Thank you 2010!

I want to thank 2010 for it's wonderful, inspirational, fun and lovely year! To start this blog was a good idea! :) Wish you all a very HAPPY 2011!

Home Made, mjam!

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas weekend with a lot of fun! We had a white christmas, Joehoe! Very beautiful! And there were some little presents under the tree as well. One I want to share with you.... Cookbook HOME MADE, written by Yvette van Boven. Based in both Paris and Amsterdam, she works as an illustrator, food stylist and recipe writer. She works for many magazines, newspapers or brands. Her cookbook: HOME MADE was awarded as Dutch cookbook of the year! I am so happy with this great book :-)

Merry Christmas

I am having a very little Sjoe Sjoe break for the next few days. Still need to do some nice christmas shopping and of course the cooking mjam! I want to wish you all a very happy, cosy and unforgettable christmas! See you next week again, for some last 2010 posts -x-

Snow snow snow

I made plans for this friday evening, but it snooooows in the Netherlands. And that means there is nothing else you can do expect being at home with a big pot of tea and a good movie... or write a "winterish" post for you. Or... cut some paper in snowflakes! So grap yourself a scissor and white paper and give your window a snowy present! Have a happy weekend!

I love Paris

About 8 years ago I have lived in Paris for a few months, it was so lovely to be there! And every time when I see a nice Paris picture or piece of art I am thinking about that wonderful time. I found this in the Bloesem gift guide. To me this really shows how you can feel in Paris! Dreaming away with a tarte du framboise and balloons in the air. It is made by Irene Suchocki, find this and more on Etsy. 

Sky of dresses

A while ago I saw Schradinova in the Kleine Komedie! It was great, I left the building with a BIG big big smile. Janne Schra is one of my favourite Dutch artists at the moment. She was the lead vocalist of Room Eleven, but renewed herself. She has a lovely voice and always wears the most beautiful dresses.

The theater stage "sky was filled with her dresses, so nice! I would love to have a sky like that on cloudy rainy days like today...

Lovely smiling vegetables

Just wanted to share this picture with you... I made this present for Sinterklaas evening. Vegetables with smily faces, it was so much fun to do! You need a bunch of colourful felt, some fiberfill and a knitting machine. Easypeasy!

Butterflies under my tree...?

Dear Santa, I like these beautiful butterflies of Oeuf very, very, very, much. And I am going to put them on my christmas wishlist, just so you know! :-)

Beautiful lights

Yesterday we received the new KEKmama... and we were very excited by seeing these beautiful lamps! And even more excited that we actually can buy them very easy on the internet, Yippie!

Donna Wilson

Last friday I was very busy with my last Sinterklaas shopping when I bumped into the beautiful products of Donna Wilson. Originally from Scotland, Donna runs a studio in London. Her hardworking team knit, sew, pack and send out products around the world. On her site  you will find ceramics, furnishing and textile products. Have a look your self!

Happy Sinterklaas

I want to wish you all a great Sinterklaas weekend.

With at least one nice beautiful present!

Some funny poems and chocolate letters,

Just make a lot of fun with friends, nothing else matters!

See you this weekend with a nice post about Donna Wilson.

Today I saw a few products of her, love it, so pretty well done!
