Owl Invasion

So I love owls :) Hasn't really been a secret. But recently I realised that I had started a whole Owl Jewelry collection for my shop without even noticing it. They just crept their way in over the last weeks, one or two with every new jewelry batch. But why not, they make great accessories! The perfect mix between cute and sophisticated ;)

The wise old owl

Sat in an oak.

The more he saw,

The less he spoke.

The less he spoke,

The more he heard.

Why can't we be like

That wise old bird?

Dragonfly & Hummingbird

Just wanted to introduce these wonderful new earrings from my shop! I have never seen a hummingbird in real life but I guess they must be very beautiful and special creatures. Whenever I hear that they flap their wings up to fifty times per second (in one SINGLE second!) I try to imagine that and its just not possible. I simply can not vision it! How do they do that?
When I took the pictures of my earrings I tought that hummingbird is a really nice word (it's Kolibri in German) and that made me wonder if there are any hummingbird poems out there that I don't know about. On my search I stumbled upon this little poem by Emily Dickinson that I really liked. It is also called  A Route of Evanescence:

The Humming-Bird

by Emily Dickinson

A route of evanescence
With a revolving wheel;
A resonance of emerald,
A rush of cochineal;
And every blossom on the bush
Adjusts its tumbled head,--
The mail from Tunis, probably,
An easy morning’s ride.

Cake and Wine

While I love cake in every posssible combination, wine is not my prefered drink to enjoy with pastry.  - Only in the form of my grandmother's redwine cake :) But maybe I should give it another try oneday - Little Red Riding Hood seemed to like it a lot.

I love these earrings very much, also because Little Red Riding Hood has always been one of my favourite fairy tales. It is frightening and at the same time full of humour. While in Germany there are only three names for all the different versions of the fairy tale (Rotkäppchen (und der (böse) Wolf) in other languages there are so many that it is confusing sometimes. 

This is the beginning of a version of Charles Perrault's 

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her. It suited the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.

This is my cute Red Riding Hood Jewelry Collection, dedicated to the wonderful fairy tale:

Lime Green

don't know about you but I think this is a great colour for butterflies and an even better colour to wear on your ears. Personally I like to combine them with a white lace scarf and a simple shirt.
