oliebollen in da house

oliebollen oliebollen oliebollen

Oliebollen in da house.

It is a custom for Dutch people to have oliebollen & appelflappen on New Year’s eve, which explains the extra long queues at most of the oliebollen mobile stalls setup on various spots around the city.

Have a wonderful New Year's Eve!
A brandnew year and decade ahead of us, to start all over again and make new plans!

Let's make Twenty Twenty top notch and try to get everything out of it!

Thanks for another year of following my blog.

lots of love, Ingrid x

grapefruit moon

good morning good morning good morning good morning

Good morning from the attic bedroom.

The pillowcases are designed by Dorine de Vos - exclusively for Villa Augustus employees - Christmas gift 2019.

"Grapefruit Moon"

Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me.
Heard that tune, and now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide.

Never had no destination, could not get across.
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost.
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide.

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity,
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity.
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, puts me up a tree,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see.
