BUSY BUSY

Lots of things have been keeping me busy lately and making it hard to start writing a weekly post again about my daily adventures since coming back from my Asia trip. Although it has been a couple of months now that I started working after graduation, I still have to find my way around in having a bit of an organized weekly rhythm, but maybe that will never happen and I have to accept that that’s just me!

Next to a big project at work I’ll be busy moving out upcoming weeks. After five years living in a student house (good memories!) it is time for me to move to a somewhat bigger space with more privacy. Happily I will still have the  company of two room mates at my new house and fortunately my old house is closeby, so I can still easily visit my lovely old roomies!

I opened the shop again, for now I will only sell film-slide necklaces because of the moving out. Once I have fully moved, and visited all the festivals I want to see this summer I will supply the shop with more wannahaves!

Last weekend I went to a new festival called ’Down The Rabbit Hole’ nearby Nijmegen. Besides live music there were many other possibilities like watching a movie, building your own raft and sail on the lake or BBQing your own meal. A must see if you’re here next June 2015 if you ask me!

The pictures above show one of my trips by bike (I went to see a little feel good market with my family in Nijmegen) and the greens on my balcony (it’s growing wildly!).

GREENHOUSE

Although there are still some cold days ahead, spring's slowly starting to begin. The flower bulbs that I planted last fall sprouted already. Hopefully they will get some nice flowers as well!

Yesterday I bought the SOCKER greenhouse from IKEA. I installed it on my windowsill the minute I got home. It has four occupants at the moment: Oregano, Basil, Parsley and Lovage. Enjoy your last hours of the weekend!

BRING IN THE GREEN

Now that Autumn has come and the days are getting colder I've decided to bring a part of my Mint and Basil plant inside. Since most of the Mint plant already died, I took the best leaves and put it in a small jar with water to have the Mint grow roots again. As you can see this worked out well! The Basil still dirty from outside got a nice place as well.

After a week I put the Mint plant also in a pot, now its roots are nested in the soil. Together the Mint and Basil live in my windowsill now.

Furthermore I planted some Anemone De Caen and Ranunculus bulbs in hollow bricks on my balcony. I hope they will flower my balcony with colours upcoming spring!

Liefs!

A FLOWERY WEEK

I got a bouquet of roses a couple of days ago. Unfortunately they started to die early. I would love to have the happy colourful flowers around a bit longer. So I cut the stalks short and I picked the dead flower leaves. I put the roses in these little cute glass jars (which used to contain organic yoghurt, yummy!) The flowers looked alive and coloured my room once again!
