The first signs of spring are here! The other day I heard buzzards screaming which means that they are defending their territory, wood pigeons are cooing and the snowdrops are almost in bloom.
Yesterday morning on the daily walk with the dogs I had the opportunity to take this picture. Probably we had disrupted the deer [...]

Once upon a time …
February 6th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Life, Once upon a time...
Once upon a time I lived 7 years in the southern part of the United States.
It is hard to believe now but we lived in a house like this, an old cotton-plantation home in Georgia.
The house came with 2 (wild) dogs that were left behind by the former tenant. We had our own forest and [...]

Last Sunday while walking the dogs, this romantic building loomed up in the mist. Though I am a person who likes modern architecture, this picture is pretty like a postcard don’t you think? This country estate is named de Slotplaats and is situated on the edge of Bakkeveen, a little town in Friesland, The Netherlands.

In the northern part of Holland it still looks like this, like a fairy tail…
Jigger and me on our daily walk.

Like for instance this Goshawk.
Because of him my pigeons have to [...]

Hello everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas?
When we left our drive still looked like this.
The snow stayed just long enough for us to have a white Christmas. We stayed in a little hotel around the corner of the Kröller-Müller Museum. The second day of our stay was a lovely sunny day and we [...]

Snowed in!

How was your weekend? We were snowed in for 2 days! Our home is pretty far from the road and the long drive was, because of the more than 40 cm. layer of snow, impassable for our car. In order to do some much needed shopping, we dug out two hollows in the driveway to [...]

Yesterday I was up pretty early to walk the dogs in the woods. Difficult to imagine because today it is overcast again but yesterday it looked like this…

The Groninger Museum is known for her outstanding fashion exhibitions. The Museum presents from December 13 on a wide and unique selection of the unconventional fashion designers, Bernhard Willhelm en Jutta Kraus. Sunday we arrived at the Museum and guess what; because I did not read the advertisement accurate, we were 14 days early!
The Groninger [...]

I just came back from Flavourites Live Event in Amsterdam. For 4 days I made a presentation there with our jewelry. It was a nice new initiative for the public to see the people behind the web shops. I realized beforehand it would be very young and hip but it turned out the whole fair [...]
