Hello! :) How has your weekend been? I recently haven't been able to check alll of your pretty blogs or to comment on your posts, because I've been busy with the start of the new semester and with meeting some of my friends. :)
On Easter my friend
Jenny came to visit me and we were having an awesome girl's weekend. :) Last weekend I visited my friend
Hanna in Darmstadt and met
Vivi of Matz ab, we had a great afternoon with lots of chatting (photos coming soon :)). So here are all the photos of my amazing Easter weekend with Jenny.
Before Jenny came to visit me, Flo and I went out for a walk in the woods and had to say good bye for the weekend, because he left me for a men's weekend with his best friends. :)
I prepared the apartment, bought fresh flowers and herbs for cooking.
Mogli has still been lovesick, he's the cutest dog on earth. :)
My friendly neighbour gave us some eggs she got from her grandma's chicken, they were sooo delicious.
Lots of fabric scraps I collected during the last years, they are so colorful.
Jenny and I made a bike tour through pretty Potsdam and visited Peacock Island. It's an island beetween Potsdam and Berlin with lots of beautiful peacocks. :)
We've also been at the former border between eastern and western Germany, a place of history.
We took tons of photos and wore colorful outfits. Jenny wore my handmade turquoise hat, it perfectly matched her outfit.
On Saturday, we met
Anja for a long shopping tour in Berlin. <3 We've been to Frau Tulpe, one of my favourite fabric stores in Berlin, and we had a shopping break at Cupcake Berlin and ate the most delicious cupcakes. <3
The three of us went to, Humana, a huuuuge second hand shopping store, where we saw the most amazing bridal dresses. We tried them on for fun, it was hilarious!!! :) I especially love the photo of us girls in front of the mirror, wearing those amazing, old, vintage dresses. <333
Thrifting was lots of fun!
In Berlin there's a new pub, they reconstructed Mac Laren's Pub which most people know from the How I Met Your Mother series. :)
In the afternoon, we took lots of fun photos at an industrial area in Friedrichshain.
In the evening, we had lunch at Knofi, a restaurant in Berlin Kreuzberg with delicious mediterranean food. Sooooo good! <3
As you can see, my dress collection is constantly growing. :) When we were in Berlin, I found another vintage dress, I will only have to shorten it a bit.
On Easter Sunday, Jenny and I had a delicious breakfast (we always eat lots of healthy and tasty food... :)) and gave each other little Easter presents. I made her, Flo, and Anja little
fabric Easter bunnies and Jenny gave me chocolate, knitting needles, masking tape and nail polish. <3
My beautiful kitchen decor! :)
Jenny and I made lots of soap bubbles on my balcony and on Sunday, we ate frozen yoghurt at Yoli in Berlin.
We went to the Wall Park flea market where I found a pretty enamel bucket in pretty good condition and we enjoyed the beautiful weather. :)
Ohh, those vintage plates were so pretty!
In the afternoon, we went to an exhibition about DIY, there were some interesting projects and exhibits and we saw a pretty collier made by Fee of
Fee ist mein Name. :)
Berlin's Television Tower, the city's most famous symbol.
Finally, a photo of Jenny and me while we were on the flea market and a snapshot of her, taking photos of Mogli. :) I love her hairstyle in the photo. :)
Hmmm, that was delicious, on the last day of our great weekend we had this for dinner, grilled cheese, fried eggs, corn, avocado and tomatoes. <3
I hope you liked those photos, I'm currently totally obsessed with Instagram. <3

Hello! :) It already feels like summer and as those who have been following my blog from the beginning already know, I make some jam each season. :)
You only need lots of fruits (I chose ananas, banana, mango and fresh lemon balm) and preserving sugar. 
Chop up all the fruits and purée them. Mix them with the preserving sugar according to the instructions on the sugar. I used one where you need to add sugar to the fruits at a ratio of 1 to 1 (one part fruits, one part sugar). Next, heat everything in a pot, let it cook for a few minutes, sterilizie your jars with boiling water and pour the jam into them. Close the top and add some pretty fabric scraps for decor. :)
