open doors

Daily routine.

Unpacking the dishwasher.
Open the kitchen cupboard doors and put everything back in place.
Nothing special, a daily recurring activity.
Yet I can see the 'fun' of this daily routine.
All the personal things, the mix of colors, the collections...

and when everything is back in place, close the doors again, because I'm allergic to open doors.

quay in spring style

Green and yellow bowls and jugs brighten up the quay!

Lammie made a fresh spring style shop window at the Knolhaven. She is a genius!
As I cycled along the harbour, the bright plastic stuff smiled at me from afar.

last friday in february

the red makes it

Our kitchen, this Friday morning.

The kitchen is actually very basic, white and bright. The red makes it...(without dominating)

I love this place!

home is where the heart is

The [HoMe IS wHere The HeArt IS] sign is a gift, I made for a sweet colleague. The stones with holes we found last summer on the beach of Ile de Ré.
The jugs collection on the kitchen cabinet have a new orange member, which we bought last Saturday in Amsterdam.

bright blue

The bright blue beauty joins the jug collection in our kitchen.

easter knickknacks

We eat chocolate eggs for months now, this is the umpteenth refill.
Our little Easter bunny shines already for a few weeks on the mirror (comes from the Gemeentemuseum shop in The Hague).
A Villa Augustus Easter invitation illustrated by Dorine de Vos.
The tiny red Berger anisette we found at the flea market in Lille, does not have much to do with Easter, but fits finely between our jugs collection.

a vase is a vase is a vase

I'm not only fond of flowers,
I also love vases.
For any kind of bouquet I can seize an appropriate vase.

On the upper jugs post, I received some requests for a front view photo of the collection.

The high-pitched collection on top of the kitchen cabinet is a variety of pitchers, jugs and jars in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials.

Except the fact that it's beautiful collection, I do use them piece by piece. They serve as vases, juice jugs and the beautiful pinkish red one - with the attractive spout - is actually a watering can.

have a nice weekend ahead
