.... time is just slipping away
a bit of sand under my feet
when we went to a park in the eastern part of town
...just love sandy paths


loved an love to see him free styling
... it was magical when i was a kid
all the boys did an attempt at doing the moonwalk
the girls kept kind of quiet about it

so looking forward
to going to the farmers' market tomorrow
for mushrooms.. flowers ...

it's called the noordermarkt
for those of you who'd like
to visit some time

wishing you a lovely weekend









something old something new


not spending much made me
more focused on
what to buy and what not

and enjoying the things i already have

like this soap bar
... such a lovely color










... tried out some leftover mushrooms
this weekend
it would be nice to go to a forest in autumn
to pick them myself


i was kind of struggling with the cotton scarves
because cotton is much harder to dye than wool
but i've found a way to make them look
just as nice as the woolen ones


hope your days are sunny
amsterdam is doing the rain-sun-rain theme
