Kingsday Free Market Sale

Last Saturday was The Netherlands' first ever Kingsday! And, just as we did with the previous two Queensdays, we joined the free market in our hometown Vlaardingen. We had been working incredibly hard - making an enormous supply of jewelry (which explains why we haven't been very active on our blog recently...), designing and printing new cards*, and moving around all kinds of furniture to display our items properly. Add that up to the fact that we had to get up at 5 in the morning to find ourselves a nice spot, and you can understand it was quite an exhausting day ;) 

Food of the Future?

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I were invited to a home-made dinner with his family and the idea was that all couples had to prepare one dish. We decided to prepare a chocolate fondue for dessert, but since we wanted to shock and impress a little bit, we wanted to add a special element instead of just fruits and cakes: ... locusts. 

Tea with a Story

Last Tuesday my two sisters and I went to a hotel with a view on the harbour river in our hometown to have a great high tea. They served a tower full of different kinds of sweet and savory treats like scones, sandwiches, brownies, small quiches and more. With that we could drink as much tea as we wanted. The tea is exactly the thing that I wanted to share with you, because we loved the way it was presented.

Personal - Etsy Pastel

Normally we present our inspirational quotes ('Words of Wisdom') on Wednesday, but today we feel like showing you something else, which is just as pretty to look at. In our last Friday's Fabulous Photos we showed you our love for pastel colours by a lovely photo collage. Because we were getting so happy about it, we also collected all our favourite pastel coloured items on Etsy and put them together in a new Treasury list. If this sweet and cheerful collection doesn't cause the spring fever...
