photo taken in New Zealand in 2008 Yes! I’m finally off to Canada! See you in three weeks or so! Be safe!
My friend Krystin does these “Right now” posts that I love. They always make me feel like I’m right there sitting next to her, sipping tea. I thought I’d try one myself today!...
I’ve been a little irregular with my posts lately, while one of my goals for this year was to be quite the opposite. The thing is, I’ve been rethinking a lot of aspects of my life lately,...
all photo’s by Joop A week or two ago, an old friend from my college time asked me if I wanted to go to the Elf Fantasy Fair with him. We went together a couple of years ago, when I was more in...
I love that photo on the right of my newest bracelet design. We were trying to come up with a way of showing this bracelet which did not include reaching out to nature. I had just baked these insanel...
Last year, around this time, I was getting ready to move to this wonderful place I call home now. I was excited about the little garden I was going to have and the things I would plant in it. I took ...
Two new pieces in the shop! Some lovely lace earrings for a fairytale feast (or, you know, a dinner party) and a Spring necklace with a beautiful leaf and some mint green beads to put it off balance....
Drinking a pink smoothie/shake outside to enjoy the sunshine for a bit. I actually get pretty stressed out when the weather is nice, because I feel like I should go enjoy it immediately, though obvio...
A while ago I was playing around with these lovely mint green beads and when I combined them with this coral lace, I immediately thought of my good friend Rebecca. Mint and coral are some of her favo...
So, it’s been a little quiet around here lately. I must say I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and that don’t make for the prettiest pictures. What does, is a little bit of sunshine....
When Rebecca tagged me for this “11 things” thing, the first thing I thought was: “Oh no, this is going to take forever!”. This post might have never seen the light of day, if...
If you follow me on twitter, you’ll know by now that I have the flu. I haven’t been sick in a long time, and it took some getting used to. I kept thinking that I could somehow still do st...
The day started off right with a run (it’s my new thing, I can last a whole minute!), followed by breakfast, yoga class and a long shower. I decided I would spend the rest of day making new jew...

Last week, this post by Lois reminded me of how much I love reading posts where bloggers share a little something about themselves. So, here’s one of my own! For a long time, I thought I didn...
all photo’s courtesy of their respective owners (see below) I really thought I’d already had my quarter-life crisis, but I suppose I’ll life to see 108. Maybe it’s just this d...
all photo’s by Joop You can tell Joop made these photo’s, because the only actual cup in this photo is filled with coffee. I on the other hand drank cup after cup of tea. It was the best ...
Sigur Rós, Rock Werchter, 2008 Yesterday, as I was driving to meditation class, I put on a Sigur Rós’ album in a futile attempt to quiet my mind. It took me back to the time I saw them perform ...
all photo’s by Joop (except the one of Joop) Yesterday afternoon it started snowing ever so softly. Slowly but steadily, a white layer started to appear on the ground. I crawled into the couch ...
“Keep your faith in beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the Spring when it is gone.” - Roy R. Gibson A free desktop background for this cold month called February, which we...
Good advice from my tea. Drawing. Being too lazy to put away the Christmas ornaments. Using my windowsill to display pretty cards. A reminder of last fall. New shoes in the snow. Two things I haven...
These cookies are sooo good, I just had to share. I usually make these with cranberries, but I was craving a taste of summer and substituted them for pineapple cubes. It’s a great combination w...
The word for last weeks re:frame post was DREAM. I had a pretty clear idea of what kind of photo I wanted to shoot. So, like every week for the past eight weeks, I told Joop what I wanted to do and a...
These little beauties feature stones from the mineral magnesite, a gorgeous white mineral with delicate grey spots. I’ve added them to my shops today! SHOP // NL SHOP // ETSY Also, we booked ou...
I took this photo of the sky on my walk last Saturday. Can you spot the elephant? Really needing a new desktop background, I used this photo to make one myself by simply turning the sky mint green (m...
Joop showed me this video today and I absolutely love it. To be able to go on these incredible hikes, to really have such a landscape in your backyard, is something we really want. It’s one of ...
Today was one of those catch-up days, were we had to run a lot of errands and do a huge pile of dishes. You know, the things that you don’t get around to during the week. Unfortunately, by the time w...
My “Brilliant Bow” earrings are now also available in warm grey. I love this sweet design and thought it would be nice to be able to choose a softer color. You can purchase them in my sho...
all photo’s courtesy of their respective owners (see below) As I was looking through my recent favorites on Etsy, I noticed the presence of the color blue. When I was little, blue was my favori...
