I have of course been buying all the possible interior magazine, since the December issues are always my favourite. Full of ideas and I usually keep these issue, which means I have got old christmas magazines, lovely!
I just can't get enough of the food presented, the cosy interiors. Especially the british magazines are so good at this.
At home I have started to add a little touch here and there. I have to be careful, since we have first St. Nicolas on December 5th, but I do that mainly for our son, secretly I can't wait for it to be over, so we can move on to the serious feast, Christmas.
I have even got a blu ray version of the Christmas Carol this year (I know, I know....) since that movie is a must during the Christmas holidays.
After December 6th I can let go and fully indulge in decoration....still a bit of patience.
have a nice week everybody!
It's been quite a while since I didn't blog, but time flies and a million other things have happened and kept me occupied. Here, autumn has started, which so far has meant lots of rain and chilly wind.
I have been burning non stop candles in the evening, to keep the house warm and cosy looking, an extra plaid and now I am thinking if I should change the pillows for the winter to come.
I ordered lately these lovely little candleholder houses, don't you think they are wonderful? I can't wait for them to arrive....
Our garden is also in a pitiful state, which means I will have to tend to it soon, in order to make it ready for winter.
wish you all a wonderful Sunday,

We are leaving for Sardinia and coming back in 10 days. We need some rest, sun and Italian food, to lift our spirits and give
us some new energy.
Hope you are all enjoying your holiday or if you have already returned, hope you had a good time.
Take care!
Sundays used to be my least favourite day of the week, the feeling the weekend was over. Since a few years, I realize that they are perfect for just hanging around and enjoy the fact that you can do your 'house things' and prepare a nice dinner.
Shops are open on sundays near my city here, and I can even choose to do my shopping on Sundays, quite practical if you receive guests for dinner and need last minute ingredients!
The sun hasn't shown himself so much lately, but I keep the summer feeling with some lovely lavender here and there, and I found this small bird for in my garden, isn't it charming?
Soon, in 2 weeks we'll go for holiday to Italy, can't wait. Until then, I enjoy the more homely things.
I did my first 'decorating project' around age 10. I was always moving furniture in my room, than in my teens painting the walls and spending my pocket and babysitting money on furniture and tissues instead of going out.
Even when I was pregnant, I was still pushing the sofa's, putting up the Christmas tree when I was 2 weeks from my due date (considering I took 23 kilo's that was quite a challenge!!) and just enjoying my home.
This weekend I have been ordering and less decorating, since my husband and I are in two, our son is a few days with the grandparents, so we wanted to use this time to really clean up a bit!
I am happy with the result, some fresh flowers, toys in the baskets, fresh linen and it feels great.
Now, my only thought left is: what colour curtains should I get for our bedroom...? To be continued....
have a great week!

Just to say that we are going to France for a few days, to visit the in-laws and to enjoy some shopping and good food...
It's even warmer there than here, so packing is well, light. (although I always end up with more than I need, because I am a 'what if' person...)
Take care and enjoy your weekend!
