at the beach

Midsummer mini break at the beach.

We went for two days to our favorite beach in Domburg.

All the pastel colored beach huts in a row are stunning. They are all unique and some are painted by artists. (All photogenic haha...)
We decided to rent a beach hut for the days on the beach and got our pastel yellow hut next to the 'flamingo girls'. It was a perfect way to stay cool during the tropical midsummer days.

We brought our salades and drinks in a cool box and at sunset we had dinner with 'kibbeling' and cava in a plastic beach bucket filled with ice.

We stayed in a hotel in the center of Domburg (thanks Fred & Chris for this treat) and on Monday morning we went to our 'own' beach hut and we almost had the beach to ourselves.
This is one of the advantages of working on a Saturday; you have weekend on Sunday & Monday.

pink blooms

Pink blooms in the front yard on this Friday morning.
The hollyhocks outside between the paving and the bougainvillea inside the kitchen window.

Enjoy these beautiful and long june days!

kimono

About the kimono, I was wearing at the wedding of our friends last Saturday.

I received a lot of questions about my kimono. I often get questions about my outfits, but this time it was quiet 'extreme'.

I bought the kimono a month ago as a wedding outfit at Anna + Nina.

I'm not a fashion blogger and my motto is; be a voice, not an echo...

After the wedding we went to Eindhoven for lunch and a drink and visited the ever-inspiring PHE factory.

live your life to the max

The handmade signs are made of an unique 'recycled' piece of wood, stamped with a personal text.

You can order your own custom made ‘wood & word sign’ with whatever text.
Note: keep the text short, otherwise it will not fit.

Imagine (almost) anything is possible;
[a quote] [your name] [just a word] [congratulation] [a message for your lover] [something stupid] [something funny] [your life motto]

Send someone a message on wood and I will sent the 'postcard' to the address you want.

You can order a personal sign in my E T S Y shop.

magic

Yesterday was magic.

A mini photo report of the magical wedding of our friends Mick & Marleen.

Marleen really is my 'marrakech & flower soulmate'!

Everything was right; the couple, love, location, weather, atmosphere, music, flowers, cakes, champagne and all dear friends!

L'amour toujours!

rotterdam

Pentecost Monday in Rotterdam.

Drinks at A L O H A, located in former subtropical swimming paradise Tropicana, overlooking the river Maas and Rotterdam skyline.

A city walk (across the bustle of the Roparun finish!) and a lentil soup on the sunny terrace at B A Z A R.

Despite the strong winds and cloudy skies it was still a beautiful summer day.

Rotterdam is always a good idea!
