moroccan mirrors

Don't you just love those tiny mirrors with plastic lacy frame from Morocco?
Cute small souvenirs that I brought back home for some friends.

I'm a sucker for crappy trinkets and just love that color and pattern!

la dolce vita

Saturday. Sunshine. Backyard. Being lazy. La dolce vita.

What a beautiful Saturday it's been!

spike

Spike, the dachshund.
By far my favorite plate in tha house!

This plate by Nathalie L'été is a painting of her own dog Spike.

Love at first sight.

room with a view

Last Whitsun weekend we stayed at Villa Augustus. We booked a room in the water tower, on the second floor with a beautiful view. A view on the rivers of Dordrecht, even from your bed you can see the water!
The room is bright, green and so comfortable and charming.

We really enjoyed every single minute of the annual weekend break 'at work'.

sibella court books

Sibella Court, bestselling author of Etcetera, The Stylist's Guide to NYC, Nomad, Bowerbird and Gypsy is a globetrotter and treasure hunter.

Sibella is a unique and incomparable stylist and author. I love her style and sense of color.

Last week Henk got the 'The Life of a Bowerbird' a as birthday gift, which makes our Court book collection almost complete. Today I enjoyed browsing Bowerbird*

Heavenly books, full of inspiration to look at again and again! Highly recommended. You can find them all in The Society Inc.

Which one is your favorite?
* A bowerbird is an Australian native bird that builds a reedy ground nest and goes to extraordinary lenghts to decorate it with 'stolen' goods and found objects like shells, bones, pegs and shiny milk caps.
