[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] “Children, how time flies!”, is a phrase I have already used here. And what can I say? I was right! The summer is long gone, the days are growing short again and the polished summer cars are being driven back into their garages. I have to admit, in the last few weeks I’ve barely laid my fingers on the keyboard. However, that should be about to change. Even my...
Break-time at the edelschmiede, we’re putting our feet up
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="588" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]The „15% discount offer“ is finished, as are we! Many thanks for all the extra orders - two thumbs up 🙂 For this reason, admittedly on very short notice, we will be closing the edelschmiede between the 5th and 18th of August! This will be the first “break” in the two years since we first opened...
15 at one blow! Huge discount offer in the edelschmiede
At some point enough is enough: the green ‘edelschmiede Ascona B’ has finally received the approval needed and is now free to make the streets unsafe with authorisation! This is in itself a reason to celebrate, especially as it took literally 15 years, all in all! Although, it isn’t as though work was done on this green comet every day, or even every month, throughout this time period. No,...

Gummy bears for Opel rear-wheel drivers!
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] "Gummy bears instead of tea" is our motto at the edelschmiede! – Incited by an entry on the OHF, we are heralding the beginning of the “winter-time-is-over-period” immediately and instead of delivering the popular ‚edelschmiede’s edelkirsche‘ tea, we will once again be delivering wine gums with every order! Today, Mrs edelschmiede arrived at the firm with a...
The edelschmiede goes to Wedel, or: The maiden voyage of the 4 litre Ascona
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 1st of May is reserved as “Father’s Day” in the Nastke house, as on this particular Public Holiday I make the trip to Stade for the Vintage Opel fair at Opel Cordes. This year, the <a href="http://www.opeltreffen-wedel.de" target="_blank">fair</a> took place in Wedel by Hamburg for the first time. This wasn’t too bad either, as distance-wise...
