I have found a great webshop that sell wonderful things, http://www.zinkenzo.nl/.
When I received my package there was also a small present in it, that's so sweet.
And she wraps the packages in a gorgious way, just look at this!

Here is the first present that came with it.

And here is the second present.

Cute!

This is the magazine I ordered, it's absolutely a gorgious magazine full with the most beautiful scandinavian interiors.

I also bought the christmas book from Jeanne Dárc and that's gorgious too. I have forgotten to take a photo of it. Will do that soon.

Here is a bag that I made for the bag and bucket swap.I'm very pleased with how it looks, and it was a bit hard to say goodbye to it today.

I made this flower arangement last week. Making those is a big hobby of me and I just love doing it. When I worked at a garden center called Intratuin it was part of my job. I gave demontstrations in how to make flower arangements and I also gave kids workshops and kids birthday parties and I helped with flower arangement workshops. It was a wonderful time there .

A couple of weeks we went to a lovely Autumn fair in the province Zeeland. There I bought this cute heart and the lovely ribbons.

I have been looking for what seems like ages for a certain old fashioned plant. I don't know the english word for it but we call it a chinees lantaarntje. I have seen it in many Scandinavian blogs and it reminded me of my youth when I had such a plant in my bedroom. I have been looking at the big garden centers and for it and in small flowershops but I can't seem to find it anywhere, so sad.

But I won't give up and will continue to search for it.

At a cute small flowershop here in town I found these cute plants,they're called muehlenbeckia.

I just love them too.

And here is my baby bunny I got from my sun for my birthday, his name is Darryl. Isn't he cute!!!!!

I have received my package from the Fall apron swap. I have received a gorgious apron that I can wear like this

And like this, great huh.
That is, the apron not me. I never like the photo's I'm on.

And I also received this lovely potholder.

These where made by Theresa and this is her blog http://familyontour.typepad.com/rosytoes/

Thank you very much Theresa for this great package, I just LOVE it!

Here are the 2 sisters together again. Lotje stayed with us for 2 weeks because her new owners went on vacation. They both had a wonderful time together.They played in a fenced part of our garden, unfortunately I had some potplants and some decorations still standing there.....You can guess what happened with it!
Well, that's my fault, I should have known and removed them.
One thing that happened was a bit scary though. I had an old enamel ware milkcan there and suddenly I heard lots of noise so I looked outside. There I saw Abbey stuck with her head in it, I tried to get her out of it but I couldn't. So I shouted for my husband to help me.She was in panic and her hart went so fast, mine too!
It took some time but after we used water and soap her head got out.

This is an apron I made for the fall apron swap I was in.

Hopefully my partner likes it.

And here are some of my birthday presents.

And these lovely things I received from a swap over at crochetaholics swap from my partner Joann.

My husband is at work and it is a very rainy day so I think I will do some crafting this afternoon.

Have a lovely sunday.

I always like to change the decorations in my house. And last wednesday it was my 43th birthday so that was a good excuse to re-decorate a bit in my livingroom again.
Here are some photo's.

These where allready there but I changed it a little bit.

I really love geraniums, this one I bought last year and he is still doing great.

Then I just also love old enamel ware. I have colected lots and lots of it allready. My husband and kids are not really pleased with all those old, vintage things I collect .......... They think I have far too many of them allready!

Not at all!!!!!!!!!

Some lovely smelling soaps.

And more old enamel ware.

After I took the last photo I knew something was missing.

A lovely ribbon.

I found a lovely piece of lace that was just right for my cupboard.

And my sweet cat Diesel.

I hope that you all wil have a lovely weekend.

We're back from a wonderful and relaxed vacation in Spain. because we brought our little puppy with us this was a very realxed vacation and we mostly spend our time on the camping, on the beach and in Calella.
We all enjoyed ourselves and we had lovely and sunny weather. What more do we need.
We didn't made many photo's partly because it's our third year here in Calella.
Here are some of the photo's.
