One week ago I was here: at the Stilleben shop in Copenhagen. It was on top of my must-visit list, after visiting their former shop a few years ago. They were launching their new Memphis tableware collection and throwing a little party. Yay! In Scandinavia people take their ceramics very seriously. In all the homes Read article…

A yellow surprise
Nothing makes me more curious in a city than open doors. I love peeking behind them to see what's going on: how people live, where they work and simply discover what's going on behind the pretty façades. When I spotted this classy grey staircase in the city center of Copenhagen, the bright yellow glow called Read article…
No more Danish pastries
Hi! I'm back from a short trip to Denmark and Sweden. I said goodbye to clear blue skies (and a few clouds), salty air, sweet friends, delicious Danish pastries and lots of Scandinavian style. But I brought home lots of pictures and a few hotspots to share with you in the upcoming days and weeks. Read article…
Off to Copenhagen and Malmö
After an entire summer in France, I'm flying to Copenhagen today! I visited Copenhagen during our Scandinavian roadtrip two years ago and at the time I liked it even better than Stockholm and Oslo. After exploring Stockholm earlier this year, I can't wait to see more of Copenhagen, indulge in Danish pastries and meet up Read article…
My first giveaway
Today I'm hosting my fist ever giveaway! But, not on my own blog. As you may know, especially if you follow me on instagram, I started running in June… and I became addicted. I discover new things in my neighborhood and I feel so much fitter! Currently I pick blackberries on my runs and enjoy Read article…
Raray Random
Did you have a nice weekend? Here in the Oise we enjoyed a super sunny Saturday and decided to visit a random place. Along one of the roads leading to our place, is a sign that points to a castle where we had never been. We Google Streetviewed the sign, tried to see what it Read article…
My honeydew
Remember I had big plans, like growing watermelons and honeydews to make ice cream this summer? Well, the plan was nice, but the heatwave and hail storms didn't do any good to my little garden. The only plant in full force is the honeydew plant. It's huge! I grew it in our greenhouse in the Read article…
What about orange?
What about the color orange? Do you like it? I'm particularly biased. I guess it has to do with the country where I grew up: Holland. Once a year, on King's Day, the entire country turns orange. People dress in orange, eat orange pastries, drink orange beer and homes are decorated in orange. And if Read article…
A floating hospital
When I told you that I'm fan of the weekend, I didn't know what the weekend had in store for us. Turns out I'm not a big fan of this past weekend. Even though I had lots of fun and was surrounded by my favorite people, it was also very stressful and included a visit Read article…
Not a fan fan
The title says it all: I'm not particularly fond of electric fans. But as we are in the middle of a heatwave here in France, we need them. Our home has no windows, only 2 doors and the outer walls are made of glass, so we almost live in some sort of greenhouse. We try Read article…
