Happy Long Weekend!

I’d like to wish each and every reader out there, well friend really, a wonderful long weekend! I say long because in the U.S. it is our 4th of July holiday and though I live abroad I still keep very much to the holiday schedule back home so for me this means a long weekend. I’ll be back to blogging again on Tuesday, July 5th.

Have a nice weekend!

Have a nice weekend!

I wish you a lovely weekend – I’ll be playing around in my craft studio, decorating my work room, and taking some photographs for Dutch magazine 101 Woonideeën who will publish photos of my work room in an upcoming issue along with a four page interview about my life and book that one of their editors just had with me while I was visiting Amsterdam. I’m very excited to see how it comes out and I can’t wait to show you. A big thanks to Janneke Romijn for setting this interview up in the first place.

    I love these images you’ve posted. They make me happy. I have been warming up lately to more colorful decor and especially “girly” colors. In the past I never much cared for pink or pastels, but suddenly I’m drawn to them!

    Unfortunately I have to work tonight and tomorrow, but I’ll have the 3rd and 4th off which will be nice! See you Tuesday!

    Happy long 4th holiday! This is my first time commenting, after years of observing and having the wind taken right out of me each time. Thank you for this blog! I was wondering if you knew anything about the little, white bunny in the last photo? Funny thing: I’ve been looking for something just like this for my bedroom, and… my bedroom looks much like these photos! Rather than sitting atop fabric, it would sit atop vintage, family quilts. I’m looking for something small, white and totally zakka. thank you.

  17. 17 Renata commented:
