Wundertisch – Old Airport – Nov 13th

wundertisch_nov

After a month getting used to the Ethiopian way of life again, I feel like a corona-proofed Wundertisch! A little private garden-bazar with a well-styled table full of treasures which enriches your home and yourself.

The first Ethiopian Wundertisch is at November 13th from 11 am-1 pm in Old Airport. 

I got so much inspiration of living in this interesting part of the world, so the coming weeks I’m continuing to hunt for the Ethiopian and Kenyan treasures and I would like to share them with you on my Wundertisch event – ‘Wunder-ful Table’ in German.

For this Wundertisch event I transform a blank canvas into a gorgeous tablescape; a well-styled table as a gesture of welcoming and hospitality. Everything on & around the table is for sale … except for me ; )

Most products are African and locally made and/or co-created with me, to stimulate local businesses in these hard Covid-times.

If you are interested to join, please call or message me at +251 93 533 1239 so I can share the location with you. 

Please note, it is on personal invite and RSVP only due to the Covid situation.

If you want to bring a friend, please share their contact details with me and/or let them RSVP via WhatsApp, so we know how many people are coming due to the Corona situation. 

For the ones who don’t know Wundertisch, below a little background and explanation.

To give you a little insight:

We’ve moved to Old Airport in Addis Ababa two months (dec 2019) ago and days flew by. We are surrounded by beautiful people from all over the world who share their experiences to make our start in Addis Ababa relatively ‘easy’.

Bucket List – Experience it!

My bucket list .. it is a never-ending work in progress, continuously updated and being altered. But having a bucket list, is to have a life and utilize it fully before it’s knocked off from under your feet!

This bucket list will hopefully grow with lots of ‘stil-to-be-discovered-on-this-world’-sights, and please feel free to add yours! I also hope some will disappear from this list and will be added to an blog article where I can tell you how I’ve experienced it.
