december decoration in the hallway

Colorful December decoration in our hallway.

A practical tree that takes up little space, but has a big effect on the mural in our hallway.

I actually bought the beautiful vintage Christmas balls postcards to send them, but suddenly got this bright idea.

We also have a real Christmas tree this year, because we are going to celebrate Christmas Eve with Liam-Novi for the first time.

An extra festive and special Christmas with our family and we are all looking very much forward to it.

handknitted sweaters & love postcard sets

on the inside

A pin board on the inside of the kitchen cabinet.

With pushpins I've pinned some precious postcards and stuff hanging around.
Out of sight until you open the cabinet door.

It annoys me when someone does not close the cabinet door, so that 'problem' is solved too.

hello good friday

Everchanging interior with everchanging postcard collection on the wall.

The magazine rack moved to the attic and is replaced by a vintage postcard display, I found once in a garbage container.

You often read about the most wonderful finds on the side of the road. I used to think only 'others' were so lucky, but then one day I actually found 3 vintage postcard racks in a container. They were a bit rusty but brilliant and they even have 4 sides, only the rotation stand was missing, well i don't mind.

Have a good Friday!

The best thing about the white wooden wall at my desk is, it can be transformed in a wink.

The yellow mirror that we bought this weekend at Lammie's, hangs on the wall now. The mini mirror collection brings beautiful light to the room and reflects the alphabet wall.

Saturday night we had family visiting from St. Petersburg. They treated us to Matrushka dolls and Russian chocolate.

We had a lovely time together.

Cool glamcards on my desk;
a card that can wink and a card that can kiss!

First there was a white heart postcard,
followed by the neon pink heart
and from today there is a colored heart too.

Friday I'm in love (with the new Villa Augustus 5th anniversary book)

wood & wool week

Yesterday we laughed out loud (understatement) at the brilliant performance of Gummbah.
The postcards are very popular.
The crocheted hearts compartment was empty soon.
I have just made some new ♥ postcards to refill.
It's nice to do something new and refresh the collection.
Anyhow the handmade stools remain and seem to be the most popular.
The traditional version is still favorite...

By the way; today, they glued the pebbles in the bathroom (só pretty!)
In a few days it will be ready (I promise to do a photo report) and I can't wait to get a 'foot massage'.

The last few days I have a bad cold and the bathrooms works (dusty) do not contribute to a quick recovery.

If you've always wanted to go to Marrakech?
and want to learn crochet?
This cool crochet trip is perfect for you!

During your stay in Marrakech you will reside in the super-stylish riad chambres d'amis.

There are two options, whether in spring or autumn; you can learn cool crochet in Marrakech.
In spring I will go there with my love. Yeah.

More cool news; Since yesterday my handmade postcards are for sale at Villa Augustus!

For the time being, these two 'valentine' cards are the first ones, but I'm working on expanding the collection and making prints for my Etsy shop.
