This weekend I was lucky I got to go to Sophia’s (friend, soon businesspartner (!!) and fellowblogger) birthday (I was supposed to work) and as always it was lovely! In an empty room of the house where she lives we had a lovely sunday afternoon high tea picnic with home baked cheesecake, chocolatetart and scones, homemade soup, couscous salade and much more. And of course everything was styled so pretty. We were sitting on a huge selfmade picnic rug under handsewn garlands.

Check out her photos at Sobinique and photos from her house were recently published on Decor8!!

This made my heart jump a little today! I found these photos by illustrator Anja Mulder via Slowlane Notes. I love her styling and overall atmosphere and of course the collage photos (more here) she makes!

I will definitly keep track on her blog & Flickr!

For a friend I made a party dress for her housewarming party. The deal was that I would get 4 old but fantastic chairs because mine (from my great grandmother) are falling apart. When I finished the dress she gave me this wonderfull cookbook ‘Festive recipies’. This cookbook is delicious in every sense. The recipes are yummy , the styling is great and the photography is beautiful.

Besides this cookbook being pretty I always find it important that the recipies are easy to make, not time consuming and that the ingredients are simple to get and that’s what this cookbook is all about. It is only published in Dutch and French.

Just a little bit more Studio IJm. I could not help myself. I had still so many photos left.

Besides all the pretty details in Studio IJm they also had a yummy and very cosy kitchen where ‘chef’ Marlein was making the perfect lunch with lettuce soup and later tea with ovenbaked cookies filled cranberries and plums. We totally got spoiled over there! Marlein also has a cookbook and I can understand why!

More pink skirts for this summer! I love these images by Lieke Roomijs.

The trans-atlantic travel before exploring Asia this year was South-America with my dear friend Kim discovering Bolivia and Peru. Still when I watch all of our photo’s I am amazed by all the beauty! These are a few of my favourites and there are so much more!

Traveling is just amazing but you also leave something behind. Being away now for almost three months makes me want to hug our Jack!

I loved this kitchen in my old appartment. I think I did the best cooking ever in here! And isn’t it nice to have a view outside while doing the disches. My favourite dish is a very dutch stew ‘Andive mash with bacon’.

What is yours?

Four creative friends exchanging objects and photographing their personal collections resulted in these beautiful images. This little project was initiated by Echoes; a collaborative journal. This is one of their older projects check the site for their recent works.

Just came across this really nice blog; Backyard Bill. Very inspiring people and what they wear. It’s a little bit like my favourite fashion blog; The Sartorialist but different. These people seem to care less about fashion but look great and ofcourse amazing photography.
