lazy summer weekend

We had a nice and lazy weekend.

After a nice long sleep, we went to the beach. On the way we managed to find a flea market. This year there is a new trend. Lots of new flea markets are popping up and most of them are close to the beach. I bought a few very nice cactuses and a vase.

We ended the day with a nice dinner at the beach ...and a little dip in to the very cold water.

Hope you have a good week coming up,
Kay


PS: nice blog Foxs Lane

Kesem Yahav

 

 

Next time you are in de Pijp go to see the new ceramic studio & shop from Kesem Yahav. Me being a big fan of ceramics, I never get tired to look at new ceramic. Her prices start from five euros on so you can find some amazing gifts there but also some great mugs and co for your home.

see you soon,

Kay

 

PS: now this is a workshop I would love to do Shibori Dyeing with Indigo

crazy about cherries

Which summer fruit is your favourite?
We love all kind of berries and is hard choosing a single fruit
but this year we are totally crazy about cherries.

see you soon
Kay and co

flowers from my garden

 

Mister Kay and I spent a whole day vinyl hunting. We both have a list and we both
have a very different taste of music. So we never know what we come home with.

Only 3 more weeks of school and our long summer break is starting. We are counting the days and looking forward to endless long summer nights.

see you soon,
Kay

PS: we got some tickets to see Pokey LaFarge, sure that will be a summer highlight.

summer flea market

We stopped at a summer flea market on the way to the beach. Managed to find some fabric, vinyl and a scarf. I was very tempted to get some of the West German pottery.

Tell me what was your best vintage find the last couple of weeks?

Enjoy your Sunday.

See you,
Kay

PS: soft Sunday music on vinyl Brasil

home sweet home

I think visually ,so I like to create little zones of interest.
In the moment our living room is my fav zone of our home.


Enjoy the rest of the week

Kay

PS: love the  Melting Mug  from Studio Arhoj

a touch of Kinfolk

Here are some photos from my Kinfolk - inspired 

tea party. I had a delightful group of friends over.

They make me happy and give me some energy.

 

enjoy your week,

Kay

 

party time

 After a cozy week and some nice little trips,

Nila is going back to school tomorrow.

This book has been on my wishing list for a long time.

My best vintage find of the week.

Having a little garden party a la Kinfolk for my

girlfriends tomorrow, so I'm in the middle of

getting things ready... looking forward to it.

Kay

 

PS: I want the new Hemsley & Hemsley cookbook,

Finally Mister Kay had time to get me some tree slices.

Also I was lucky to find a Swiss Cheese Plant

Monstera deliciosa. Did you know that

Charles and Ray Eames also had one?

 

see you soon,

Kay

 

 

 

all about

On our way to the coast this morning we passed an Allium giganteum nursery. We had to stop and take some photos, the owner was really friendly and we had a nice talk.

Hope you all have a restful weekend. I'm trying to fill my one with working in the garden, a little beach walk, dinner in the garden and some reading.

see you,
Kay

PS: we all need a Jane Austen Action Figure

pure & simple

I'm in the middle of decluttering our home, my fav summer job, hahaha. Really enjoy pottering around the house and bringing some pots and clothes to the charity shop. Mister Kay also has some days off and is busy painting the house. Nila has school holidays and is taking it very easy... mmmh.

See you soon and make sure you enjoy the glorious sun,
Kay

PS: Tim Walker, always makes me smile.

nursery

Yesterday on the way to the beach we had a long stop at my fav nursery Festina Lente tuin. If you love flowers like me... then you should really plan a trip to visit them. I came home with some amazing new plants for our garden.

Kay
