This week new in the shop the lace necklace Made by l e n n e b e l l e. The necklace is sterling silver and 60 cm/ 23,6 inches long. Ofcourse you can choose the colour of the tassel yourself! It comes nicely giftwrapped in a small cotton bag. Lovely to wear with upcoming christmas!

And next week I will do my first give away so keep checking A little hamster regulary!

Found this pretty blog ‘FROKEN O‘ via Mila from Loveology! Scrolling through all these amazing photos is addictive! I am longing for a house like this, one with different wallpaper in every room!

Recently I started a painting course with some friends! Starting with coffee, cookies and some gossip we end up zipping wine and discussing the results! The first subject was a cactus still life and we moved on to a lemon, orange, waterglass still life.  It is so much fun and sometimes you get suprised by the artistic results!

I took these photo’s with my new camera which I got for my birthday! So happy to have a digital camera in my handbag again!

Exploring the internet on a daily basis makes you come across all these creative, inspiring people and their works. Here you can splurge yourself in all the beauty bloggers have to offer!

This time some Dutch designers!

Could not resist posting this yummy breakfast I had at the Rose Bakery in Montmartre Paris! The Rose Bakery is this fun place which reminded me of my favourite place in Rotterdam ‘Proef‘ which I miss so much since it moved to Amsterdam.

Look what I got in the mail last week!! I thought how nice it would be when somebody I admire for what she does would wear some of my creations! So I contacted Wende Snijders managment and they were so kind to give one of my necklaces to Wende! Just to wish her luck with her N° 9 tour and cd!

And this very creative and personal written message from Wende herself I found in my mailbox when we got back from Paris!

I just watched the movie Julie & Julia! It got me totaly inspired!  I love cooking but never seem to take really the time to do it. I love flipping through cookbooks, especially the ones with the mouthwatering photos in it!

My favourite is this cookbook by famous writer Roald Dahl! He loved to cook and to eat ofcourse. All the photos in the book look like still lifes. I read the whole book with nice anekdotes about family and friends and famous visiters eating at Dahls’ table and recipies from rosepetal sorbet to royal dog snacks (for real!). I never tried a recipe but will do this upcoming sunday! Something that needs to simmer for hours and hours on the stove!

I will make Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon and Roald Dahls‘ ‘Liccy’s (his wife) always succeeding crunchy roasted potatoe pie’ with it!

(take a look at Roald Dahls fun website, you can not but love Quinten Blakes illustrations! and watch these cooking lessons by the real Julia Child ‘The French Chef’)

Last weekend was fabulous! Everything I imagined it to be! At 0.00 the 14th with a bottle of champagne at the Eifel tower to celebrate my 30st birthday was just perfect!

* Enjoy the upcoming weekend as much as I did mine in Paris! *
