I gave up my part time job and took the plunge into being totally self-employed, which has meant lots of work and even less time than before. Of course I´m still creating and I run my shop in the summer, and I´m also working as a freelance translator, so if you´re in need of a skilled German or Danish translator you know whom to get in touch with!<br />
<br />
I will continue to write about my craftwork and little shop, my passion for vintage stuff, our life in an old farmhouse in the Danish countryside, my big cottage garden and our efforts to live a sustainable lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Today I want to write about my chickens. We´ve made some additions to our flock recently and currently have 9 hens and a rooster. Most of them are bantam breeds, but I also bought two Easter Eggers, and look what beautiful eggs I get from them!<br />

I love my chickens, and everyone who has the possibility should consider getting their own little flock. Chickens are entertaining, lovely to watch when free ranging in the garden, the amount of work they cause is manageable and nothing can beat the fresh eggs from your own hens! My chickens often wait by the front door begging for treats (oatmeal or sunflower seeds are very popular), which is so cute and makes me smile every time.<br />
<br />

<br />
I believe that chickens should be allowed to free range under controlled conditions - ours have a safe run where we keep them when we´re out, but they roam the garden and horse field when we`re at home. This arrangement seems to work well and we haven´t lost any to predators yet, although we live very rural. Here you see them foraging on the horse field - this is how chickens should live in my opinion.<br />
<br />

<br />
At the moment we get around 5 eggs per day from our 9 hens, as the bantams are not high perfomance layers and some of them are 4 years already so only lay every couple of days. The Easter Eggers are laying every day, so eggs in pretty shades of turquoise, olive green and cream are piling up in my kitchen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVQLiM-j3lsJlX0k3YRHv7RziFW4xOx-l3IXTbEVkyfeTqwpGJ7gWomX1kGfYxZct-wu4pXhXwDkCPeep0ApUF28zBmzieR-tgugbHtaSG6hv6IjZrCiaA-Lsw-IID5d44jgOZwU-Ybs/s1600/Posting+31.05.2015_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVQLiM-j3lsJlX0k3YRHv7RziFW4xOx-l3IXTbEVkyfeTqwpGJ7gWomX1kGfYxZct-wu4pXhXwDkCPeep0ApUF28zBmzieR-tgugbHtaSG6hv6IjZrCiaA-Lsw-IID5d44jgOZwU-Ybs/s320/Posting+31.05.2015_5.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
<br />
And sometimes, you can be really lucky and get a double yolker - our Easter Egger Emma is laying them from time to time, not unusual for young hens who have just started to lay.<br />

Do you keep chickens? I would love to hear about your flock then, so feel free to leave a comment!<br />

We had a merry afternoon with good food and much fun, many more to come this summer I hope!<br />
<br />
I´m a bit obsessed with bunting right now and made some not only for the shop and garden, but also the chicken run. Together with some granny chic fake flowers my chicks have a rather stylish home now!<br />

<br />
Our chickens are free rangers, but we keep them inside the secure chicken run when we´re not at home, as we live very rural with quite a lot of foxes around, and I can´t bear the thought of them being taken by a fox.<br />
<br />
The tourist season is about to begin, which means I have started to keep the shop open. <br />

I´ve recently started to work with textile wallhangings again. This one is called "Nothing is forever" and was inspired by our beloved dog Snuff who sadly passed away a week before Easter, 16 1/2 years old. He had the most wonderful life a dog could wish for and had followed us since our student days through the half of Northern Europe as we lived in both Germany, Norway and now Denmark and we do miss him a lot. Here he is in a picture taken last spring:<br />

On a happier note, spring has finally arrived after an unusually long and fierce winter. Lovely to be out gardening again, especially when you have furry and feathery company!<br />

