Barely

Hi everyone!!!:)I am barely alive and managing to deal with the things in my life recently. So many things all together. And especially this new shop venture. But on the other hand it brings a lot of joy as well.



Here are some of the pics within the shop we made recently.....

The opening

We will open the shop's door today. YAY!!! It will not going to be anything official and big yet, but we are hope to be able to make soon something like that as well;)



This the old chair we bought, made the patchwork fabric and fabric covered buttons and remodelled it. I adore the look. It was inspired with the fantastic squint furniture.



Bambi notebook coming with the pencil is made with 100% recycled and biodegradable paper, it is available for purchase in the store and soon in my etsy Iwannabe shop too, for international shoppers.

And here are some more pics of the shop, including Mim-pi collection.




The address is:
Brace Jugovica 2a
Belgrade
shop is open 10-20 h during the week, Saturday 10-16h

Hope to see you there:)
Again, here is the same post in Serbian, at WannaBe and Toy blog

The shop

As mentioned and shown a few times before, the WannaBe&Toy shop is slowly coming to life. It's been a total madness for a last few weeks here, trying to manage things between decorating and filling the shop with stuff.(not to mention my family and work activities;)
But, the opening of the shop is so close now and it will start working sometimes during the next week, but I will let you know;)



I have opened the blog that will be dedicated only to the shop and will be written in Serbian, but I will post the most important things here as well.



So, here are some pics I took since the beginning.....so you can have some before and after ideas of it.

Hope you like it:)
Have a wonderful and sunny weekend,

Birthday on ice

Marta turned 10 (it is still so hard to believe that she is ALREADY TEN) on Tuesday. Between many places, she chose to celebrate it on ice, at Kalemegdanska terasa-tvrdjava ice rink, opened in January this year at Kalemgdan.

For me, it was a bit hard to manage between kids on ice and our friends inside the cafe, but kids had a great time. Some of them, had theirs first experience with ice skating(including me, sorry no pics) and it was so much fun!









Inside the "tower" it was pretty cozy, even that the space is rather small for this kind of event, having 30+ kids and 20+ adults.







We even decided to try to make our version of the famous rainbow cake, filling it with different cream and being rather selfish with adding the colorants to the pastry. But it was yummy and kids loved it!!!



Anyway, I can only say all the best about this place and looking forward to go with kids again (they are planning to stay open till 1 April).

Icicles

I LOVE snow. I don't like winter generally, but snow is just the part of the winter I cherish most. But, snow in the big city is not much fun, except if going to Kalemegdan or in similar green places.

And after snow, yet, there are some beautiful dangerous and magical snow creations, mainly icicles that can be found and admired, even in the city....

Hope you had a wonderful weekend,
Katarina

Capri baby

Capri is the name of my first "ready made" collection. I am working really hard on getting it all ready for the next month. I named it Capri, after the gorgeous Italian island, well known for its enchanting beauty.



I was asked to made some shoots for the local magazine interview so here are some....







Happy weekend everyone,
Katarina

The Year of the rabbit

"According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on January 22, 2012. The Rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animals signs. The Rabbit is a lucky sign. Rabbits are private individuals and a bit introverted. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space. They are articulate, talented and ambitious, virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky."

Even that the way this Year have started for me, I can not say that this should be "my year too" (being born in the Year of the rabbit), but on the other side, I would love to believe that it might be;)

So, to celebrate it, I made a rabbit patterned fabric, based on one of my previous designs.



So, here you can see it and even eventually vote for my entry in the Spoonflower's Year of the Rabbit contest. (no registration needed...THANKS in advance:)
It is even available for sale directly@Spoonflower.
Can't wait for my piece to arrive;)

Happy Year of the Rabbit,
Katarina
