Cévennes

The weather is great, the house was still standing, birds are busy, trees are full of blossom.... only the internet-connection didn't work, I am sitting in an internet-café in a small town. Can't get the wonderful pictures I took on this blog, I'll post them later!

It feels good to be here.

Leaving for France


We are leaving for a short stay in our house in the south of France. Hope to keep you posted overthere, but I am not sure if the internet connection will work in the middle of nowhere... bye!

London souvenirs


Waiting to be used: Big Ben stamp (Muji-store) and ordinary ball of coloured rubber bands (at just another office stationer's) from London. The white 'stone' (porcelain) I bought on a crafts market in Amsterdam, it has the word 'geluk' (dutch for happiness) printed/pressed in it.

Huge and vintage


This vase I bought some weeks ago through Marktplaats, our dutch online fleamarket. When I opened the box I got a surprise: the ad on Marktplaats said it was about 45 cm high, it appeared to be 70 cm! I love the colours, love the structure and of course: I love the height!

Newborn





Allright, although it feels strange - posting your own stuff on your own blog - these are my newborn lanterns. And yes: I am proud of them! Not only on the designs but also on the fact that I managed to produce them completely ecofriendly! Check my website for more information and for salespoints near you!
