I love this Picture made by Anna Ådén. I found it today on Clemens Blog.

And I promise, you will feel a warm sun-reflection on your skin, when you hear this great song from the Cults at the same time!

GO OUTSIDE // CULTS

this is my desk. ok ok only a little part of the things which are on my desk.
essentially i like to show you the floral- ink drawing. it was a great “schöneberger” flea market- find and this great card with amazing  colours- drawn by Wesley Willis (May 31, 1963 – August 21, 2003). i love his work so much!

Wikipedia knows it better:

“Wesley Lawrence Willis was a busker, musician, comedian and artist from Chicago. A diagnosed chronic schizophrenic, he gained a sizable cult following in the 1990s after releasing several hundred songs of simple but unique music, with emphasis on his humorous, bizarre, and frequently obscene lyrics. In addition to his large body of solo musical work, Willis fronted the punk rock band the Wesley Willis Fiasco. He also produced hundreds of unusual colored ink-pen drawings, most of them of the Chicago skyline and CTA buses.”

Besides the fact, he sang about all the things i like e.g. McDonalds, Batman i´m not really into his music…guess why?!

WHAT YOU HEAR: ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS // WESLEY WILLIS

Back!!!
Jetzt, angekommen in Berlin. Kopf reist noch nach.

Berlin, Berlin, Du bist ein heißes Pflaster
wer Dich nicht kennt, verbrüht sich leicht den Fuß
Wo die Moral wohnt, wohnt auch gleich das Laster
und der Verriß blüht neben süßem Schmus
Berlin, Berlin, hier lebt der Mensch gefährlich
und rutscht er aus, dann dreht sich keiner um
Doch haut er hin, dann ist er der Beifall ehrlich
- Berlin, Berlin, Du bist mein Publikum

Berlin, Berlin, wenn Deine Blumen sprießen
da draußen, in der Laubenkolonie
sieht man Dich steh´n und fleißig sie begießen
das Rosmarin und auch den Sellerie
Fühlt Mutter ihre Lebenszeit verfließen
im Testament wird schnell noch angebracht
Vergeßt mir nur nicht, Vatern zu begießen
- Das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie es lacht
- das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie es lacht

oh I’m still living
/ at the old address /
and I’m waiting on the weather
/ that i know will pass
/ i know that its true-its gonna be a good year
/ outta the darkness-and into the fire
/ ill tell ya i love ya
/ and my hearts in the strangest place
thats how it started
/ and thats how it ends

/ and i know your with me
/ its a point of pride
/ and its louder then lighting /
in this room of mine

Langsam beginnen wir wieder mit den Vorbereitungen für unsere nächste Ausstellung. Dieses Mal wird es ganz nach meinem Geschmack. In Kooperation mit der wundervollen AROMA- KAFFEEBAR hier in München zeigt THE BAKERY zauberhafte Fotografien von JULIA SANDER.
“Das Süsse Leben” ergründet die Frage warum uns Schokolade so sehr fasziniert und was eben dieser Genuss in uns auslöst. Julia hat dazu wunderschöne Antworten gefunden…
Um dem Namen THE BAKERY alle Ehren zu machen lässt uns die AROMA- KAFFEEBAR am Abend der Vernissage an Ihren vielen Köstlichkeiten teilhaben. YUMMY!!!

men, time goes by too fast…i´m so sorry for my discontinuity! i like to show you some nice things from last week…first is a old tapestry from BANGUI, central-africa. my relatives lived there and it was a gift to us when we where little. now this masterpiece is mine and it reminds me of my child´s room back in the days. i love it. the memory, the great needlework, the colours and the motive.

AND look at this cute flower and the special mail which my sweet five-year-old nephew sent to his “fast-food aunty” from his holidays in sweden: a delicious-looking hot dog (varm korv)- postcard- deeply in love with the stamps (and julius of course)

+++ my favourite song from CAROLE KING´s Album TAPESTRY

these are my favourite holiday purchases from spain: 
a nice bedlinen from ZARA HOME…i´m so in love with the  graphics!

to beautify my cupboard: some PROCELAIN DOORKNOBS

plus the best-tasting and best-looking salt in the whole wide world. FLOR DE SAL DE´S TRENC, Mallorca. 

AND i bought this nice plate at the FLEAMARKET on saturday- it fits perfectly to the rest of my dishes.

have a nice and happy week, you wonderful people!

today is such a great great day- its LUIS birthday!
i don´t know if its the real day of birth because he´s a really poor little stray from poland but the nice woman from the pound estimated the 30th for sentimental values. as i met him he already answered of the name “Luis”…isn´t it matching? my full name is Ann “Luisa” and we have a lot of other things in common (thankfully not the ears) !
Luis is reeeeally affectionate and he follows me wherever i go. every day. every minute. he always keep me in sight. always.
you can´t imagine the lots of  happiness and love  he gives.  he´s is the most loving thing in the world…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

yay! i completed my annual tax declaration, the “steuererklärung2008″ and i´m totally sick of that kind of work…now switching to the nice side of work. hopefully!
