GERMANY, Franziska Jehle/psf. An IKEA shopping day. A relaxing stroll round the displays. Ended up with the bedrooms. And a wall print: If you want breakfast in bed, you can sleep in the kitchen. Well, it’s original. So IKEA has hit upon it at last – the trend. To be honest, “Where we find and give shelter, we are at home”, above your bed is somehow more uplifting. “Be what YOU are! In the best possible way!” A real incentive in the early morning for the larks – or the owls. “Don’t give up. GOD has possibilities even when people no longer see any.” All these have long been over countless beds, because FatherSayings are innovative and months ahead of the trend.
And you can get them again. Because the 21 July was a large FatherSayings production day in Allgäu, Germany. From 10 a.m. until 2 a.m the following morning Andrea Jehle, Teresa Kneidl, Miriam Stetter, Benedikt Hornung and the discoverer of the FatherSayings, Communications Designer Franziska Jehle, produced and packed their creations. And “We have 120 completed and packed FatherSayings. There was a lovely atmosphere and we had a lot of fun!”
Thus, the stock of FatherSayings should be sufficient for the next some weeks… and all those who want to buy one, can do so online via this website (so far in German only) or, why not, along with a visit to the beautiful place where the FatherSayings arre produced – at the Schoenstatt Center in Memhoelz, Bavaria. It is really worth while – interview with the producer included!
Now also in Spanish and English
Since it is in the nature of trendsetters to pay attention to the voices of the people, there will be FatherSayings in Spanish and English in time for the World Youth Day!
After translators from the schoenstatt.org team had translated the Father Sayings, Franziska Jehle did the graphics. It isn’t so easy, because you have to design the sayings in a way that brings across the message of each FatherSaying. The position of the words and the emphasis are also quite different in Spanish and English.
The result of this work is at present being tested by people for whom English or Spanish is their mother tongue, then the next big production day can be planned. For the World Youth Day the first FatherSayings should be on sale.
You know them…
FatherSayings are well known – inside and outside Schoenstatt. Just to remind you:
FatherSayings are words of wisdom, messages, observations of life by Fr Joseph Kentenich, founder of the International Schoenstatt Movement. The FatherSayings are printed on an adhesive sheet that will also stick to woodchip wallpaper. It is easy to remove or reposition this sheet. The way the words are arranged creates a picture that has an effect on your wall without nails or frames. FatherSayings are available in four sizes, and are printed in black and in white.
FatherSayings are an ideal and trendy gift – for a new flat or house, for a birthday, or to yourself. And FatherSayings are a snazzy and smart project of a covenant culture – because Kentenich himself is to be found on the walls of the world…
Where will you stick your FatherSayings?
