Only a few hours remain – and the year 2025 will soon be history. It’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on twelve eventful months. We’ve all had different experiences this year, but for me, it was shaped by creative challenges, touching moments, and invaluable support.
A Year Full of Art, Cans and Heart
2025 was another busy year in my little studio – filled with special projects, new motifs, and hand-painted one-of-a-kind pieces. Whether painted milk cans, watering cans with nostalgic floral patterns, or decorated mailboxes – each piece tells its own story and is created with great attention to detail.
Some commissions were particularly challenging, others simply heartwarming – and that’s exactly what I love about my work: every creation is a unique piece that brings joy to someone’s home or garden. Thank you to all my customers who shared their wishes and ideas with me – and often send me lovely photos of how my painted cans have found their perfect spot.
If you’d like to take a look at past projects, feel free to browse the gallery on my website. In fact, the gallery will be completely redesigned in the coming weeks – so it’s definitely worth checking back soon!
Update: The new gallery has launched! 🙂
Thank You for Being Part of This Journey
I’d also like to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you: for your loyalty, your likes, your kind messages and comments. Without you, this page wouldn’t be what it is – vibrant, inspiring, and full of creative energy.
I promise that the coming year will once again bring many new pieces, fresh ideas, and colorful creations on metal that will delight the eye and soul.
Behind the Scenes: My Amazing Support Team
A very special thank you goes to my son and my husband, who supported me tirelessly again in 2025 – both behind the camera and with the technical preparation and finishing of the cans. Thanks to their help, I’m able to deliver high-quality painted milk cans and also design a unique calendar every year.
Another big thank you goes out to Peggy and her husband, who went out of their way to fulfill a heartfelt wish of mine. They spent their free day picking up nine rare cans – a real treasure! I’ll never forget the time and effort they put into this. You two are priceless – thank you!
