gentse lente - ghent spring

We took a weekend trip to our Belgian neighbors.

We explored Ghent on Saturday, mainly without coat, and enjoyed summerlike weather.
After a Belgian brunch on the sunny terrace we took lots of pictures of the urban life in Ghent.
At the end of the afternoon we shared a Belgian fries and left towards Bruges (to be continued)

For now; a photo report of the Ghent Spring.

We had a great day in Amsterdam yesterday.
In the morning I had the last Cool Crochet workshop meeting in the showroom of Ank's Household Hardware store. It's a stunning location at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam.
We have talked through the program and We both can not wait to meet everyone in Marrakech in April.

Then we drove to the KNSM island to Sissy Boy Homeland to celebrate Yvonne's booklaunch party.
[Yvestown in de keuken] is such a WONDERFUL book! (much more on that later...)
So many nice people in one place.
Everyone was having a great time, we have made ​​a photo report on Yvonne's request.

yvestown book launch day

Off to Amsterdam! Today is Yvestown book launch day.
We will celebrate Yvonne's book launch party at Sissy Boy Homeland in Amsterdam.

So proud of Yvonne and Roel, who invented a new book genre;
YVESTOWN IN DE KEUKEN is about kitchen interiors and recipes from friends!
Culinary and interior inspiration in one book.
Can't wait to see the book! (and then quickly browse to our 'chapter')

This is a small gift for Yvonne and the postcard speaks for itself:
Yvestown in the kitchen, a book to lick!

fragranced & treasured

That single Snowball flower gives the whole room a delightful fragrance.

The treasured vintage bamboo mirror we bought in Bayonne last summer, provides the room with sunshine throughout the year.