It´s the best room in the house, especially in spring, when it´s often too chilly to sit outside. Filled with light, birds singing and watching how the daffodils and tulips unfold and the garden is getting greener every day.<br />
<br />
I`ve recently bought the <a href="http://www.dottieangel.blogspot.dk/" target="_blank">Dottie Angel</a> book "Granny Chic" and I have to say it´s one of my favourite books as it is filled with happiness and crafty inspiration. Inspired by the book, I made this crocheted sling bag to accompany me to the fleamarkeds and carboot sales of the season:<br />

I also made new curtains patching together vintage fabric, lace and linen, embellished with doilies and hand embroidery and finally I re-vamped a couple of old lampshades:<br />

Personally, I´m glad to be done with 2012, which wasn´t a good year for me at all. So I´m happy to embrace 2013 and hope it´s going to be a better one for me ;-) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We´ve had quite a bit of snow already, and I love our cottage covered in white!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Unfortunately I haven´t had too much time latlely to create new things, as I´ve been busy listing and marketing my work on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FleurDeBoheme" target="_blank">etsy</a>, <a href="http://de.dawanda.com/shop/FleurDeBoheme" target="_blank">DaWanda</a> and <a href="https://epla.no/shops/fleurdeboheme/" target="_blank">Epla</a> because the tourist season here is short, the locals are not at all supporting my shop and I therefore need to focus more on selling my work online. I have also expanded my translation work to make ends meet, so if someone out there needs their website or other pr material translated to German, you know who to ask ;-) .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, I managed to work on a few new designs, partly inspired by some gorgeous vintage beads and stash I found at the lovely <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheParisCarousel" target="_blank">Paris Carousel</a> on etsy:</span><br />

As most of you know, I´m born German although I have lived in Scandinavia for the past 16 years, and my family still lives in Germany. So last week I went down to Kassel, my hometown, to celebrate my mum´s 70th birthday. And I even took a little trip further south to Frankfurt to visit an old friend and explore the city a bit more. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHWM1wWr_H22iufN6u3D1R5dIDjSi-oat-_sbe1JT0D6AKgJZv3LxYcPUmSr0sXNtzlaYJSRR1EnQ3aXKbeQSWWFDe8-hycr3tCQU63rPmG5tW41o8FtZfyKC0qGuZnsdx799-FuX4eZA/s1600/Nov2012_skyline.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHWM1wWr_H22iufN6u3D1R5dIDjSi-oat-_sbe1JT0D6AKgJZv3LxYcPUmSr0sXNtzlaYJSRR1EnQ3aXKbeQSWWFDe8-hycr3tCQU63rPmG5tW41o8FtZfyKC0qGuZnsdx799-FuX4eZA/s320/Nov2012_skyline.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div>
<br />
The most distinctive feature of Frankfurt is without any doubt the impressive skyline of the city that is both unique in Germany and gives you the feeling of actually being in America. The city is the financial Capital of Europe and seat of the European Central Bank, and most of the skyscrapers are inhabited by big German and international banks. What is more, Frankfurt is home to the second largest airport in Europe, so the population of the city is very international and you find lots of museums, exhibitions and cultural events of all kinds.<br />
<br />
I wanted to explore the craft and design scene a bit, and found that Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen and the area around the Brückenstrasse houses lots of interesting small shops run by independent designers or art co-operatives. My favourite one is called <a href="http://www.ichwareindirndl.de/" target="_blank">"Ich war ein Dirndl"</a> and offers a very interesting selection of handmade clothes, art, accessories and stationary. <br />

When I´m visiting shops like this, I´m always searching for inspiration of how to present my products. Whilst I feel I have developped my own very distinctive style over the years in my work, I still struggle to present it when taken out of the context of my own shop. The right packaging and presentation is so important to make the product appealing to potential buyers and make them pay the price you deserve for your handmade goodies, and it´s even important to tell the story behind the product.<br />

I found these small notebooks made from vintage paperware very intriguing, nicely wrapped in compostable cellophane bags and the story printed on the sleeve. Well done, so I bought a couple of them, makers are called "June and August" and you can find them <a href="https://www.facebook.com/juneandaugust?ref=stream" target="_blank">on facebook</a>. <br />

