Back in town and back at work… Not really in the mood of writing a lot…. Just enjoying these last beautiful days at the end of the summer, being outside a lot, eating beautiful cupcakes, delicious pizzas and enjoying the sun and the company of family and friends. I am loving the words on this […]
La petite ecole abondonne Au revoir Paris.. and that treasure you have always dreamed to find once….. Au revoir Paris…. After a few days in Paris by myself I left the city from Gare de l’Est and took a train into the countryside to join my family for a little vacation in the Champagne-Ardennes region. […]
Some more pictures from Saint Ouen.. these I made at Marché Vernaison, a real bric a brac place … Marché Vernaison, is the oldest market and is seen as the historical birthplace of the Paris Saint-Ouen Flea Market It was here, in 1920, that the first organized market was born. At the time, Romain Vernaison, […]
Still in Paris ….. my little black Moleskine of Paris in my hand (apparently we Dutch love those black note books and agenda’s)…. it has a map of the city in it and lots of space to write notes. I had written some places I wanted to visit at the St Ouen market in it […]
Hello again … It has been a while since my last post … but those who follow me ‘here’ know I was in France! I spent some days in Paris and had a great time wandering around the city. A city that looks empty this time of the year. Lots of shops are closed for […]
I am not really a fan of copper… I just never liked the color. When really shiny it is like gold (not my favorite kinda color) And when it’s old and not looked after it is pretty dull and boring. But when the weather does it’s thing with it, it transform in to something really […]
Last week I came across the beautiful Toronto based web shop ‘Tulip and I’ a small label that was first envisioned after the birth of a little baby girl nicknamed tulip. It’s the story of a wish to create simple, timeless and beautiful pieces, slowly handcrafted and carefully made with wonderfully tactic and natural fabrics […]
Some time ago I found this old license plate on my local flee market Noordermarkt. The deep dark blue color just did it for me… decorating with old items like this is what I love most, especially because they are all unique! The rusty storm lamp comes from my sisters garden. (My sister loved her […]
A little corner on one of my tables I have always loved to look around in those shops where they sell paint and paper. Beside painting walls and some furniture I’m not really a painter (although I followed a few years of painting for advertisement). Especially the brushes I think are very beautiful… if they […]
Right… we’re done with the Orange Mania here in the Netherlands and getting back to normal…. Lets talk about summer, beautiful Islands, blue seas and holiday homes in white and grey! The last issue of Dutch Elle living magazine showed the summer house of Italian designer and architect Paola Navone on the Greek Island Serifos. […]
I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate affair with IKEA. Sometimes I really don’t like the whole concept. Seeing it in magazines, DIY shows and in every house I so have enough of it sometimes…. but then it is so clever and cheap and it’s hard to go in and come out […]
I saw a picture in ‘her’ last post from the book ‘Le XVIIIième Siècle retrouvé´ a great book I got myself as well some years ago. It shows a big sheep in a living room. I have some sheep standing on a cupboard for decoration …. not as big as the one shown in the […]
