christmas 2020

For an extra special and surprising christmas brunch, we've set the table at 'le petit restaurant' in the living room.

Change of scenery creates a different atmosphere. The illusion of being a guest elsewhere, sitting at the table somewhere else, anywhere other than the kitchen table. Using different tableware, that we have not used for a long time.

Try to think positively and creatively despite all the restrictions. A lot is still possible and it felt extra festive to have breakfast at home this morning.

Happy Holidays to you all!

apple & pear

Curiosities on the tiny table:

The pear jar is a gift from my sweetheart.
He bought the pear for me last Saturday at Lammie's Saturday shop in Dordrecht. (he knows what i like)
The vintage apple mirror is from Marseille.
The tile is a souvenir from Sevilla, we bought it in a antique shop years ago.
Old german book about trees from Berlin.

casa emocional

As I'm reading my favorite Spanish interior magazine AD - architectural digest - I come across a term that really appeals to me;

casa emocional
Cerámica, geometrías, arte de amigos, mantas de ganchillo y mucho humor.
Esa es mi casa!

Ceramics, geometries, art of friends, crocheted blankets and lot's of humor are the signs of an emotional home.

The house we live in, belongs to this category.

Lammie's new shop (brocante and very special stuff) in one of the many harbors in the old town of Dordrecht, is the scene for a 'blanket shoot'. You should really visit her shop at the Knolhaven no.15 (only open on Saturdays)

A 196-multi-colored-granny-squares blanket is ready to be shipped to France. Traditionally, the blanket must be photographed before departure. (certainly such a mega crochet project)

We bought the table and that's the wind beneath my skirt ...
