Sunday in Fall

Just wanted to wish you a wonderful Sunday!

A white oldie

Last week I bought this lovely, old kitchen scale. Isn't it pretty? 

The white and black combine perfect and it's realy a work of art.. I looked this scale up and these were made around 1900-1920 in Germany.

It was so hard finding a white kitchen scale, but I'm soooo glad I've found one! 

Have a great Sunday!

A lovely shop worth a visit #2

A while ago I saw this beautiful wooden sign saying "White Christmas", but I couldn't find it on the internet. 

I asked the blogger and she directed my to "Vintage Schmiede" on DaWanda. 

The owner, Annette, is a lovely lady who makes all kinds of vintage things by hand. 

Wooden signs with lovely sayings and pictures on it, boxes with old French advertisements and many other things.

I also saw a wooden sign with "Herbstzeit" (German for Autumn time) on it, and I would realy love that with "Herfsttijd" (Dutch for Autumn time), that was no problem, she could make that. 

I also bought a wooden sign with Homemade Pies, it's perfect for my kitchen <3. 

Please do visit her shop on DaWanda or her blog: http://vintage-schmiede.blogspot.nl/

Have a wonderful week end!

Autumn corner and doily lights

How do I love Autumn.... 
Last week I've made a little Autumn corner on my living room table. I'm still in love with baby boo pumpkins and my tiny cloche....

On Pinterest I saw this lovely idea of lace doilies around a votive candle glass. It looked so pretty and easy to make. Last thuesday my sister and I made them at home. Don't they look cute?

I decorated little glasses (the onces used for Ikea candles) and my sister a big and little glass. 

Have a wonderful sunday everybody!

My new kitchen Part II

Another part of my kitchen, this time I would like to show you the right part of the kitchen.

In Germany I found this lovely plate rack. It would look so nice on the wall and I wanted something like this for a long time. 
It had silver hooks, that looked like the top of a clothes hanger. I exchanged them for black wired French hooks, they look so much better. 

Aren't round cake racks pretty..? 

There's something about them I love.. The round wire and knowing they were used for so many cakes..

The tiny one I found last week, it has rare round supports and a little hook.  

The old box was used by a bakery to carry pies, it's about 50-60 years old. I'm so glad my mom found it. It was used by the bakery in the village my dad grew up. So it's extra special.  

Have a great Sunday!

Autumn week end..

Have a great week end!

I'll be at home, comfy on my couch with books and films... 

I LOVE the Autumn!

Pumpkin Parade

My mom and I visited a Pumpkin Parade in Hulsberg yesterday.

These farmers have a Pumpkin sale every year. 

We were overwhelmed, we had never seen so many pumpkins at the same time in lots of colors and sizes. It was amazing!

They also have lots of herbs and plants growing on they land.

In the spring we'll going back to buy flowers, plants and herbs. 

They also had white (!!) lavender, that would look so nice in my garden... <3

Lovely pumpkins

I just LOVE white pumpkins, they are so cute and match perfectly in a white home. 

My mom and I visited a Pumpkin Parade yesterday (pictures in the next topic!) and they had so many pumpkins, it was hard for us to decide which ones to take home.. Luckily they had many white pumpkins <3 The tiny Baby Boo is my favorite, a cute little ivory pumpkin.

May I introduce to you, my lovely, white pumpkins:

Welcome Autumn!

It's Autumn....

I prefer the cold, cosy days above the warm summer days, walking around the house in sweats or pyjama's in the evening, lighting candles with the smell of Autumn and decorating the house.

I started decorating this week, so I haven't got many Autumn decorations, but here's a start. 

Have a wonderful week end!

First pictures of my new kitchen..

Today I would like to show some pictures of one of my kitchen cabinets.

A little souvenire from my visit to Paris..

I love tea- and coffeepots...

Have a great sunday!

A touch of early Christmas

Finally! Today I received my first 2012 Christmas book, "A touch of France" by Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine.

It's such a treat to look through and be inspired by the lovely pictures and rooms shown in this wonderful, hard covered book that contains 160 pages visiting eight Christmas homes.  

I already decided the Christmas colors for this year; green, white, brown and antique silver. 

In which colors are you going to decorate this Christmas?

Did you also order a copy of the new JDl book?

Have a great evening!
