My friend Sally knows my taste of books .

(I call her my book twin).

I was delighted when I got Missed Connections

 by  Sophie Blackall for Christmas.

The illustrations are fabulous, just a wonderful little book to have.

What are you reading in the moment??

Silver Wings

Good morning.

We still got a week holidays... watching movies really early in the morning, candlelight breakfast, no sports, time to read... so nice.

I did some cleaning yesterday but we keep the Christmas tree for a couple of days longer.

enjoy your week

Hello 2012

We finished 2011 with a glass of red Ukrainskoye Sekt

(My dad always got this one for Christmas).

We started 2012 with a lazy breakfast ,

 the new CD from Helene Grimaud ,

making some plans for 2012,

eating  lots of Christmas sweets.

Wishing you all a healthy, happy and creative 

2012

fine little walk

Amsterdam was busy today but also pretty

Street Art by Bustart

Everywhere in town you can get Oliebollen and Appelbeignets (dutch apple fritters),

sweets snacks that are traditionally eaten in the Netherlands on New Years Eve.

All we needed today was a  nice little walk in town today .

Amsterdam is a fantastic place to walk.

see you very soon

Ps: love the work form  Sandra Dieckmann

Quiet & cozy days

our little mushroom  tree

vintage coffee pot from Antti Nuresniemi & Peppermint bark

Father Christmas has been good to us. I love the days between Christmas and New Year. They are quiet & cozy. Still lots of special  food in the house. Great time to potter around the house and to find a good place for our new vintage goodies, books and cds.

I'm totally in love with my Antti Nuresniemi coffee pot, the color is just perfect...looks perfect in our home.

enjoy
