Easter Monday - 22nd of April

Second day at the beach this year and sunniest and warmest Easter ever.

Like two days ago on Good Friday, we went to the Noordzee coast to spend a few hours on the beach.

Exactly long enough to enjoy a day at the beach without suffering from sunburn afterwards. And to avoid the traffic jam and arrive home on time, to spend the rest of the day in the backyard, to end this splendid Easter weekend with a lovely outdoor dinner.

een bloemetje op tafel

'Een bloemetje op tafel' is a new florist shop in Rotterdam.

My friend Lysbeth and her partner in crime Johan just know everything about flowers and recently opened a new shop.

Lysbeth and Johan both are very talented florists and they got excellent taste. Their florist shop is decorated with great 'green' style, exactly how a florist shop should be!

In the flowershop you can also find the most beautiful houseplants, vintage flower paintings, moroccan glassware and the colorful vases by Foekje Fleur, Lysbeth's daughter.

The gorgeous small typical Lysbeth-bouquets are arranged with flowers from her own garden.

Een bloemetje op tafel [flowers on the table] is located at the Nieuwe Binnenweg 98 in Rotterdam.

The big bottle is a gift from Lammie.
I'm very pleased with the old bottle, it's so pretty with that pink blossom branch and deserves a prominent place in the living.

After-fun on the pinboard and I'm super happy with my new silk Foekje Fleur scarf.
