From Place To Space: Creativity in Munich


A little while ago I attended a creative workshop organized by the DIY selling platform Dawanda in a cute little café in Munich. Café Lotti is the right place for romantic souls with a passion for baby pink. Well, I went there for the first time for the creative workshop and I was predominately convinced by the good coffee and the delicious homemade cakes. But I wasn't there to only indulge in the yummy offerings or ponder over baby pink as a wall paint - during the workshop I was challenged as a DIY person. 


Truth be told, I am not a big DIY person. I just think I am not that handy when it comes to those filigree works. However, I tried my best and activated every creative cell in my body in a paper workshop organized by Makaba Design. Back then, I made my first Xmas cards. All by myself. I was pretty happy with the outcome and a few friends got my handmade cards - I hope they liked them!

Apart from my cutting and glueing, I walked around the café and snapped photos of the creative peeps. I was really amazed by the creative drive and passion of the attendees - they created lovely stationery, textile works, jewelry and more. Well, I hope this Monday post will kick off a creative week for all of us!

Are you a DIY person? Do you sell your creative work? If so, please tell me in the comment section and share your shop link!

Happy Monday, friends!

Happy Guest Blogging!



This week is a pretty exciting one for me as a blogger. I received a call from a German national TV station and they interviewed me about my blog and even wanted to film my apartment. Well, I had to refuse the filming as it was really at a short notice and my day job would not allow such quick adjustments to my schedule. But there was more happiness this week! 


I was very honored to guest blog on one of my favorite US lifestyle blogs, Shop Sweet Things. Ever since I discovered this San Francisco based blog, I've followed and enjoyed Jeanne's refined taste and style. I've particularly grown accustomed to her Monday blog series entitled 'Sweet Things Under $20'. Now can you imagine my happiness when Jeanne asked me to guest blog for this very blog series?! Exactly, first I needed to shake off my happy frenzy and then I got myself ready to chase some lovely and inspiring picks under $20. Read my full guest post over at Shop Sweet Things. Thank you, Jeanne!!


Moreover, I was asked for a mini online interview and a personal selection of pretty things on the creative hub DaWanda. DaWanda is a European online marketplace for unique and handmade items and bursts with creative goodies. So it was a breeze to select products with the tad of happiness required. If you understand German, see my mini interview here (otherwise, have a look at my product selection). Thank you DaWanda team!


And let me tell you one thing...there is more to come these days! Stay happy, my friends!