I even liked these pictures from the same shop very much, a clever combination of vintage fabric and quirky print - just what I like! I´ll buy one of these next time I visit I think.<br />

Another shop with a very interesting concept is <a href="http://designe-kleine.de/" target="_blank">Designe, Kleine!</a> in the same area, where designers and makers can hire a box for 20 Euro per month to display and sell their creations. I might actually approach them and give it a try, just to test the German market! <br />

After my little shopping round we walked along the river Main to the Liebieghaus, which was built in 1896 as a retirement home for the Bohemian textile manufacturer Baron Heinrich von Liebieg. The city of Frankfurt acquired the building in 1908 and devoted it to the sculpture collection. The museum includes ancient <span style="color: black;">Greek, Roman and Egytian sculpture, as well as Medieval, Baroque, Renaissance and Classicist pieces, and works from the Far East. </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"> You even find a very cosy cafe in the backyard, with a lovely selection of cakes that I can only recommend to visit should you guest the city. </span><br />

Summer is over, so is the tourist season, and it has become rather
quiet in my little shop. So I´ve decided to spread the word and attend a
couple of craft shows, the last one in Århus, the second largest city
in Denmark. It was called "Craft, Kitsch and Vintage" and I thought I
show you a couple of pictures.<br />
<br />
What I always find
challenging with these shows, is that you have very limited space to
present your goodies, and that things should be rather easy to set up
and safe to transport. So I came up with a new solution for my button
rings:<br />
<br />

The location of the market was really beautiful, as it took place in a historic building that used to be a riding hall and it is full of rustic charme and has lots of atmosphere. The stalls were built from vintage scaffolding which looked very good.<br />

And the best - I had lovely company the whole weekend as I shared a stall with visual artist Eeli-Ethel Polli who is born Estonian but lives in Denmark now. Eeli is a member of the third generation of Estonian artists and creates wonderful prints and stunning mixed media paintings. I recommend you to pop around <a href="http://www.eeli.dk/" target="_blank">her website</a> and take a look at her fantastic work. Here she is smiling for the camera:<br />

I can´t tell you how happy I am with my renovated train carriage! The space works perfectly with the combination of my own designs and the vintage stuff, and I get more and more people stopping by although I´m far out in the country.<br />

<span style="color: black;">I´m not as productive as I wish, because I keep the shop open as much as possible during the summer when there are lots of tourists, but I do manage to make new things of course.

<span style="color: black;"> </span>Unfortunately, the summer has been a big disappointment so far. Too cold, too wet, not enough sun at all. And my garden is invaded by slugs, but somehow the plants survive (at least some of them!) and my hortensia are fantastic this year - there are hundred of flowers on them and they´re not even in full bloom yet.</div>

Despite the cold and rainy weather I try to make the most out of the summer - going for a swim in the sea, relaxing in the hammock on sunny days, having the occasional barbecue, taking bikerides with my dog Gustav.... I even managed to get away for some days and visit dOCUMENTA 13 which takes place in my hometown Kassel every five years. It´s the biggest exhibition of contemporary art worldwide and the city is full of life and interesting people and, surprise surprise, art! Of course I saw my family, and also an old friend I´d found on facebook after more than 20 years which was really fun.</div>

