Painting again......

Finally the new door was ready to be painted white (and how beautiful white can be) so that's what I did today....

I bought a CanDo Calgary door about two months ago, but because of the operation it had to wait.

But now that I'm feeling better and have more energy I first painted the door post taupe last week.....

..... and today the door itself ! = )

I love to paint and wallpaper (with help from my sweet mom) and everything looks new when you give your home a "little make-over"... don't you guys agree ?? ; )

And the last time I did it was more then 10 years ago, so it was about time, haha =P

I have lots more to paint and I still need to wallpaper two walls, but we will get there one step at a time.

A bit of painting.... rest... paint some more.... rest again.... etc, etc..... ; )

Sometimes you're in luck.......

Sometimes you're in luck..... I was on my way to the shops when I saw this "old" coal-scattle complete with poker, shovel and a coaltong standing on the street ready to be picked up by the garbage man !!

Luckily I know the people who put the coal-scattle out on the street, so I went to the door... rang their door bell and ask them if they were really trowing the coal-scattle away.

(just making sure, haha)

And they were... so now it's mine ! = )

As you know love "old" stuff (brocante) so I'm really happy, like I said sometimes you're in luck ; )

Beautiful little gift.....

A beautiful little gift from a friend.... warms your soul ! = )

Looks perfect next/underneath the white bouquet

I bought on Monday ; )

I just love the little white pearl drops (stones) on the bottom of the glass yar, it just gives it that final touch.

By the way I entered the seaside creation in the TOMIC challenge...

Magnolia Edwin & Tilda a day at the seaside......

It's a rainy day today but not in Magnolia land where Edwin and Tilda went to the seaside to do some fishing.

I don't think the fish want to bite by the look on Edwin's face ; )

Now this creation isn't really finished, because I know I have a little glass jar with a cork... like these

but I have to find them first, hèhè.... =P I want to place it next to Edwin and place two fish bones in it... as a joke that the only thing he finds are fish bones and not one fish, haha.

This because Edwin looks a bit bored ; )

I placed real sand and some lace as seafoam that hits the shore

In the back you see a fish on a clothespeg where you can place for example a little card or a little envelope with some birthday money.

Tilda comes over to help Edwin and brought some sandwiches for lunch

White bouquet..... so simple but so beautiful !

How a simple white bouquet can be so beautiful !

Just went to the florist for a new bouquet and saw this beuatiful bouquet, thought I would share it with you guys on this strange windy, rainy and from time to time sunny day ; )

My dream house

copyright Ad Bakker

In my previous message I was dreaming about a ginger cat called Dikkie Dik or Ginger the "je-weet-wel" (the "you-know-what"... he's fixed) cat, a Siamese cat called Loedertje and a dachshund called Lotje. They all would have their own bowl from Riviera Maison, haha... but I forgot my dreams house !!

And this is it, it's near where I really live and it's such a sweet little house with water at the back of the house, with a little garden and even a place for bunnies (I also love bunnies) to run around in... I always have loved it since I was a kid and I still do ; )  Now I don't have real pictures of this house, maybe one day I will go up their and ask the people who live there for permission or not and take pictures without them knowing, haha =P On the place where this house was built was an old water mill at first.....

...... things have changed a bit haven't they ; )

But the house has a little replica of the water mill on it's "roof", if you look closely you can see it in the drawing which was made by a very nice man called Ad Bakker, he makes gorgeous art work and is so talented I think ! = )

Anyways you don't have to guess with which "brand" I would decorate my dream house.... hmmmm !?!? =P

Now I have no idea what the price is for a house like this (maybe I don't want to know, haha) but I can still dream, right !? ; )

My first cup of coffee since the operation = )

Ohhh how life can be sweet..... I had my first cup of coffee since the operation and it tasted fantastic ! = )

And I can even eat chocolate again, hmmmmm..... heavenly =P

By the way the new collection by Riviera Maison is out now and I saw this picture on their website....

a lovely range of cat & dog products, just wish this very cute kitty was for sale haha ; )

I just love a ginger kitty and call him Dikkie Dik after the Dutch ginger cat on Sesame Street or the "you know what" cat in Jan Jans en de kinderen, in that case can I get a Loedertje and a Lotje as well, hahaha

Lotje - Rode Kater - Loedertje

So that would look something like this.....

And all have their own Riviera Maison bowl, hahaha.... oh well a girl can dream right !? =P

By the way I still like to read the comic "Jan Jans en de kinderen" in the Dutch magazine called Libelle at my moms ; )
