Chinese New Year

We went to Chinatown in Den Haag today. After a lovely brunch we watched  the Chinese New Year celebrations. Nila and I fallen madly in love with the cute lions. The white one was my favorite.

The opening and the following parade tell the story about the lion waking up at the end of the year. He is hungry and starts looking for food.

Everybody hangs a lettuce plant above the front door for the lion to eat. This will please the lion and brings the people good luck and prosperity in the coming year.

So the lions go through every street eating the lettuce. It's a very colorful festival with drums and lots of fireworks.

Happy new year,
Kay

Weekend mood

Finally weekend is here. After a busy week I'm wishing for a calm weekend .
Feel like a long family brunch and it would be nice if I find the time to make a cake.

spring flowers & co

I keep bringing home this kind of soft colored vases, some of them are vintage but most of them are not older then 10 years. They just look so pretty in a group or with spring flowers. Tell me which combination you like most. For me it's photo number 3.

- Been talking to my girlfriends today to join or start a vintage Bake Club. Swapping recipes and trying new cakes. I really like the idea.

see you soon