He´s such a lovely dog!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbPf9hlrcA9v9cNNOKVmAloM6iZgUvAR40ILOwFAZdNmU1_9ydDXAA07pZt6J5eAFCrnVKE676Xc7ZYnOWpjStp1Cs7CX6kaFG-sgCS1rvA4O77iAnec5zSm7zdp2wMIKPP3yAHhQTzt8/s1600/dec14_2011.3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbPf9hlrcA9v9cNNOKVmAloM6iZgUvAR40ILOwFAZdNmU1_9ydDXAA07pZt6J5eAFCrnVKE676Xc7ZYnOWpjStp1Cs7CX6kaFG-sgCS1rvA4O77iAnec5zSm7zdp2wMIKPP3yAHhQTzt8/s320/dec14_2011.3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686073470811393010" border="0" /></a><br />Last thing I have to show you is my new tattoo - finally!!!! I´ve wanted it for so long but struggled to find a tattooer who was able to draw exactly what I wanted. But it was definitely worth the time and effort to find him - I love what he´s done! It is very personal and has exactly the feminine and vintage feel I had envisaged:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaU9Ao5W46l9j0gzmMKsJ7eRGUshYTTjnfnWeRpz2L9C3gHMcY6C_WE5Py1lVI0pYyIYhxmAgnow4gO1LBm9IuR_7jypJ12WxKc0rYn39tyUbozQ_pPPhJHj57ZdYRTRex5CaxcziPMOw/s1600/Tattoo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaU9Ao5W46l9j0gzmMKsJ7eRGUshYTTjnfnWeRpz2L9C3gHMcY6C_WE5Py1lVI0pYyIYhxmAgnow4gO1LBm9IuR_7jypJ12WxKc0rYn39tyUbozQ_pPPhJHj57ZdYRTRex5CaxcziPMOw/s320/Tattoo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686075664254935026" border="0" /></a><br />The picture was taken when it was very fresh, it actually looks more subtle in grey-tones now where it´s healed up.<br /><br />Enjoy the holidays and have a wonderful Christmas!

I´ve been so busy with the new joint craft shop in Ebeltoft plus getting my own wee shop ready that there hasn´t been any time left for blogging! This is what I did most of the time (apart from crafting) - painting walls + vintage furniture for the shop!

<br />Now the REAL fun part started....filling the space with my vintage furniture and wares!!! By the way, apart from the floorboards and parts of the cladding we only used recycled materials for the renovation, all the windows and the door (from 1930!) came from estate sales or salvage yards. You want to see the final result? Okay then:

We found one dead on the ground that hadn´t survived the jump, one in the nearby rapeseed field and another one in the shrubbery nearby the train carriage, the other ones we couldn´t find. We took the two birdies in, but the one we found in the shrubbery died later the same day. The other one is strong and healthy and we have nursed him for two weeks now, so he is rather tame:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0BeBaK-yxwiJjHzTb3080HbvyiV6-fkHk0xwqMGEGyWZiF_X7DI_Ai83FEUBKeyTShypoUQG0b0Xtd9kQ3UGnd0Pw1JkjUOnNTEnv3_-f_z89EXeVGXr57EJrPInKaa_JXpHRKbgulGg/s1600/june3.2010_5jpg.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0BeBaK-yxwiJjHzTb3080HbvyiV6-fkHk0xwqMGEGyWZiF_X7DI_Ai83FEUBKeyTShypoUQG0b0Xtd9kQ3UGnd0Pw1JkjUOnNTEnv3_-f_z89EXeVGXr57EJrPInKaa_JXpHRKbgulGg/s320/june3.2010_5jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478503785981554546" border="0" /></a><br />We take him out in the garden every day so he has the possibility to train his flying abilities, and he takes a round or two and then comes back to us.... very cute. He has started to look after worms and insects himself when being outside, so he is soon ready to be released into freedom.

