End of the year

Here it is again...the end of the year! The end of 2012 seems like yesterday to me...

Every year more and more, i'm surprised for how fast time goes!

 

Here in Belgium the weather brings no Christmas-feelings at all, it's too warm and it's dark, very windy and wet now and then... Luckily the christmastree, candles & fireplace are giving us a touch of winter-joy!

 

I wanted to wish all my blog readers lots of fun the coming days and ofcourse all the best for 2014!!

I'll do my best to post a bit more on my blog... shame on me for this year...

 

Here's a letter i wrote to Fiona and some Christmas pictures to end this year.

Have fun all of you and keep it safe!

See you next year :)

 

 

 

 

 

Best wishes

Wishing you all a wonderful christmas evening and a 2013 filled with happiness and joy....
See you next year! xxx

A little giveaway...

We're almost december, the biggest presents-month of the year, so i think that deserves a little giveaway!

 

I'm a fool for these wooden christmas decorations, i keep buying them in the thriftstore. Somehow these little dolls cheer me up and i get really excited if i find a special one.

I figured since i've got so many of them it would be nice to share some.

 Therefore a little giveaway!

You'll get the ones that are on the first 2 pictures but i'll add some more, let's say around 15 happy faces :)

 

Want to take a chance? Simply leave a comment, that's all!

I'll pick a winner on tuesday 11th of december...

 

Goodluck!

 

* Edit: this giveaway is open for everyone! No matter where you live...

 

 

 

 

About a late christmas gift...

Who needs christmasgifts in december if you can get one in the middle of summer?

It's something Mina & i agree on, it's christmas all year long! Haha :)

So last week i felt a bit in a christmasmood when i received her parcel from the mailman!

A beautiful box with an owl pattern filled with yummy chocolate, the little ones i don't dare to eat yet, they're so beautiful in their lovely papers...

Mina also made me some lavender sachets in her enveloppe design! I really like those, and they smell so good, a bit of the Provence in my closet!

And then there was also the gorgeous scarf boyfriend gave me for my birthday! It's made by Mina, and i absolutely love it! The fabric, the print, the way it's made... a bit of Mina with me everywhere i go :-)

Check out her shop for more nice handmade beauties!

And ofcourse there was a letter, a long letter! I enjoyed reading it with a good cup of tea. And now i better get my christmas parcel ready...

Best wishes..

I'm wishing you all a wonderful Christmas evening filled with love, friendship & lots of pretty gifts!! Oh and not to forget: yummy food!

Bf & i are off to Budapest tomorrow, i'm really looking forward to that!

And also, it's only a week to go to the big gifts-evening my best friend & myself have planned on new year's eve!! A whole year we've searching for little/ pretty/ funny/ old/ selfmade/.../ gifts! So you can imagine we're both getting pretty excited about it now :)

Oh and for the creative souls: i'm still looking for some people to play 'Craft it forward' with!!

In the meanwhile...

* I'm in a Christmas-mood, searching for fitting presents for the right people & preparing gifts.
* Looking forward to our Lisbon-trip, my favourite city!
* I'm quite excited about the autumn gift swap Mina's organising... and i can't wait to see what everyone will make for eachother!
* My little friend Lowie came over for a visit ♥
* I have the day off today and i'm about to go have lunch with 2 friends, chat the afternoon away!



Have a good wednesday! Here it's a sunny one :)

Christmas mood!

Okay, maybe it's a bit too early but i really can't help it!! I'm in a christmas mood!!!
I don't know if it's the weather, or maybe this nice lady who's having a Christmas card giveaway.... or is it my german friend , who wants to organise this handmade autumn gift swap? (creative peeps please go check her blog and read about it...maybe some of you want to participate as well?)


I'm already looking forward lots to the yearly vintage-christmasgifts-evening with my friend Cy, for sure one of the highlights last year!! We're both searching for fitting presents all year long and now that THE day is coming closer again i'm getting pretty excited....

Happy mail

Mina & myself, we've got this weird habit of sending eachother xmas-parcels in the middle of the year! It's becoming quite a habit and i think it would be so weird if presents actually arrived on time for once :)
So last week i celebrated a bit of xmas after the postman surprised me with this box, decorated with a cloud and birds... i mmediately knew where that box came from!
What was inside made me so happy, the beautiful gifts and a letter to guide me through them...
Oh how i will enjoy the chocolate, the beautiful music, another cute little doll and this amazing selfmade bag!!! It's so wellmade i'm afraid to use it... and totally my style! Think polkadots & russian dolls!! Yay!
Parcels like these brighten up my day & now it's my turn cause Mina's still waiting for her xmas-gifts... Oh my!

And what an exciting day this is.... we're september the 13th!! Today is THE day my friend Cy is supposed to give birth to Boelie Woelie!! I've been running around like a crazy one since yesterday cause i'm really nervous now in her place!
Auntie Vie is waiting!! Hurry little one :)

Happy 2011!

Wishing you all the very best for next year....

I had a great ending of the year yesterday with my bestie, and lots of presents!! All little vintage treasures which we both love so much... I might show those next year but here's the beautiful tree with the presents for now. I'm looking forward already to the next presents-swap ;-)

Have fun you all tonight.....

Joy...

Wishing you all lots of joy, goodluck & happy times!

Merry Christmas!

Wintermood
