Do you have good intentions for the next year?

Take your time to make good intentions!

Write the good intentions in a little note book

such as the ones below:

in which you take a look once a day.

Many intentions will come true!

post-it holders, note cards, please visit

My good intentions are:

to make a good start

with my bijoux store

to make nice

lavender sachets and

lovely pillows

to take long walks

to read many more good books

and
to inspire many people with my blog

                                 

Kijkduin near The Hague! A little seaside resort!

There are some nice shops and a lot of

 restaurants at Kijkduin!

You can eat pancakes, 'poffertjes',

all sorts of fish,

Italian pizza and also Chinese food.

And you can (of course) make

 a long walk along the seashore!

Marlena de Blasi - That summer in Sicily!

 Almost a fairytale, Marlena de Blasi takes us with her on a trip to Sicily, telling in her inimitable style fascinating stories of love, landscape, aristocratic romances and food.

Green parakeet!

The bird is green with a red beak!

At the moment there live some 10.000 to

12.000 green parakeets in

the Netherlands. They live especially

in the citys, because there they can

easily get some winter food.

Old coffee grinder! Oud koffiemolentje!



Old coffee grinder, 1960!

I pour a little bit of coffee beans in the small cover and then I grind the beans. What remains in the small tray is delicious fresh ground coffee.
After I have cleaned the grinder of course.