He is much better, the blood test showed that there is something wrong with his liverfunction, but he is reacting well to the medication and has started to eat again and actually gained some weight, so we´re rather hopeful. Apparently the next week will be crucial, as his dose of steroids and antibiotics has to be reduced soon and time will show if he can cope with the lower dose, but they´re is quite a chance that he might be around for a while longer, so keep crossing fingers ;-) Here he is, enjoying the spring sun in the conservatory, I took the picture this morning:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4CP4297kj8hLr2rg6QbcBB3j7OO_z1fsPWwp4510sj-qxs37aJ9vZdouQnVts07KcuVU8QENcfYS-9mjYEA2JhTSTlBEAJRI6ZroZBBB9G3RK1I4IhXQUy9_YLAmBA4qLIEZI4MtAyuE/s1600/CS_25.03.2010.1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4CP4297kj8hLr2rg6QbcBB3j7OO_z1fsPWwp4510sj-qxs37aJ9vZdouQnVts07KcuVU8QENcfYS-9mjYEA2JhTSTlBEAJRI6ZroZBBB9G3RK1I4IhXQUy9_YLAmBA4qLIEZI4MtAyuE/s320/CS_25.03.2010.1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452548052886064354" border="0" /></a><br />I had some great swaps with blog friends lately, yesterday this bunch of gorgeousness arrived from the lovely <a href="http://caterinagiglio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(19, 79, 92);">Cat from La Dolce Vita</span></a> - lots of fantastic lace, fabric and trims and one of her beautiful artworks, based on a landscape photography:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjktTbrpLLXH02C9CeOAAl43fF2R_rfz5FJhez1XsB9lb_RVdqzX5xtugjlP3m-SAr-GjgYUh9OPxa0_-f_Tdjo8aMH4JDVbeU_OWVaM9rjm5_jj8mML-7av2K3vs63-iMvYH7fnZ9jxno/s1600/CS_25.03.2010.4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjktTbrpLLXH02C9CeOAAl43fF2R_rfz5FJhez1XsB9lb_RVdqzX5xtugjlP3m-SAr-GjgYUh9OPxa0_-f_Tdjo8aMH4JDVbeU_OWVaM9rjm5_jj8mML-7av2K3vs63-iMvYH7fnZ9jxno/s320/CS_25.03.2010.4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452549129105858402" border="0" /></a><br />Already a couple of weeks ago I got a parcel from another blog friend, <a href="http://alteredbits.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(19, 79, 92);">Alicia from Altered Bits</span></a>:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_ZJohuCku9GlGgXPVZAiZA5vrx7BNj17ss3w91fwHKXyP9eUN_NeFGJpzpxoWyvmkHV7fj1GafXD0uFObfoNAoHEciW0-CRXAj4HB0TZCij9EwfH9r9tp9B073VL1tvxR4nsis605kk/s1600/CS_25.03.2010.5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_ZJohuCku9GlGgXPVZAiZA5vrx7BNj17ss3w91fwHKXyP9eUN_NeFGJpzpxoWyvmkHV7fj1GafXD0uFObfoNAoHEciW0-CRXAj4HB0TZCij9EwfH9r9tp9B073VL1tvxR4nsis605kk/s320/CS_25.03.2010.5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452551895670686290" border="0" /></a><br />I had won the beautiful Frida ATC at her blog give-away and swapped the rhinesone buckle, and she was so nice to add some more nice bits´n bobs!

He is almost 15 years old and I know he won´t live forever, but he was always very agile and fit for his age and I can´t bear the thought that his time might have come.... He was the first pet we got together and has moved with us through the half of Northern Europe, from Germany to Denmark to Norway and back to Denmark - a trustful and dear companion. So I have been a bit tearful the last couple of days, especially because our dog Snuff is very old, too, 13 1/2 years, luckily still very frisky and cheeky, but it just reminds you that their lives are so much shorter than ours.... it´s sad!</p><p face="georgia" class="MsoNormal">So please, cross fingers that Frasse soon is his old self again as in this picture:</p><p face="georgia" class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIlTVG1jHgOeWVwPGvHRcPE1I_20ESubXWclu8HTDqrxPolk7PcoUFAOEHPLjCFW-LUyz7S3S9axsnD0jyM_qHDOziPUS3Q4lwnoLR_A6mtaWz_SulrkCF7c1EHuehTVmhkARfo0b3B0/s1600-h/CS_17.03.2010.8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIlTVG1jHgOeWVwPGvHRcPE1I_20ESubXWclu8HTDqrxPolk7PcoUFAOEHPLjCFW-LUyz7S3S9axsnD0jyM_qHDOziPUS3Q4lwnoLR_A6mtaWz_SulrkCF7c1EHuehTVmhkARfo0b3B0/s320/CS_17.03.2010.8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449671512391961778" border="0" /></a></p><p face="georgia" class="MsoNormal">See you, thanks for stopping by, and to see what´s going on in other bloggers creative spaces please take a look at <a href="http://kootoyoo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(19, 79, 92);">Kootoyos blog</span></a>!!<br /><br /><br /><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p face="georgia" class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>Fleur de Bohemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17044805502114110661noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133729817635885307.post-50456997732699581572010-02-25T14:31:00.000-08:002010-02-25T15:45:35.367-08:00My Creative Space!Once again it´s time to invite you into my creative space.

