Only one week until 1. Advent! For us it’s the weekend we light the first candle of the Advent wreath and we decorate our homes in the traditional colours: sprigs of fir, box and holly, red candles and ribbons. Red faced little apples and nuts on silver plates, pine sprigs and amaryllis on the window sills.

Feel inspired by my pictures; if you are interested you find all these pretty things in Ursula von Hake’s studio and shop.

I especially fell in love with those laquered boxes and the fancy trays and side tables. Living in the forest with the one or the other stag lurking around the corner of the garden I also couldn’t say no to traditional stag candles (They hide in the left corner of the second picture. I’ll post better pictures later!)
