Holiday

A quick Instagram-hello to keep this blog a little bit alive...
Bf & i are enjoying 2 weeks off work, no holiday trip this time but instead a lot of day trips in Belgium. And they are good fun as well, especially in this nice summer weather.
Flea markets are everywhere and i found some nice things, a lot of postcards and wooden figures for my collections!

Finally also some time to write back to some people who have been waiting for a while...
And more mail of mine arrived here and here.

From my full shopping bag on Etsy i managed to choose some new pretty tapes!
There's a mt tape expo in Singapore right now, wish i could attempt some of the workshops..
(and buy some more pretty tape ;-) )

I'm off again! Enjoying outside life some more...
Ohhh and some days ago, suddenly a cat appeared in our garden, friendly right from the start!
I think he's here to stay, he behaves like he has always been here and comes for cuddles all the time...
So we're back to 4 cats!

 

Have a wonderful week!

 

 

Fleamarket finds

I'm so happy the outside fleamarket season is here again, lots more good bargains to find and outside is just  more fun than the dusty often smelly inside locations..
These are some finds of last sunday, i'm so happy with the Pinokkio! Maybe you can't really tell from the picture but he's quite big, and i just love his long nose!
All the wooden puzzles pieces are ready to turn into magnets and ofcourse i had to buy these postcards :)


The book was a present from friends, it's full with nice DIY-ideas. 'Fabriek Romantiek' was originally a tv program i liked to watch.

Can you believe it's almost summer? I for one can't! It's almost my birthday again and i wonder where those last 12 months have gone to?? And on top of that it looks like autumn outside....

Vide grenier finds from France

Here are the treasures i found in France at the vide greniers. All for nice small prices, even the very old set with tarot cards from B.P. Grimaud! I looked it up and it's from 1890! We bought it for 50 cents, good catch!

. vintage pot, i put a plant in it & placed it outside

. the old tarot cards and 3 other sets, and that wooden mailbox! LOVE it!

. an old bingo game

. a wooden stack tower and 2 wooden pulltoys

. some childrens books, i already had the owl version of these

. pepper & salt, aren't these cuties?

. and a bunch of old postcards for my collection..

Already looking forward to more vide greniers in France, they're the best!

On this sunday

On this sunday,

Hope you all had a good one...