I also started on a new crocheted cushion in fresh hues of pink, red, peach, yellow, orange and green to match my round sofa cushions.

We had another snowstorm yesterday, this winter has been incredible so far as Denmark usually is not exactly known as a wintersports resort, lol. But this year we´ve actually had snow - continuously! - since the middle of decembre!<br /><br />Well, having lived in Norway that certainly doesn´t scare me, on the contrary, I prefer it so much to rain and grey days! Just thought I show you some pictures of our horses first because they looked so cute + funny all covered in snow! In the first picture you see our shetlandpony, his real name is Speedy but we only call him "the boss" (guess why ;-) ) or warthog, haha.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilZdnYJariLrjLSk0s-R9iSNiiXFV_mXMnMyDm8P0eYeBoTa_wc9q-TsTUBtO_AmCvbUI5qTg1BTGL0lo3hqr8B0VJg9UL_sZnVasF6yUyjwjP7KIXzexBHmqw6JjPi27W3Hd2_6zBXU/s1600-h/CS_04.02.2010.4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjilZdnYJariLrjLSk0s-R9iSNiiXFV_mXMnMyDm8P0eYeBoTa_wc9q-TsTUBtO_AmCvbUI5qTg1BTGL0lo3hqr8B0VJg9UL_sZnVasF6yUyjwjP7KIXzexBHmqw6JjPi27W3Hd2_6zBXU/s320/CS_04.02.2010.4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434130346078143218" border="0" /></a>Here you see all four of them munching their yummie hay, they look like a bunch of snowy yetis!<br />And - I can assure you - they are not freezing, they have a massive fur, a shed to seek shelter in and we make sure they get enough food to keep warm.<br />The two dun fjordhorses were our first horses and they are actually mother and daughter.

Only thing new are the handles which I bought at a craft fair a couple of years ago.<br /><br />Last sunday the big annual booksale started and I bought a couple of gorgeous books, among them Cath Kidstons book "Print" and a Danish book about using thrifted textiles in all kinds of crafty projects. I was so inspired by the books that I went to my favourite brocante and charity shops where I found lots of old tablecloths and bedlinen to use in a big patchwork throw for our bedroom.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydAEQiPaTldTpukg60CJAexB3NKsnnWefK2wzr7QAJsK2DMUBYb4TJWZhL48kZBvKb89maHzi7JThp1zQvINrTtrI6hwwfUVbzIKQYPUfVX3caZSXSTT1agBjmzdp2JIYEC5-HrFr1NU/s1600-h/CS_04.02.2010.8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydAEQiPaTldTpukg60CJAexB3NKsnnWefK2wzr7QAJsK2DMUBYb4TJWZhL48kZBvKb89maHzi7JThp1zQvINrTtrI6hwwfUVbzIKQYPUfVX3caZSXSTT1agBjmzdp2JIYEC5-HrFr1NU/s320/CS_04.02.2010.8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434140063435468370" border="0" /></a><br />I don´t have the time to handsew it so it´s going to be a more simple machine sewn version but I still think it´ll look nice!

