Lately, I have neglected my blog a bit, as I was quite busy. I am enjoying my new painting class, we have painted the outside of our house (!) which was red, and we choose an elegant, dark green to accentuate the charm of our house, dated 1925.
Fresh flowers in my livingroom and the new issue of Australian Country life made my weekend very enjoyable. (also because of the freshly baked scones I made with my son.... ) Today it't time for some ironing and laundry. My husband has been painting yesterday all day, the hallway on our second floor, completely snow white, it's beautiful and light, it doubles the look of space....
wish you all a wonderful sunday!

Dear readers, Today is my 100th post! Can you believe how many things I have been posting about and writing, writing. It's been a lot of fun.
I have done some beautiful buys for my home lately and I want to share my treasures with you all. Now the summer is coming, we can hopefully eat a bit more outside, but for the moment, the sun hasn't been showing his face a lot.... I was hoping for some candlelit dinners outside, but okay, until then, we will dine inside.
Next week they will start to paint our outside window frames, they are red (what were the previous owners thinking....) and we will paint them a dark green, which will fit with the 30's look of our home. This will bring out much more character I am hoping. I wil keep you posted of course.
have a nice end of week!

Days are flying by and there are a lot of things going on. Thursday I will start with a new course in oilpainting portraits, which I am very exited about, since I haven't painted in so long and it's one thing I am really passionate about. 
But among all the daily things, like drinking cups of coffee, running errands, doing groceries and family life, I am having silents moments in my head. Sometimes it can be a song which brings back melodies or just a picture.
Here are some pictures from my last visit at Versaille, beautiful paths, aged doors, little details that made it so special.
I wish all of you a wonderful week, and some moments of quietness.

Paris was so great, inspiring, beautiful and fun. We shopped and visisted museums, we walked through wonderful streets and ate delicious food. It seems that in every corner you can find something interesting.
The Musée Carnavalet was really interesting, telling the history of Paris, Versailles was great like always and we saw the exposition 'Fastes de Cour'.
What I loved most, is that you can just find anywhere a beautiful corner or garden to quietly sit or read, I miss that from my city a bit.
I also loved coming home again, after some days of being just the 2 of us, it was wonderful seeing our little 3 year old, who was holidaying with his grandparents.
So for now, I will say goodbye to the great macarons, people keeping taxi doors open for you, so long to the Rue Royale and to the good and delicous food, to incredible museums....we are back invigorated and full of new energy.
Take good care girls!
