No words

I planned a blog about books I still have to read.
But then a dear friend texted me that some terrible headline news is leaving a very big void in his live.
This news made me speechless.

Voila!

~with a french accent:~ Let me introduce you to:

 Mimmi? Coco? Amelie? Miko?

Ah, she studied ballet for years ofcourse! ~end french accent~

Had a lot of fun making this Mikodesign doll (that I've won over on Kickcan & Conkers), it really is as easy as it seems! If you can sew a straight line & a curve, you can do it!

Still have to finish her bag & her own Tour d'Eiffel.

Have a beautiful week!

Villa Augustus

So we had a great lunch at Villa Augustus! 

Loved the interior! 

Many things to see. 

Found a poem. 

Walked around the garden,

not a lot a greens yet. 

And we didn't come home empty handed.

Not in the picture are 2 books for

our boys & some more cards.

So why did my sweetheart (who, by the way, is the father of my children, just so you know :)) take me out to lunch?

Well, it's actually still a little secret, but hey, you're not gonna tell anyone, are you?

Today we took the first step to our wedding later this year! Yay!

Thinking of you.
