Blue Monday

 

Hi There,

I noticed I'm not very good with vintage clothes. Only very rarely I find a nice piece. But it's easy for me to find a cool vintage accessory, like a bag or a scarf.

What about you guys? Do you wear vintage clothes? Or do you swap clothes with your girl friends?

see you,
Kay

PS: Last night I really enjoyed The Musketeers.

crazy collection

Today I saw this interesting collection of vintage planters in town. Not sure what the owner did with them. It looks like he gave them a makeover with false eyelashes...

Weekend - this week I spent lots of time record hunting. There is  a nice record shop called Wax Well. I always find some nice records there. This week I brought home Agnes Obel  and Etta James.

fine weekend,
Kay

a fine day in town

I love rainy days in Amsterdam.
Always nice to go to see the friendly girls at Suhka.
Treat yourself... with some good coffee & cake.
Look for some more wool at Weldraad.
walking... talking...

enjoy your week,
Kay

Swedish blue

 

Here are my vintage finds from the weekend.

 

Mid Century glass vase by the Swedish company Skruf.

This pressed glass is in a deep blue color and designed by Lars Hellsten.

 

 

A record from Astrud Gilberto,

cool music for a long and hot summer.

 

New week on the way...

Hoping that we have time tonight

to make some holiday plans.

Happy weekend

The tree is gone! The house is nice and empty.

Not sure what we will do this weekend

Amsterdam Light Festival

 

Last weekend we had a nice trip to the Light Festival. I must say Amsterdam is so pretty with all the light and it makes one very happy to see it.

The Festival is on till the 19th of January. So if you're in town make sure you take a little walk in the night.

see you,
Kay

PS: I'm crazy about Pokey La Farge, just love his music... so vintage. Sure my dad would have loved
his look and his music as well.

Minnie Riperton

I have been searching for such a long time to find Minnie Riperton's album Perfect Angel on vinyl, so hard to find! So I was chuffed to find it in my local charity shop (very close to home).

Love hearing about good charity shop finds. Send me a link or photos.

Leaving you with loving you by Minnie Riperton.

see you,
Kay

PS: cute little shop Love Mae

a little bit of shopping

 

Went to Haarlem yesterday to visit my friend. On the way I did some shopping...

New trainers. Noticed I do about a year with a pair of trainers but then I sport everyday. A greenish blue top whith a touch of glitter... I wanted one of them for a long time. Got this one in Durf.

I just started a new book and also I'm trying to finish my blue scarf. Also on my list a long walk with the family. Hope you got some nice plans.

Enjoy your weekend,
Kay

 

Femkeido Shop

A trip to Delft was on my list for a long time. I really wanted to visit the Femkeido Shop.

What a cute little shop. Full of design treasure. Love the forest wallpaper (see photo number 3) on the shop wall. Also it was really nice to meet Merel, one of the owners, a very friendly and cheerful person.

see you,
Kay

PS: my new blog love Camellia Fiber Company
