SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

They are here!...the days that you wake up from the birds singing ...while the sun is shining! Yes! 

FOOD STYLING

What a lovely way of styling colorful dishes! It's so fresh & bright and the combination of food and illustration is catching. See more styling from Dietlind Wolf on her blog.

PORTE COUVERT

Very subtle and original creations from Emilie on her Griottes blog! I always had a soft spot for the kittens tree... it think it's one of the funniest things in nature!

ONE WEEK TO...VALENTINE!

CHOCOLATORANGE!

There's a cute little teahouse in Zuiderwoude, in the middle of the countryside, close to Amsterdam. It's called 'Theetuin en theeschenkerij 't Einde' where you can sit outside and enjoy the homemade pies in summertime. Yesterday the sun was out and Holland was covered in snow. It was 15C below zero! the canals were covered with a thick layer of ice and i had been taking photo's of landscapes all morning. Ice skating people on tour stopped by this place to eat peasoup by the fire. After a strole on the ice with the dogs we enjoyed a big piece of cheesecake (the dogs had a little whipped cream tasting..) And than it suddenly struck me.... we were drinking hot CHOCOLATE in an ORANGE interior! Besides having a lovely day there was no escaping making a blogpost about this cosy coincident.
