| handmade wedding: boutonnieres

My boutonnieres from here posing for professionals. I like the idea of displaying them on the green moss. And of course I like the bride and the groom, so stylish! Best of luck S&V!

Moje pierka fotené profesionálmi. Páči sa mi nápad so zeleným machom a samozrejme aj nevesta so ženíchom! Veľa šťastia S&V!

| before & after: flea market find

I enjoy thrifting (proof here and here). Surely there are days when I return home with empty hands and swear that I will never ever return, but then there are those days which make up for all of those unsuccessful ones. Speaking of which, this little side table definitely made my day! We've bargained down the price to 15 euro (!), although looking at the details it definitely needed more investment. Oddly enough, this made me even more excited! There was sandpapering, staining and varnishing and here are some before and after shots.

Mám rada nakupovanie na blšákoch (dôkaz tu a tu). Samozrejme sú dni, keď sa domov vrátim s prázdnymi rukami a zaprisahám sa, že sa tam už viac nevrátim, ale potom sú dni, pre ktoré sa to prehrabávanie haraburdami oplatí. A presne taký bol deň, keď sme na trhu objavili tento stolík a zjednali ho za 15 eur(!). Od začiatku nám však bolo jasné, že na úpravu a dokončenie budeme musieť ešte trochu zainvestovať. Použili sme šmirgel, moridlo a lak a takto stolík vyzeral pred a po úprave.

it's about time to write few words about veronika and peter on this blog. not only because they are my friends but mostly because they are a couple of spectacular wedding photographers. you can check out their creative work on their website or visit their fb fan page where they regularly update the most stunning pictures. i've had the pleasure to work on several projects with this likable couple. one of these was a fairy tale styled photo shoot for which i've prepared few props and have helped with styling the scenes.

už je načase aby som na tomto blogu napísala pár slov o veronike a peťovi. nielen kvôli tomu, že sú moji priatelia, ale aj kvôli tomu, že sú to užasní svadobní fotografi. ich prácu si môžete pozriet na ich webe alebo tiež na ich fb fan stránke kde pravidelne publikujú nádherné fotky. mala som to potešenie spolupracovať na niekoľkých spoločných projektoch s týmto príjemným párikom. jedným z nich bolo svadobné fotenie v štýle rozprávky, pre ktoré som pripravila zopár rekvizít a pomáhala s prípripravou scén.

| over the weekend

this weekend i took off to vienna to explore the bi-annual flea market on neubaugasse street. it was most certainly the biggest flea market i have ever seen. a huge variety of vendors with food, clothes, antiques and second hand goods. surprisingly i only got one thing which i can't even consider a thrift bargain - a funky t-shirt with cartoon zombies. Oh, and meet Baba from Senegal with a friendly smile.
