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.

Doortje Vintage

A fabulous website I discovered! With all kinds of vintage wannahave goodies! Check out doortje-vintage.com.

Flak - Diptych

This week I went to see dansensemble Flak from Canada. Their new show Diptych is so beautifull, with lovely music by Bach for the piano and cello. I was entranced by the sound and the movements of these incredible dansers. Definitely a recommendation!!

Mercedes 280 S

We've got a new car!!! And isn't she a beauty? I feel like a queen driving her, she's gorgeous!!
To quote Nemo: Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine!!

Lightbulb recycled

I came across the site of Theetante San and found this supercool idea for recycling old lightbulbs. I have to try this! It's probably a bit delicate, but for indoors really a great idea. Thank you San!

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!
