Sometimes I get request from other countries if I can send bread. No, it is not so good to send bread. But if you know someone going to Berlin, you can arrange for them to pick it up and bring it to you. I would love to do that. Thats what I did yesterday. Lenneke from Rotterdam send her Love … Read More
Xmas Basteln
I am not a Bastle Queen and I actually do not do any kind of christmas decoration in my apartment. I think candles is enough. But last night Fee had prepared a little handcraft area in her flat. So now I have christmas deco hanging on my door. The silk fabric is from Singapore (I made myself a dress in … Read More
Finally
On the top of my wish list for trading goods was a Horse. And now, lucky me, I finally got it! Thank you Nina. Your Hannoveraner is not just hansom and talented. He is also schmosig. Trade Suggestions: Connection to someone with a Horse. Or a Sailboat (thanks for the sailing sessions at Wannsee Martin!) A spot on the guestlist. … Read More
Queen of Soups
This week is soup week in the Elmlid residence. Tuesday was chicken soup with kim chi. A brutal classic that I just dare to serve my closest circle of friends. Kills any sickness and keeps the bad spirits away. Tonight I will be making a cream soup with Jerusalem artichokes. It is a old time classic that I learned in … Read More
the Country of Details
If you are going to loose your buttons, loose them in Zürich. Roosens had the best selection on fine leather buttons. Perfect for my long black wool coat. I wore it with my vintage Appenzeller Belt (thank you Sibylle and Hans Peter!) and the Margela scarf from Warsaw. I guess my mom could have looked the same when she got … Read More

It is not so common to find such huge locations in Europe and they had a nice way of dividing the dining areas. Reminded me of the States. And I … Read More

In Switzerland you can expect that things are going a bit slower. Evil tongues would say they are a bit slower. I think they … Read More
Diggin’ in the crates
Thanks to you I found this crazy Military vintage store in Löwenstrasse. I have never seen such a mess in the world. Found a leather bag from ’83. 2 soup spoons from 1911 (New Year??). And some gloves from ’73 that will be perfect as cooking gloves. By the way, I love this scarf. Was a present from Serek at … Read More
Kreis 5
The air in Zürich is fresh, cold and crispy. I am wearing 2 pants and a leather jacket under my wool coat. It is time for das Eichhörnli. The Classic. Simple high quality food, old interior and verdammt good wine. This is all I need. ————————— I had a winter salad with rabbit. As a starter I had a bullion … Read More
