wrapping paper - part2

...and this is katty's trunk of wrapping paper :-)

oh well, okay

we know that there are a LOT of nice cupcake-baking-people nowadays, and you will not be thrilled by yet another one, but these are from far far away - australia to be precise- and just soooo deliciously yummie, in a refined way....we could not resist.
they have them in several flavours including Raspberry Cream, Lime Curd, Caramel, Chocolate and Coffee. They also have brownies with raspberry centre....mmmmm!

lovely junk

that was then, this is now

Young me/Now me is a hilarious site, where you can upload an old image of yourself, together with a recent one, preferrably at the same setting, same position as back then...funny :-)

swedishness

Uppercase, "a magazine for the creative and curious". And curious we are, so we have ordered 4 issues to see what it is (greedy girls).

Well, it is very inspiring, and has a beautiful lay out.

Found this beautiful swedish tablecloth in a second hand shop today. Lucky me!

all the luck in the world

Graphic designer and artist Jane Schouten loves to combine found and thrifted articles with her own colourful personal touch. Very inspiring and we love all these happy colors.

socks

We love socks!
Socks are simple cute pets for everyday life to make our feet happy.
If you are not barefoot wear OW (where Sven Wiederholt is czar) socks.

Ode to the humble doily.
A nice blog with lots of links to other blogs and people that make new and often refreshing things with your grannies doily..

Happy Birthday Flor!

This little zeza&flor mascot becomes twelve today!

The second picture was made when he was 10, and the one at the bottom is from this summer...

wrapping paper

We have to confess another addiction: we keep buying wrapping paper, even if we still have enough. At the bottom you see Eva's collection.

Once a year we go to "Het Paleis" where you can get it for free (actually it is meant to cover your school books with). The design is from Rob Marcelis.
