2 Anemone girls
It has been a while but #2flowergirls is back! This flower challenge by Elodie & Inga is always so much fun and really challenges me to play around with flowers. And it's also very nice to see all the other contributions on Pinterest. As you can see above, our cats are never far when I Read article…
Plog it!
Hello, goodmorning! This week has been so weird: I wish I would have plogged it to understand why it has been so weird. Yes that's the "new" phenomenon: to photo blog your entire day. Dutch blog icon 10e introduced the term "plog". I think it's pretty cool (and time consuming) to see what someone does Read article…
The Recollection Antwerp
I love shops where it's not only about products, but also about styling and creating a unique setting.

Gradient berries
A few days ago on one of my runs, my eyes caught a glimpse of bright pink in the bushes along the path. Wow: gradient berries! Or what they are usually called: pokeweed or Phytolacca americana. Their pink stems are so bright, the calyces look like LEGO flowers and their berries have the most beautiful 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…
