open doors

Daily routine.

Unpacking the dishwasher.
Open the kitchen cupboard doors and put everything back in place.
Nothing special, a daily recurring activity.
Yet I can see the 'fun' of this daily routine.
All the personal things, the mix of colors, the collections...

and when everything is back in place, close the doors again, because I'm allergic to open doors.

plants & plates

The spider plant - chlorophytum comosum - has never really been away, because it's so easy to maintain and multiply.

One of the most interesting points of the spider plant is its ability to rapidly propagate itself. A spider baby from the mother plant will often root and within a year it's producing babies of its own, you can give out to your family and friends.

I've send a couple of spider babies to my niece in London and I hope they will survice the journey.

The small green harlequin pot I brought from Anthropogie in Londen and the leafs plate I found at Portazul in The Hague.

summer dinner

Henk prepared us an insanely delicious dinner yesterday.
Not to mention the appetizing set table with our colorful dishes collection...
Applause for my sweetheart!

We had a lovely evening with friends and enjoyed the summer dinner with the delicious dishes from our favorite cookbook Souk.

The pretty peonies from the market on both sides of the table looked great and the adorable bouquet of Sweet Peas Lammie brought along.

There's nothing like a dinner in good company at a beautifully set table.
