Sandra Ritter, Owner of Hügelwerkstatt
We continue our series of "Who are the ladies behind The Creative Café?" with an introduction to Sandra Ritter, a new member of our core team of sales staff, but not new to our shop! Some of you may know her through her witty and inspiring text blocks and magnets, or perhaps you've purchased one of her adorable notepad holders or clipboards. Sandra will be replacing Rachel (Seize the Stamp) in order that Rachel can fully focus on her two small children. Although Rachel will no longer be working in the shop regularly, she will continue to sell her amazing stamping and paper products, as well as help us out every now and then! So, we will not say "good-bye" to her just yet.
Here is a short introduction to Sandra!
What inspires you most?
I have ideas throughout the day and night, and therefore always have paper and pen on my nightstand. I love to make everyday items pretty and give a new life to old things...In a Brocki, I become a treasure hunter and when I see a pretty package, it's love at first sight! I'm inspired by so many things - meeting with friends, travel, my little boy and the world around us!

Where are you from and how did you end up at The Creative Café?
10 years ago I moved for love from Berlin to Zurich. I settled very well in Zurich and made good friends who supported me in my creative work. At the beginning, I sold my little sayings out of an old suitcase at some of the local "Koffermarkts". However, as many weekends are booked with my little one, I looked for small specialty shops which could sell my handmade products. I met Julie at a Koffermarkt just after she opened the Creative Café and, after seeing the place and meeting all the lovely ladies there, I knew that was the the place I wanted to be. I am happy to welcome you every Thursday at The Creative Café, as well as at selected workshops!

I love the creative atmosphere at The Creative Café. From enjoying a coffee with friends to helping an "uncreative" person realise they can make something beautiful in a fun, informal setting is awesome. There's always some new little jewel to find in the shop and what could be better than working with dear friends?
