Flea market, a party and one necklace was born

Trips to flea market have become a habit on Saturdays (actually not every Saturday, but very often). Sometimes I find something that I like, sometimes I don´t, but I always return home with a smile on my face.
I wonder why I do it, what changed in me, because before I wasn´t interested at all in the old stuff. I know that is a trend now, but I've never been someone who bites into trends; I'm not nostalgic by nature ... etc etc
And then I followed a bit myself reacting to things that are unconsciously "catchy" and discovered that these are things that remind me of my childhood, not people or situations! Did I say that I am not nostalgic.... No, at least not "knowingly" Haha ... In any case a good psychologist would have plenty of work :)
Now some things that I have found and a couple of photos from the last "second hand orgy"

This photo brought me to a FlickR group, Django's Grand Vinothek and now I am a proud member.

….which brings me back to my childhood, and memories began to well up... My dad's family had vineyards and dealt with, among other things, the production of wine. I liked that time when the grapes were picked, then everyone was smiling and happy – they were singing and a bit drunk - and us kids had a perfect opportunity to do what we want :) ah ...

Anyway, there was a party on Saturday, it was wonderful. Great people and really good food, a little sneak peek is following…

And I also managed to do some work, it was total chaos, but at least I was able to produce one necklace! I hope you like it!

Have a wonderful evening!

 

Have yourself a pre-Merry little Chocolate Cake

Since I´m not really a chef, not now nor will I ever be, I´ve decided to only make the easiest foods and desserts ever possible. Haven´t baked anything since I-don´t-know-when, and no, not this time either. My daughter, who is just like me, caught some kind of baking disease and made a chocolate cake today. I was very helpful though - I carried it and placed it on the table, and also ate it. :) 

This is me and the cake

And this is just the cake

Now, here´s a piece of the cake 

And this is how it went on after that
 
As you can see eating this cake takes you through a lot of emotions!

Now, here´s how you make the cake;

2,5 dl sugar
2 dl flour (since I´m gluten intolerant I use corn flour, but you can use any kind really)
5 tbs cocoa powder
2 eggs 
1 tsp vanilla sugar 
100 gr butter (melted butter)

Mix and whip the eggs with the sugar in a bowl. Throw everything else (except the butter) in another bowl and mix that too. Then mix it all together in the biggest bowl (now include the butter here). Pour it into a quite small baking tray, preferably one with rather high edges (you know the ones´ used for making cake layers), and leave it in the oven (175 degrees Celsius) for about 20-25 minutes. 

Finally, take a large spoon and dig in - the cake should be a little bit sticky and delicious - enjoy!

And this is what it looks like when my daughter is "drinking coffee" 

Have a nice nice nice and happy weekend all of you!
