july garden

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.

sowing season

The sowing season has begun.

Saturday night was a wonderful summer evening and we've been 'working' in the garden until sunset.
We have sowed the zinnia seeds in our backyard, hoping for a zinnia jungle like we had in 2014!
For some reason the zinnia's we sowed last year didn't work out like the ones in 2014.
This time I've mixed three different kinds for a colorful zinnia field in the backyard.

winter weekday

Tuesday morning.
Sunshine in the kitchen.
So bright, you can almost see through the leaves of the plant.
The vintage egg basket is empty, because of the delicious omelette we had for breakfast.
Starting the day with sunshine, is so much more fun!

The fragance of hyacinth fills the kitchen. We've enjoyed the white bunch, my sister brought us on Monday, throughout the week.

I wish you a joyful weekend!

summer of love

#nofilter

We had the most amazing pink sunset skies on Thursday!
The evening light in our backyard was so beautiful and magical!

The chain on our fence is made ​​of stones and a piece of rope, we've found on the beach of Ile de Ré two years ago.

seeds signs

We have been busy in the backyard lately, which means we have a brandnew lawn and more space for a flower garden.

I've sown lots of flower seeds on the sunny side of the garden yesterday. This year I picked Cosmos (pink, white and orange), Zinnias (multicolored, striped and large) and Tagates (African Marigold) and I've made some wooden seeds signs to mark their spot.

The Hollyhocks and Lathyrus have survived the mild winter and are growing fast, the Sweet Peas are already blooming.

Well the sun is shining today, which is of course a good circumstance for growing flower seeds.

Fingers crossed for a beautiful colorful flower field and sunny summer!

sour & sweet & spring

Some maternity gifts I've made for sweet baby [jules].

A wood & word sign and a wood & word hare hanger with his beautiful name.

and Y A Y, it's officially spring today!

[ik hou jou] postcard

Ahoy sailor!

My new [ik hou jou] postcard needs a small explanation for the non-Dutch speakers;
[ik hou van jou] is the Dutch way to say [i love you]
By leaving out the word [van], it means [i keep you]

Such a super sweet card in the rack!
