new on the art wall

Two new art posters on the wall.

Portrait of a lady - Klimt
Like an elephant in a porcelain shop - Grønholdt

Two poster from Danmark arrived yesterday. Small change, great joy.
We have poured a friday afternoon drink to toast to the weekend.

In the meantime I'm working on a new chevron pillow! Fun crochet project to work on.
You can download the crochet pattern in my Etsy shop.

inspiration - may 2019

David Hockney Joy of Nature exhibition poster (souvenir of the Van Gogh museum visit last week)

spring fever in sunny february

Henk brought me a huge bunch of yellow tulips from the market this morning.

The florist told him the Victorian interpretation of yellow tulips; there’s sunshine in your smile!

I have arranged the tulips in the big yellow mustard tin, which I bought on the berber market near the Atlas Mountains on my latest workshop trip in October.

On this sun-drenched Saturday in February it looks even more like spring.

The appreciation and joy in 'the little things' in life.

Cheers to the weekend!

bright light

After weeks and weeks of long 'backyard' summer evenings, we moved to the living room because of the summer storm yesterday. For the first time since a long time, we spent the evening indoors. Cooler days ahead of us...

The August days are slowly getting shorter, so we also need to turn on the lights. Well that has its charm too.

The 1980s toucan desk lamp designed by H.T. Huang, our vintage find from Palermo, ushered in the first indoor-evening. Bright, cheerful and funny light.


Palermo, 19th of June 2018 - our toucan in the vintage shop, a practical souvenir because of the folding beak.

Have a cool weekend you all, wherever you are!
