save the date: victoria met albert

if you're like me and don't know how to possibly get all those gifts together in time (as annoyingly there's also some work to do), you might want to note victoria met albert's special sunday opening times: on sunday 5 dec and sunday 19 dec, the shop will be open from 13-19 h, and since it's most certainly winter here (you should see the snow!), tea and coffee will be served.

save the date: special opening times at victoria met albert, dunckerstr. 81, 10437 berlin (prenzlauer berg / on helmholtzplatz), sun 5 dec & sun 19 dec, 13-19 h.

apartamento launches new book series

have you heard? apartamento magazine is about to launch a new book series, called 'everyday life books'. tomorrow afternoon (16 oct 2010), the first book from the series, 'the story of a mug: greetings from the factory' will be launched at do you read me?! in berlin. the weather has turned decidedly autumnal here - rainy, cold, with wet leaves lining the pavements - so what better thing to do than sit down with a good book and officially start candle season?

find it here: apartamento book launch @ do you read me?!, auguststr. 28, berlin mitte, saturday, 16 oct 2010, 5 pm-8 pm.

mario velardi (apartamento) and byggstudio will be there. mugs of tea and coffee will be served.

(by the way: should you have good book tips up your sleeves, let me know, i'm looking for more good reads - haven't read a good novel in ages!)
