Smaak.nl

This weekend I received my delicious Smaak-box full of organic or in some way sustainable products. Love it! It was like a second Christmas-gift-bag! I got mine through a voucher from Strawberry Earth, so I could buy it with a huge discount. Check out Smaak.nl, the boxes are still available!

Make Everything OK

Yesterday I spent 5 hours getting home from Brussels to Delft, while being sick, today I am still sick and, on top of all, my car got stolen. Our beautiful, gorgeous, dearly treasured en much loved Lola was taken from us yesterday and I am still shocked and in disbelief that after only 3 months of getting to ride her, we no longer can look outside our window and see her shine. It's devastating. Even this magic button does not help at the moment.

We've got a new car!!! And isn't she a beauty? I feel like a queen driving her, she's gorgeous!!

Peter Pauper

I just bought this exquisite little journal at the bookstore, because I needed (well, wanted, but 'wanting' equals 'needing') a notebook for my new job I'm starting this thursday. It's printed by Peter Pauper Press and I am so thrilled that they sell it in Dutch bookstores too, because I absolutely love the nice prints! The one above was already one of my favourites (the colour is a bit different in real life though, more greenish than purple), it's called Twilight Garden. I also love the Foldover Journals with the magnetic flap. I'd love to have the Butterflies or Floral Birds theme!

I bought a similar notebook a couple years back. This one, to be precise, printed by Paper Blanks. They also have really nice stuff, but less cute and more keltish and leather, like really old books. (I do love old books!)

Vogelbon

On saturday my niece got married. A beautiful wedding! Because they also just bought a new house in Amsterdam, I got them a gift I found one time in a magazine. I loved it! It's called De Vogelbon and what it is, is a gift-certificate for a hand-painted real-sized bird anywhere in your house. The birds you can see on the website are adorable, Petra is a truly gifted artist. I so hope someone will give me the same present when we buy our first house!

Ameland

This weekend we went to a beachvolleybal-tournament on Ameland, one of the Wadden-islands. I'd never been there before and it was absolutely beautifull. Our camping-spot had an excellent view over the heather-fields. We've even seen some seals on our boat-ride back to the mainland! Very very nice. I'll be back next year, definitely!
