party in an envelope!

I'll try to fit all this into one envelope...

packing my favourite things

my new notebook

lovely music

favourite pens

the little camera

I think I'm ready!

countdown

three...two...one

my holiday starts...NOW!

random bits from last week

A belated birthday card: I love this colour combination!

New notebook, almost too pretty to use...

Mail from Sam Spina!

This sunday

I'm still facing my huge to-do list

but also noticed this plant looks like a jungle!

Well, sort of...

one sad story

This mitten lost his brother.

Somewhere outside there's another red mitten lying in the snow, all alone.

Heartbreaking. If you find him, give me a call!

see you next year!

Everything is ready for tonight:
movies, yummy food and a boyfriend :D

Happy new year everyone!

oh no!

My favourite bag is falling apart, so sad.

a great way to start your day

Give me something to eat, a cup of coffee and Uppercase Magazine

and I'm pretty much satisfied!

some autumn love

It's true!

Not sure if I can say this very loud,

but I think autumn is much better than summer...

feeling blue?

A collection of all things blue.

sakatodesign

Last week I had a little meeting with Miho from Sakatodesign. She's a graphic designer from Tokyo, but was in Holland to visit Dutch designers for her upcoming book. And hooray, in her busy schedule their was some time to drink coffee together. Her hotel was almost near my home. Having a real conversation was a bit hard as her English wasn't that good and obviously my Japanese isn't that fluent either (haha), but with pictures, a notebook, maps and a book we'd managed. She brought me this cute gift: yummy Japanese candies and some of her stickers.

It was a bit strange and almost surreal to meet someone unknown from Japan so suddenly, but it also gave me inspiration. Her style is great, I love to browse through her blogs and she amazed me with her knowlegde of Holland. So after I dropped her at her hotel I jumped on my bike with a big smile :)

what happens when you're not doing homework

My match post-its are in heaven they aren't real matches.

Look how happy they are!

Okay to be honest, this was just an excuse to not make my homework...

meet mr. moustache

Thank you Mr. Moustache for keeping my papers together.
(it's an envelope!)

the best gift ever

Look what I got!

A cute, little, handmade cabinet and some really old sewing supplies.

I'm just in love with it <3

newest obsession

This:

a little surprise

Some time ago I read on Marilyn Patrizio's blog about her card giveaway. I really liked the design of this Art Star Craft Bazaar card so I asked if she was willing to send it to Europe. She said it was no problem and I already forgot about the whole thing till I received a very cute envelope in the mail: the ASCB card!

But hold on: to my surprise she included an extra sticker set! Yay, this totally made my day :D

take a guess!

Hmm, can you tell which bike is mine? :)

edit: aaah, my polka dot bike cap has already been stolen.
Stupid idiot who did this!
