spring fever in sunny february

Henk brought me a huge bunch of yellow tulips from the market this morning.

The florist told him the Victorian interpretation of yellow tulips; there’s sunshine in your smile!

I have arranged the tulips in the big yellow mustard tin, which I bought on the berber market near the Atlas Mountains on my latest workshop trip in October.

On this sun-drenched Saturday in February it looks even more like spring.

The appreciation and joy in 'the little things' in life.

Cheers to the weekend!

room ten

This weekend we stayed at Villa Augustus, in a water tower room on the third floor with a beautiful view. Looking out from the hotelroom windows, we could see the major rivers of Dordrecht. The room was colorful, comfortable and homely and we would have loved to stay all week.
Delicious food, sleep late and eat breakfast in the hotel room, what bliss! We really enjoyed every single minute!
