At Dille & Kamille you will find the nicest things for your kitchen and more! We have been buying beautiful table cloths, all kinds of great kitchen items  and they also have super fun toys and books for little mini monsters.

Now that our ancient mould got lost, let's see if they still sell the wooden lamb mould there. And yes, they still do, we are happy! We like to share here how you can make such a cute butter lamb for Easter and Pentecost yourself. You do need the mould and know how to use it ;))
