – Lakes, forests and the Göta Canal

September 7, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After some swedish culinary impressions here’s the next chapter of our foto travel journal: The first stop we made after we got our rental car in Stockholm (No Volvo! Big dissapointment for his part!) was at the biggest IKEA in the world. Why? – Let me go farther back… There are a few things that are good to know, when you decide to travel to Sweden, that we learned sooner or later: 1. Tourism in Sweden is mainly directed to […]

Industrial ambience and lots of creativity – “Vogelwild” market

May 12, 2014 by nadel&gabel

This weekend I mingled with the young-creative-hipster-world – on the lifestyle and design market “Vogelwild” that took place around here. A fine selection of different kinds of small makers presented their craft and design work. From furniture or clothing, bags, jewellery to stationary – everything could be found. A lot of the designers are working with ecological and fair produced material or are recycling old material – an approach that becomes more and more important for me, too. The industrial […]

Antiquities, and a perfect carrot cake cheese cake for Easter sunday

April 11, 2014 by nadel&gabel

First it was only carrot cake I somehow got obsessed with. All those tempting recipes around … thoroughly – and much to my friends, neighbours and colleagues delight – I did extensive research and testing. Cakes that passed my kitchen or caught my interest were Hannahs carrot cake with cream cheese honey frosting (very carroty and nutty, adding an intense flavoured honey to the frosting is just wow!) With a little touch of fancyness and probably only for culinary open […]

Customized – Retro look tarva dresser

October 9, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Finally! Look what I’ve made… It’s already about half a year ago since I’ve bought this tarva dresser from Ikea – with the idea of giving it a face lift… but it didn’t happen a lot – till last weekend. In a sudden spate of activity I looked for some inspiration and help on the internet (Have a look at this pinterest board), drove to the building centre, bought wood glaze and paint … and in the evening I had […]

Perspectives – My favourite Android photo apps

August 19, 2013 by nadel&gabel

When it comes to technical things, I am not what you`d call an “early adopter”, but more a “latecomer”. It’s something between “Do I really need this, and what for?” and “I’ll never understand all those details!” that keeps me resisting. It is therefore not surprising that only recently I am the owner of a smartphone … yes, and I even didn’t buy it myself. Nevertheless I warmed up with it. Even more, I got really investigative in finding new […]
