The one with a wishlist

With lots of rain and lower temperatures these last few days, I've been lusting over new things for the home. I've already treated myself last weekend to (even more!) new plants for the home and a small glass dome to display pretty knick knacks. Here are some of the other things that caught my eye :-)

Making new business cards, trying out new pink paper. The playing cards (found at the thrift shop) with illustrations of Dutch cities are now being used as postcards.

 Love the colour of amethyst!

More purple

Something fun on the streets of Arnhem

Windowshopping, and a rare selfie

 Celebrating my uncles 80th birthday, I had one of the pink marzipan cakes :-)

 Our view during coffee

Love this lamp. If I had a bigger apartment (and I guess a slightly bigger budget), I would definitely consider taking it home with me!

How is your weekend going so far? Anything good going on in your corner of the world? I got some work done yesterday and travelled to Arnhem, where friend E. will be opening a new shop soon. There was some work to get done, so I tried lending a hand. Not quite sure if I was very usefull, because I am not very handy. But it's the thought that counts, right? Today I will be doing some chores around the house. And I may watch a couple of episodes of Fringe (I recently treated myself to Netflix.... very dangerous). Wishing you a happy sunday, and see you next week!

The one with some tuesday tunes

Sharing some of the songs I've been listening to lately (there's a new Sam Smith song!), and I think are worth sharing. Anything special you are listening to these days?

Radical Face - the Crooked Kind

Dorothy - Wicked ones

Disclosure & Sam Smith - Omen

Lucy Rose - Bad Blood

Finally got some houseplants, hope they will last a while....

Having lunch with L + Y, I often take a sandwich with goats cheese, and this one with beets, honey and walnuts is definitely in my top 5!

Seen on a walk

Lots of cute vintage cars this week, this van was one of my favourites!

This was the week of the Four Days Marches, it's a tradition to give participants red gladiolus when they cross the finish line.

Realised that this was my first icecream was my first one of summer. 
I think I may have some catching up to do...

 Not quite sure if I do actually like this, cause dolls always creep me out. But I do know that I like the cool minty bicycle this doll rides!

The one with the SwanMarket

Last sunday I attended my second market as a seller, at the SwanMarket in Tilburg (a city south of my hometown, which takes a 45 minute ride by train). Lucky for me, my mum went along, to keep me company, to wrap up sold items and between the two of us, we could take more things (and a nice bonus was having someone with me to hold the fort during a bathroom-break :-)

Arriving in the morning

Our set up

the elastic coard keeping cards in place works very well!

I hate having my picture taken, but here's proof that I was there :-)

And an impression of what the rest of the market looked like! 


Awesome necklaces by Naked Design, I'm a fan!

Don't these look delicious!?






I got all sorts of excited when I spotted this one outside!

I had a great day, and I'd definitely sign up for a new market. The kit I made with supplies like pens, pushpins, tape etcetera, made things a lot easier. I kept the kit as it is and stored it in one of the trolleys we took. Last time, I put everything neatly back in its place when I got back, so I needed to make a new kit, next time it will be ready to go! Also, now I know I will be selling at a market again, there is some work to be done, presentation wise. I think I'll treat myself to a banner sometime soon, and I need some sort of display for my tote bags and notebooks. Clever ideas to stand out from the crowd are welcome ;-)
Selling from the comfort of your home, and communicating by computer is a whole different thing than selling from a stall. As an introvert, I never thought I would have liked interacting with buyers as much as I did. Do you like visiting and/or selling at markets?
