it's spring
you can feel it
this weekend we switch to summer time
"oh can you believe
that everything is waiting to unfold?"

nathalie lété plates
Yesterday the mailman brought two boxes from Londen.
Content; thirteen diner plates by Natalie Lete.
Well, there's only one plate pour moi.
Last Thursday I showed my colleagues the Natalie Lete plate I was planning to order at Anthropologie. In no time I had a collective order of 13 diner plates.
Today I have displayed the colorful collection on the garden table (for the picture) and tomorrow I will hand out the dinner plates to my colleagues.
Tonight we have opened the 'dinner outside' season (using other plates by the way).

lasting love
Since the super sofa arrived,
I get happy everytime I enter the livingroom.
It fits in our house perfectly and is everyone's new favorite spot at home.
Saturday the pillow covers that I had ordered at Stof Enzo arrived.
Hydi made two almost equal pillow covers in her lovely African fabric.
(the other one has a different print on the back)
The prints match so surprisingly well with the sofa.
This morning when I came back from running,
I kicked off my shoes and stretched out to relax on the sofa for a while...
oh yeah, this is 'lasting love'

friday i'm in love with tommy
rocking rooster
A working day at Villa Augustus;
My favorite weekly Thursday flower day.
The chandelier Easter preparation, this year with rocking roosters and eggs.
The restaurant is open as usual during the small renovation.
(does not seem crowded, but everyone was sitting outside in the sun on the terrace)
In the market more Easter mood
Spring bouquets
Forget me nots
Easter baskets
shiny hares and homemade chocolate lollipops.

moving
My office moved a few meters eastwards today.
Our new super long sofa caused a 'furniture swap'.
(all possibilities have passed through)
After a lot of shuffling back and forth, everything has a new place and I do not even have to get used to it.
The whole family can sit on the 4.5 couch.
We even fit all at once and there is still plenty of space for at least half a person.

bottlenecklace
The big bottle is a gift from Lammie.
I'm very pleased with the old bottle, it's so pretty with that pink blossom branch and deserves a prominent place in the living.
Stuck on the wall this week;
Bottle vases by Foekje Fleur.
Front and back of the postcard I've made for Lammie's shop.
A supersweet photo of Minne on opa's neck.
The new Villa Augustus Easter brochure with glorious illustrations (as always) by Dorine de Vos.
