It’s time for a little update of the garden! We’ve had an unusual summer in terms of the weather. Lots of rain and little sunshine or heat. Some parts of Belgium had to deal with an extreme flood and there’s so much damage. Our climate is really changing due to the global warming and it…
An inspiring quote at the beginning of summer, laced with the scent of sweet roses. I would like to share the following text of Gunilla Norris from her beautiful novel ‘A mystic garden’. It’s titled ‘Blooming’ which seems quite appropriate at this first day of summer, don’t you think?! ‘The roses are glorious, opening, opening,…
There has so much happened in the garden since I’ve written my last garden blogpost. It’s like there has been an explosion of green! It’s so soothing for my eyes and soul to drink in all this growth and green. I really missed this during the winter months. So be prepared for a real green…
Once upon a time I took a small pathway into a forest called “Hallerbos”. This path led me deep into the forest along green patches of wild garlic. Its distinctive smell filled the air.

The first bell jar is all about the beauty of this one single flower “Dipsacus fullonum”. “Summer meadow”, a vintage bell jar with typical…
The first blossoms are blooming… what a hopeful sight! Spring is slowly approaching and I’m so looking forward to it? You too? Although it was far from a spring day when I photographed these blossoms. On the contrary, it was misty and had rained all night, it rather seemed like the perfect autumn day! Nevertheless…
After having such a beautiful week of spring weather, I also want to add a little spring feeling in my shop. So I’ve updated it with new jewellery in soft spring colors.