One of the items I´ve listed there is this delicate lightweight shrug in a beautiful lavender shade with crocheted lace details I finished last weekend:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguKgk7OMzE7FmGwpsq5QOgGhpeM4CBG4EJM6pAwCPfUXobxQ2eHX3tIjGuAh-9FQJJ3afc5Z-sSHuK-ojKiF72reMgZqniOHxo-cIjTL8SkcH3oHbAYiigH12XtSLru7a4GTdmgkt-3Mc/s1600-h/CS_21.01.2010.3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguKgk7OMzE7FmGwpsq5QOgGhpeM4CBG4EJM6pAwCPfUXobxQ2eHX3tIjGuAh-9FQJJ3afc5Z-sSHuK-ojKiF72reMgZqniOHxo-cIjTL8SkcH3oHbAYiigH12XtSLru7a4GTdmgkt-3Mc/s320/CS_21.01.2010.3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431737379035949378" border="0" /></a><br />I also finished two of the items I showed you last week, the quilted scarf now is embellished with a pale yellow crochet edging:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLy19IiRk6C6bmEMXHreKRveGEnKQQZTX1uwLE0vYxYUr3uDSUc8-pBsxUPOq83xpPWB3PsE-nQOlxtS6wLzQ9t3K5-f9wxCwOD7FiWDjyoexaIc1xDVQ_igs_vyJwEAuGA1AzTH7GaQ/s1600-h/CS_28.01.2010.4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLy19IiRk6C6bmEMXHreKRveGEnKQQZTX1uwLE0vYxYUr3uDSUc8-pBsxUPOq83xpPWB3PsE-nQOlxtS6wLzQ9t3K5-f9wxCwOD7FiWDjyoexaIc1xDVQ_igs_vyJwEAuGA1AzTH7GaQ/s320/CS_28.01.2010.4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431759261553756658" border="0" /></a><br />Keep an eye on my <a href="http://www.fleurdeboheme.etsy.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>Fleur de Bohème Etsy shop</b></a> if you like it as I´m going to list it there soon.<br /><br />And the pale pink ruffled purse with doilies is finished, too:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN7oZm3Lx4otGJQb4LbXHUYoVOu7zBCHxLJqaMNwupcx3zaaBYRP9Hgz8YPED_bAseHcaTXePp62SuHjKN7AU6q407Q9o0LtObRLKCMfer3KmCsMEoB2JCGM8GC6E61QHzftrxbNOLPe4/s1600-h/CS_28.01.2010.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN7oZm3Lx4otGJQb4LbXHUYoVOu7zBCHxLJqaMNwupcx3zaaBYRP9Hgz8YPED_bAseHcaTXePp62SuHjKN7AU6q407Q9o0LtObRLKCMfer3KmCsMEoB2JCGM8GC6E61QHzftrxbNOLPe4/s320/CS_28.01.2010.1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431759593789886002" border="0" /></a><br />This purse is almost completely made of recycled vintage materials and I´m really pleased with it. I haven´t listed it yet as I might spare it for the summershop, but if you´re interested just contact me!<br /><br />And of course a little update on my crocheted throw! It´s coming along well I think as I crochet a bit every night:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjRGoOb3p5Zln0O1XpFOdL1yhRq3dxrSHM0JWjO1pd2Hbl5dyosUDbud2FJREtPu_jkY4PLSLynqwsmeKe-6NafKdl6ERKrASynCLznVVC9N4Pt_wW9PeVAoWbRbg8ofMNoc2c8AfXEg/s1600-h/CS_28.01.2010.2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjRGoOb3p5Zln0O1XpFOdL1yhRq3dxrSHM0JWjO1pd2Hbl5dyosUDbud2FJREtPu_jkY4PLSLynqwsmeKe-6NafKdl6ERKrASynCLznVVC9N4Pt_wW9PeVAoWbRbg8ofMNoc2c8AfXEg/s320/CS_28.01.2010.2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431759881297677282" border="0" /></a><br />I even started on a matching cushion cover in a zig zag pattern:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwuwi2CZeL0OCq9CW3fOZLmyXq3eSelE2PvisAAC-QTOtLJ5-yb7zqJG3bZPvLUkS1OTrIC8BpcKMiFRtDO3z5HNCPqFNov7xZnvK6r9RphuOstFlx1k-HH96OWZAQwtfeGD1IKd9ZC5o/s1600-h/CS_28.01.2010.3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwuwi2CZeL0OCq9CW3fOZLmyXq3eSelE2PvisAAC-QTOtLJ5-yb7zqJG3bZPvLUkS1OTrIC8BpcKMiFRtDO3z5HNCPqFNov7xZnvK6r9RphuOstFlx1k-HH96OWZAQwtfeGD1IKd9ZC5o/s320/CS_28.01.2010.3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431760219625367554" border="0" /></a><br />Other news include my new <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fleur-de-Boheme/324432238760?v=wall&viewas=1348941451" rel="nofollow"><b>Fleur de Bohème Facebook page</b></a> where you can sign up and follow what´s going on in my webshops and summershop. I´ll even use it to keep you informed about sales, special arrangements and give aways so if you use facebook regularly anyway it might be a good idea to sign up.<br /><br />Another thing I want to tell you about is the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=13670&post=94526&uid=267506963369#/group.php?v=wall&gid=267506963369" rel="nofollow"><b>Fleamarket Floozies</b></a> group on facebook. We´re a group of European girls who are participating in the <a href="http://www.dottieangel.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>Dottie Angel</b></a> challenge where we have challenged ourselves only to buy second hand or handcrafted for our house and wardrobe for a whole year! On the facebook page we barter and discuss and have lots of fun! Take a look and sign up, there are some really nice things up for swapping already. You simply list what you want to barter in one of the categories under "discussions" and upload pictures - it´s quite easy!<br /><br />The other exciting news I promised to tell you is that I managed to find and buy another vintage train carriage!! Solely dedicated to my summershop!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjabCIJt1n7p6gloVKyC0AiJvpNLSa4ZH7tmI7Nw8hSb243Iq6RRnP6tUdK0HaPg5Bs-pjupjbBU3fYMuGVEkdRU0CtlnMEmqbdCfwLM5IPFkV42QGE17UuDw_n5og62PkwjVjn3z1QUhA/s1600-h/Summershop2009.9jpg..jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjabCIJt1n7p6gloVKyC0AiJvpNLSa4ZH7tmI7Nw8hSb243Iq6RRnP6tUdK0HaPg5Bs-pjupjbBU3fYMuGVEkdRU0CtlnMEmqbdCfwLM5IPFkV42QGE17UuDw_n5og62PkwjVjn3z1QUhA/s320/Summershop2009.9jpg..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431738540029498050" border="0" /></a><br />This is a picture from the one we already have, but I couldn´t use the whole space for my summershop as we needed some of it for storage of garden equipment etc, so I had been looking for over a year after a new one as they´re quite hard to find. Another thing is that transporting them is very expensive because of their size and weight, so you have to find one rather nearby. The one I bought is exactly the same model as the one in the picture, from the 50ies, and it´s going to be put up right by the road so the shop becomes more visible and people won´t have to cross the courtyard to get there. I´m planning to build a little terrace outside the entrance where I´m going to sell seasonal flowers (for the right atmosphere) and display my stuff of course.<br />We fetch it in april as we have to build a foundation first and this can´t be done in the winter, but I certainly keep you updated!<br /><br />See you soon - and remember - to see what other bloggers are working on in their creative spaces visit <a href="http://kootoyoo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(19, 79, 92);">Kootoyos blog</span></a> .Fleur de Bohemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17044805502114110661noreply@blogger.com13
