This week I was blessed:

- to get a beautiful orchid & wonderful candles

- to just be there when (all the stress surrounding Sinterklaas resulted in?) T. had terrible nightmares

- to receive 2 beautiful bags, the first on loan from school (the poem-bag with a book full of poems) & the other from Barbara de Ru

 - have 'hide-&-seek-Pete' visit our house last night & waking up this morning by those excited, whispering voices

- to get into the real-wintery-feel with lots of tea, choclate & cookies

- by getting J.'s first schoolreport in & it's just a very good one, *proud mamma*

- to be able to help someone just for a bit

- to just sit & read a book in the train on my way to Utrecht & back (I just love the library, really, I read a book a week! Never thought that would ever happen again!)
   

Hope you all have a wonderful new week!
Keep warm!

Collection # 45

vintage Rörstrand china

My ever so slowly growing collection of Rörstrand china. I fell in love with it when I first spotted them here. Too bad I can't find them as easy & as cheap as she did though! So if you ever run in to them let me know!

To be honest I am not at my best in autumn, foggy days. But still there were things to be happy & grateful about.

- tooth number 2 already left J.'s mouth!

- toothcontainer & teeth-schedule from

Tink om us bern

- this packet of nuts a friend gave me

- the stones & pieces of tiles I

found while visiting the place my

mother-in-law was born

- this fragment my sis-in-law

found & gave to me

So it was a very mixed week that ended with a weekend together with my mother-in-law, her sisters, nieces & my sis in law.

Going back to the place where they were born.

Very grateful to hear their memories, see all those beautiful black & white photo's of their childhood in Kamp Vossenbos, to eat & laugh together.

Hope you all have a beautiful new week, with a bit more light & sunshine!

Feeling a bit stuck, indoors, dark evenings & all. This song & the feeling of being able to just fly away to vast open spaces always lifts the spirit!

Have a good weekend

Foggy day here. The weather is foggy & so am I. Normally I work on thursdays, but due to a training/course I had to switch days with husband. And it's really a totally different day to be at home! Pretty relaxed!
