    …a little 7th to 9th century doll tunic…

    2019/12/28

    Have you ever wondered what kids played with centuries ago? Pictures of toys from the very last centuries are available in quite an abundance but they get more and more rare the further you go back in time. Therefore you might very well imagine my great joy when I found this lovely little doll tunic from the 7th to 9th century on display at the Bode Museum.

    Interesting Links – a great extant 12th century dress inspiration :D

    2017/04/26

    I am tremendously excited! I was just browsing the internet and looking at pictures of 12th century artwork as I run into a lovely detail photo of a 12th century female statue. And as I followed the picture to its source, I discovered a complete photo album… 😀 Well, after looking at 12th century artwork for about 10 years now, it doesn’t happen very often that I run into really good detail photos of extant 12th century artwork which I haven’t seen yet. But I still look out for them as the excitement of finding new detail photos or a special unique piece still gives me a good thrill… *giggle*

    Mission Medieval Barcelona accomplished… – my favorite photos from day #4 :D

    2014/07/22

    And last but not least – after all the photos from day #1, day #2 and day #3 – you will following find my favorite photos of day #4 of my recent trip to Barcelona. Also on my fourth and last day in Barcelona I did a lot of sightseeing. I was very busy and added even more photos to the memory card of my camera. Retrospective I can say that 4 days are nowhere near enough to see all the great things this awesome city has to offer. And to try all this delicious tapas! Barcelona is definitely worth a visit and here are some new photos for you – enjoy! 😀

    …on a medieval photo safari in Vienna…

    2014/07/18

    At the moment I am on a medieval photo safari in the museums of Vienna… 😀 …I was so excited about the quality of the photos which my new Sony Alpha dslr takes that I decided to “re-take” some photos of my favorite pieces on display at the local museums. Yesterday I already spent about 3.5hours at the treasury and after a first look through my new photos I have to say: all this awesome details! I want more! I am definitely going back today to take more photos! *lol*

    Mission Medieval Barcelona accomplished… – my favorite photos from day #2 :D

    2014/07/17

    *gosch* I really can’t believe it. I already took about 1300 photos during my very first day in Barcelona and thought that this is a really large number. Well, this was until I started to go through the photos of day #2…. …it seems that I took even more photos during my second day in Barcelona. More than 2000 photos – *gosch* – how did I manage this? *lol*

    Mission Medieval Barcelona accomplished… – my favorite photos from day #1 :D

    2014/07/15

    I am happy to say that I successfully accomplished my “Mission Medieval Barcelona”. 😀 I had 4 wonderful days in Barcelona – I visited many museums, tasted several Tapas, Sangria,… and I took many many photos… Though I stayed out of the sun as much as possible, I brought with me a slight sunburn at my shoulders and neck. And what shall I say about my poor feet – even after some rest they still hurt like hell… *lol*

    Mission Medieval Barcelona

    2014/07/10

    I am such a happy girl and I still can’t believe it. For the next days I will be away from the computer because I am going to Barcelona! Viva Espana! *happydance* 😀 …and my motto is again: “Mission Medieval Barcelona”! But I promise that I will also take a look at the “modern” stuff and that I will take many-many-manyyyy photos. 😉

    Short note – Mission Medieval Florenz

    2014/05/21

Like always I will look for everything medieval and will take as many pics as I can. On monday I will be back again and will be able to tell you more about my trip. I wish you some lovely days and a wonderful weekend Best regards and “Bussi” from Vienna Racaire 😀

  • Have purchased two items so far from Racaire. Both items are high quality, superb communication from Racaire with design, what was needed fabric wise and pricing. Everything was straight up and done to my exact specifications. She does beautiful work, extremely well made and is truly an artist above the rest. Purchase with confidence and rest assured that what you get will definitely bring the oohs and ahhhs.

    Fantastic communication and phenomenal craftspersonship. The beautiful octopus stamp work and high quality sewing for my pirate bandana was perfect. I recommend Racaire's Workshop, and I am already planning future purchases! May you have fair winds and following seas!

    I purchased a printed scarf, and Racaire was able to help me with international shipping (via messenger). The item arrived quickly, exactly as promised, and beautifully wrapped. And as a bonus, Racaire is a lovely person. I recommend Racaire and hope to make future purchases soon!

  • positive review  I'm blown away by the block printing on the scarf I received. The colors are vibrant, the fabric is soft, and the pattern matching is perfection. Racaire was quick to respond, and updated me along the way. My scarf was packaged beautifully, and I felt like I was opening a present. 100% will order again. ❤

    positive review  Racaire's work is thoughtful, beautiful, historic and absolutely well made! There is care and pride in everything that comes out of her workshop, a craftmanship that you just don't get from mainstream markets! I have several items done by her hand and I am continually asked about them and who made them. Racaire's quality and artistic beauty shines through everytime.

As some of you know I love re- & upcycling. Today I decided to give some of my propagated pothos plants a new home in hanging pots made from coffee creamer bottles. They are relatively easy to cut and, as you can see in the pictures, the outside shows their watering status very well which makes it easy to care for the plants.I love the little plant wall I started in the sleeping room, it has quite a calming vibe. Furthermore pothos is known to help with air quality, easy to keep alive and is a great plant for a sleeping room.I hope I could inspire some of you to recycle your common plastic containers and maybe add some more green to your home....and now back to working on my seahorse sketch...Love,Racaire💚💚💚🌹💚💚💚#racaire #recycle #upcyled #upcycled #upcycle #pothos #plants #plantsmakepeoplehappy® #plantsmakemehappy #plantsforthebedroom #bedroom #indoorplant #wallplants ...
