Keeping the dream alive...

"Dickens's dream".
An unfinished painting by R.W. Buss 1872.
Showing Dickens in his study at Gads Hill Place, surrounded by creatures of his imagination.
I'm not sure if I'd rather be in one of his dreams or that I wanna dream his dreams, it both must be surreal! Always loved this painting!

Diamonds are a girls best friend!

Put ice-cold diamonds in your champagne...Very classy gadget... ;-)

Have a break,have a lunch! ;-)

Around 12 o'clock today I went for lunch with M. It was so nice to see him again! We had lunch at Christoffel, www.restaurant-christoffel.nl Great place and had some delicious 'kroketten'! I'm so crazy about 'kroketten'!
For the ones who don't know these 'kroketten'... check: www.coquinaria.nl/english/recipes/Stock/Kroket.htm

Flowers make your day!

Last week I sent this postcard to somebody, it's such a cheerful card! Today W. surprised me with a bunch of tulips in different colours! Can't wait... Let spring begin!!!

German Tigerente

I have a sort of crush on Tigerente although I sort of forgot about him. I "met" tigerente in 1996 in Germany while visiting a friend there. I immediately fell in love with this tigerduck. ;-)
I didn't think about him but recently somebody asked me what kinda postcard I would like to receive. I told E. (as he's from Germany) that I wanted to see Tigerente again and now he's back in my life...
Isn't he adorable...???
Hahaha :-)

Wanna haves! :-)

Just read that there's gonna be a presale next week, gonna try to get some of these beautiful wineglasses @ Riviera Maison!

Black out

Yesterday around 16:00 o'clock suddenly all the lights went out, the whole street was dark as the snow was still falling outside! We had a black out for about one and a half hour.... But no worries, we drank wine by candle light!
