// HAPPY HOLIDAYS //

✮ We wish you a slow & peaceful holiday ✮

We took the "Merry Christmas" pic

 when we visited 

Maya Universe Academy in

 April 2014 ;)

They have now started to build

 a new toilet 

for the money we collected

 from our sales in 2013, 

and we are in the planning stage for

 the money 

we collected this year.

We are looking forward to 

tell you more about it 

&

 show you some results next year! 

We will be out of the office during
 Dec 23rd to January 5th
 to hang out with our family & friends
and
 to collect inspiration and
 energy for 2015.

// The A/BARENESS web shop is open //

 Feel free to check it out,
but all e-mails & handling of
web orders
will not happen
 until 5th of January.
