Advent weekend

Another slow weekend. Nila and I started the day early with watching On the Town. My idea is to visit some of my friends at the Original market in Leiden today.

enjoy your weekend,
Kay

PS: tips of the week

• Rocky snowy mountain pillows from Sloppop
• Lunar Calendar from Tyler Stout

Starlamp

I saw this cool Starlamp this morning at Sissy-Boy. Looks so pretty, a bit like Hollywood Glamour.

Would be cool to have a vintage one but I guess that would be not easy.

see you,
Kay

PS:  Weihnachten mit Fräulein Klein, looks like a nice Christmas book

There is beauty everywhere

There is beauty everywhere!!!

This morning on my way to the market.

 

A couple of weeks ago I got a vintage Kermit green winter coat but I must say I really liked the yellow coat this morning. Looks great with dark hair.

 

Which color is your winter coat this year?

 

see you,

Kay

winter poster

 

The Christmas tree poster I got last year just after Christmas.

So now I need to get a frame but I just realized how huge it actually is. It´s going to be quite a challenge to find one that fits.

 

see you,

Kay

 

 

PS: Looking forward to see the Hunger Games 2

 

 

Christmas

 

A perfect mix of old and new.

 

Dreaming about a white Christmas tree for years now.

So I was delighted when my friend offered me one... to tryout.

 

Last weekend we had a little white Christmas.

Unfortunately Mister Kay wasn't very impressed with my fake white Graceland

Christmas tree.

 

What do you think... fake or not fake??

  

see you

Kay

 

 

PS: cool Denmark poster

 

winter ABC

 Cozy and warm at home

 

Red... great winter color

 Thinking about Christmas gifts

 Homemade gifts

 

Has anybody started thinking about Christmas gifts yet? Christmas shopping?
Love to hear about it!

see  you
Kay

PS: love Lydia Leith

so beautiful

 

Friday morning on my way to  the

Kazimir Malevich exhibition.

 The  work from Russian painter

Malevich at the Stedelijk Museum

is amazing. For me a must see.

 

Enjoy your weekend,

Kay

 

 

PS: I'm so curious about Maleficent. Has anybody seen it??

 

 

I should be

This week I should be in the garden. It's time to bring some of our plants in to the greenhouse and all the vintage furniture should go in to the shed.
,

 

But then I just got the new Frankie. Nice to see Anke Weckermann's work on the cover. So I'm sitting here and reading.

see you,
Kay

PS: music of the week Caetano Veloso

Ben Dickson

Elvis , Johnny Cash, Harry Hills and Morrissey... all my kind of icons. Ben Dickson's linocuts are amazing and pretty cool. I have seen his work in restaurants and in my friends houses. A couple of weeks ago I finally had a change to meet the man behind this art.

His work is totally my cup of tea. I just wonder which icon  he will do next. My personal favorite is Harry Palmer.


see you
Kay

Inox

Inox makes me happy...

vintage plants

my second doll  from Juime (they look so vintage) 

 

Hi There,

 

In the last couple of weeks  I changed the color of my cupboard about 3 times. After driving my family and my friend Veerle crazy I finally decided that Inox from Little Greene is my color. Now I'm sitting here having coffee and enjoying my home.

 

see you,

Kay

PS: more then cute John Lewis Christmas ad

cozy weekend

Ready for  a cozy weekend. Looking forward to vintage hunting on Saturday morning and a little beach walk later in the afternoon.

• Just finished reading the Seamstress by Maria Duenas, which I really enjoyed.
• I'm addicted to Gin Gins (hope I can find them here in the Netherlands).
• Every morning I'm in the Gym (just love sports).
• Drinking Elderflower cordial.
• Stef Bos... love this voice.
• Really want to see Kazimir Malevich.

wishing you all a good weekend,
Kay

I'm a little bit in the Christmas mood today.

Looks like that we are having our yearly

ceramic

I managed to get one of Vicky Hageman's beautiful new ceramic succulent pots. Would be nice to have a couple of them. We could do with a little more green in the house.

Do you have a lot of plants in the house?

see you,
Kay

PS: More cool ceramic Atelier Stella

vinyl love

We had a cozy weekend.Yesterday we had a short trip to the record store in  Haarlem. Our Sunday we spend all day listening to music, not sure if my cat Icy likes my taste of music (see  photo).

enjoy the rest of the weekend,
Kay

PS: we will miss you Buttons Kaluhiokalani

we all need a hat

One of my lucky finds last week. My vintage chocolate brown hat. Perfect for the rainy days. Do you like my new hat??

After a busy week I just need a lazy weekend. No plans, just taking it easy.

Kay
