Beefeater plates

They have been on my wishing list for a long time. Finally I was lucky to find my first Beefeater plate made by English Ironstone Pottery in the 60s. The plates came in the most amazing colors. Lets hope I find some more this summer.

Did I tell you already that I'm vegetarian? lol

see you

At the moment I'm totally addicted to
Borgen and Couscous salad

Madam Popoff Vintage

If you have time this weekend Madam Popoff will open her new shop on Saturday. If you love vintage clothes, you will love the new shop.

Next time I have to spent some more time there. Still need a few pretty 50's summer dresses.

PS:  Juan Zelada, love his song Breakfast in Spitalfields ( makes me miss London like crazy)

Riverview Diner

We had a lovely brunch at the Riverview Diner. If you like pancake and good music (rock & roll) Riverview is a really cool place. We had a great time there. So if you are in Ashford, Kent
treat yourself !!

Hello again

Hello again! Hope you missed me...

We are home after a busy week in the UK.

Had a lovely birthday party at Tea & Times in Whitstable.
Thank you for so many birthday wishes (very sweet).
I was very lucky to get so many wonderful gifts.
Finally, I'm now a proud owner of a bright yellow ukulele.

Hope you are all well! Soon more about our trip .
There is still time to join my giveaway.

weekend plans

This winter I spent a lot of time outdoors. If you do,

make sure you have some waterproof boots

and a warm jacket (I learned from last winter, lol).

A new project for this weekend. I got some more paint yesterday

(Spearmint from Little Greene).

 

My favorite healthy  winter snack

ice skating

This week most of the dutch people are hoping for a natural ice skating marathon which is called  "Eleven Cities Tour". The last one was 15 years ago. At the moment the ice is still too weak (fingers crossed).

Keep warm and enjoy your week

Kay

PS:  started watching Surface (a good one)

snow... snow and snackcercise

a photo from my garden...

Mister Kay was so sweet to bring some flowers home

and my neighbour brought me some cupcakes.

At the moment I really have to be strong to switch off my laptop. Trying to read a bit more.
The new Queen book is waiting for me and some magazines.

see you
Kay

PS : I want to go to the  Hobbs House Bakery (their bread looks so good, we drive miles for good bread). Wondering if I should buy the book , does anybody have it yet? Here is more about Tom & Henry.

- some Snackcercise with Miss Piggy
- our sunday music Juliette Greco

Baby it's cold outside

Baby It's cold outside

Perfect day to stay home...

I really like the small serving table 'Don't leave me' from Hay.

Not sure which color I would get and I don't really need a table,

it just looks so pretty

and I'm sure it will be a design classic one day.

Enjoy your weekend and make sure you stay warm.

Kay

PS: my blog of the week

The Custards (wonderful vintage blog)

- I love this The Dog Strikes Back

my week

this week

- I started knitting
- I did eat too many sweets (again)
- totally in love with my little vintage Saturn Radio
- burned lots of candles
- really like Madonnas hair, lol
- I'm addicted to Korean Citrus tea

In a way the word tea is kind of misleading, as there is no tea in it.
Looks a bit like jam. 

How was your week?
see you
Kay

PS: love the voice of  Brownie Dutch

Valentine's day

I wonder what I should get Mister Kay for Valentine's day this year???
