About

Hello!

I'm Clare and 'Pampelmuse and Me' is my little piece of the internet world where I talk about the things I love like photography, everything homemade , Etsy and my fleamarket finds.

I'm a bit of a gyspy with a love of travel.  In 2008 I left Australia to study in America and along the way I fell in love with an Austrian and moved to Berlin, via Botswana.  After 2 years of living out of a suitcase I'm a little more settled but still like to wander around europe sampling the local delights and taking photographs along the way. 

I don't speak German, but I'm learning, only it's taking a little longer than I 'd hoped.  I'm particularly partial to shoes, coffee, 2nd hand bookstores and the sound snow makes when you walk on it for the first time.  I'm passionate but terribly illogical.  I hate rude people and telephones.

Oh - and in case your were wondering - Pampelmuse means Grapefruit.  There's nothing symbolic about the name except that it's German but sounds cute when you say it in English.  You can also say it in French (pampelmousse). Tricky, huh?
