Femkeido



 
Some of my friends in the UK have home sale parties but here in the Netherlands it is not very common. It was nice to visit Femke from Femkeido in her home today where she organised a home sale party. I tell you her home is so beautiful and now I really want wallpaper in my living room.
 
see you,
Kay 
 
PS: also I finally had a change to meet

relax




It's weekend again.

Our Saturday plans are to go vintage hunting at our fist local spring flea market of the year. I remember that one was very good last year. Hope that there will be also some time to relax and unwind. This week I spent so much with my camera, lol. But I really enjoyed it very much.

fine little weekend,
Kay

PS: I just love the work from Eugenie Lighthart
