The last few days have been really nice. I was home over the weekend because both my siblings & my sister's husband were visiting, and even though I should've been studying, it felt good to wind down a little.
I'm really excited because I'm going to be an aunt soon!!! :D (Even though I don't like the ring of that word. Aunts are middle-aged, chubby and red-faced little ladies who pinch your cheeks and hand out candies. And that's not really me. I don't share my candy.) The lil' chub is due in spring. Aww, spring baby. ♥On Sunday they left so I returned to Aachen as well - and went to the Handmade Circus with a friend. It was great, I didn't have a lot of money to spend and neither did she so we mostly just strolled through the aisles and looked at all the pretty stuff~
There were some artists that stood out to me, and if you're looking for something cute to buy for someone else or yourself, you should really check out their stuff!
Sick of Winter was by far my favourite that day. Their mission - to spread sunshine and love in a grey, cold, and rainy world. After all, we're sick of winter. I had a chat with their founder (a really rad guy who also studied here in Aachen - which, by the way, is infamous for its London-esque weather conditions), and the whole concept just spoke to me on a deep spiritual level. I swear. I mean, they drove there in an old VW Bus. How cool is that?! The first thing I'm going to spend money on when I'm not broke anymore is going to be one of their shirts, for sure.
Closely followed by Süße Dinge! Their name already says everything because it's seriously the sweetest stationery I've ever seen. And I'm a sucker for stationery and office supplies and writing tools, so I really had to hold myself back there.
Another favourite was birdtoldme. I loooove this idea of offering pre-designed origami sheets, they're just too cute! Definitely check them out!
Here are some more impressions and shops you should have a look at: nicenicenice, Ménage à deux, Knallbraun, Zenzi Design, Karamelo, madeinosnabrueck and nadjA.
In the end, I left with two super cute buttons and my friend with the sweetest strawberry necklace ever - cut out from what was an actual crate of strawberries. Afterwards we had lunch at the cutest café ever, all in all it was a lovely day. Definitely something I'll do more often if I get the chance. :)
Which one of these do you like best? Please do leave a comment, I'd love to hear about what you guys think. ♥
Lots of love,
Besa
