Summer quote
Today summer officially begins! Time for a summer quote…
Early summer days
It’s already June; the month which is filled with the longest days, strawberries, roses and peonies. The month when the verdant garden is at its peak of beauty and when so many flowers are in full bloom.
A morning in the garden
This month hasn’t come with April showers but gave us sunny spring days instead. The soil warmed up and seeds could germinate, everything has bursted into shades of green, trees are unfolding their leaves, the first spring flowers are blooming and the fruit trees are in full bloom. Spring is really here!
Spring quote
Spring is officially here! A season we’ve all eagerly been waiting for. Harmonious bird song in the morning, sweet fragranced blossoms, fresh green shoots, the lengthening of daylight and the bright yellow of the first dandelions colouring our days.
Beautiful Bruges
On a sunny but cold Saturday morning my husband and I travelled by train to Bruges, one of the most beautiful and historical cities in my country. Its history goes back to the Middle Ages when it became an important international trading centre.
The poetry of snowdrops
Every year again I can’t resist writing about the wonderful snowdrops. These small winter miracles are such a joyful and hopeful sign at the end of winter, aren’t they?! Finally we can start dreaming of Spring again!
February musings
It’s a grey and windy day with rainy clouds passing by. We’re halfway of February and on a day like this, spring can still feel far away. Still, there are already subtle signs of the reawakening of nature and the days are getting lighter. Have you noticed it too?
My creative process
It’s a grey, windy and rainy day at the end of January. I’ve just made myself a cup of herbal tea, put on some classical music and am all ready to write this new blogpost! It will be a mix of my nature photography and porcelain work. Some delicate porcelain poetry for a winter’s day…
Rest and reflection
I’ve wanted to write a blogpost for a long time but my thoughts and ideas weren’t quite aligned to work it out. But I think I finally have something I would love to share with you at the beginning of this winter season. Sometimes ideas need some time to ripen and grow… and that’s what the winter season is for.
Winter quote
Winter is officially here! Although it’s not snowing outside right now, some snowy and wintry pictures are appropriate for this time of year, don’t you think?! So I scrolled through my photo archive of last winter and came across these ones. Just to bring us in the winter mood!
Celtic blessings
I’ve designed a small selection of cards with celtic blessings to send to your beloved ones. I think autumn and winter are the perfect seasons for writing and sending a hand-written letter or card, don’t you think?! There’s just nothing quite like sending and receiving handwritten notes. It’s a simple way to touch the heart of another.
Golden October days
These golden October days are slowly coming to an end and this month has been so generous with beauty and autumn delights. So I hope you’re ready for a golden and warmly colored blogpost…
Autumn quote
Can you believe it’s already autumn today? Summer has gone by so quickly… but I don’t mind. I’m quite ready for those autumn days of cosying up, woollen cardigans, beautiful colors, picking apples in the garden, golden sunshine and candlelight. What about you?
Morning silence
Getting up very early, putting on my walking shoes and starting this day with an early morning walk in a quiet area, called Landschap de Liereman.
