Marken my love.

Just bought this wonderful book "Marken" by photographer Henk van der Leeden.I'ts a place nearby where I love to walk and wonder.
I also love the rich decorated folklore clothes and fabrics from there. A real feast for the eye!

My favourite lunch

Right behind the building where I work, is the Albert Kuyp market (in Amsterdam). It is a great market to find food, fabric, clothes etc, and I love to spend my lunchtime there ofcourse. My fav restaurant for lunch is the Bazaar, where they serve food from Morocco/Turkey. I always go there when the weather is bad, because it gives me the feeling that I am on holiday in some far, exotic place. So you can imagine I've spend many, many lunch hours there, enjoying my bean soup, Turkish coffee and a good book...

Things that make me happy

My place

Some details of my home. Max's room needs an update,(he's becoming such a big boy now) so today we tried to change it from a cute toddler's room to a big boys room.
It's not finished yet but at least he's happy with the adjustments (a crocodile bed cover and a 50's bowling bench). He also wore his new blue hand-knitted socks today,his grandma made for him. He said they are "blits"...Haha, how cool is that?

It's been busy this week. TOO busy.
Now it's time to remember me again...
It's time to be quiet, and to listen.

Back!!

Aaahhh!!!
How hard it is to be back in the cold and rainy Holland. I really tried to take the sun with me, but it's only in my eyes now, not in the sky...
We stayed in Tarifa, Spain, and it felt like a tropical undetected place. A bit a weird place, but nice weird. And I love Nice Weird! For me it is a place that smells like Bali, sounds like Spain, looks like Africa/Curacao, tastes like...hmmm... heaven. Sounds quite perfect, doesn't it??
