blue second advent

Countdown... we had a cozy blue second Advent coffee.

Having a lot of fun with my table decorations this year...  I got some angels from Rie Elise Larsen. She is my fav paper artist. Also I was in the mood for some shiny red coffee mugs (from the Hema). The rest is vintage.

Tomorrow night we will celebrate Sinterklaas here in the Netherlands.

Did anybody start making Christmas cookies yet?


enjoy your week

ps: Blue Christmas with Elvis

Rock 'n' hair

Like Elvis Presley and James Dean my dad wore the Pompadour. So I was delighted when I got Rock 'n' Hair, a great book about vintage hairstyles for everyday.

I have been struggling to maintain my rockabilly look on a daily base but in the book are some great & easy step-by-step instructions (nice Christmas gift).

enjoy your weekend.

Moravian (Herrnhuter) star

About five years ago we got a white Moravian (Herrnhuter) star made of paper. It is hanging in our living room all year round. At the Christmas market in Dusseldorf there was a Herrnhuter stand. I wanted a white plastic star for our front door for a long time... so now you know what Mister Kay will do this weekend.


- I  love Action Pack... you can find my friend Joanie's latest crafting project there
- the new  N.E.E.T  magazine is out

see you

Christmas mood

After my trip to the Christmas market  last weekend I'm totally in the christmas mood. My living room looks like a Christmas elf workshop. Yesterday I did get some gifts from the local shops for my family & friends in the USA and UK.

I also made a trip to the garden center to get some more winter berries, mistletoe and candles. In the next couple of days we got some december highlights coming...

- this friday a christmas party with my bookclub (always good)
- 5.12 Sinterklaas (dutch Christmas)
- 6.12 we are putting up our christmas tree

I always put on a few kilos at Christmas time. I just love german marzipan & pepermint bark. This year  I will take some extra spinning classes in the next couple of weeks so I can eat and still look good (hahaha)

see you soon

Design Börse Düsseldorf 2011

There was so much to see at the Design Börse last weekend in Düsseldorf. Every design icon you ever dreamed of was there and much more... It was fun to see that mister kay and I still have the same taste.

I fell in love with the white ceramic star vase (guess I was in a Christmas mood).

There where so many cool lamps, like the Grasshopper by Greta Grossman and the Artichoke by Poul Henningsen.

More pictures of the build up on Saterday evening on the slideshow below.




If you missed it this year you definitely have to go next year.
