Blue Monday


Last year we were in England in a lovely Bed and Breakfast. The lady of the house had a beautiful garden. This was just a little part of  it.

Pink Saturday.


Today this post is a  ” Thank You”  post. A thank you to three different blogging friends who sent me presents and all in this Valentine week. I won two beautiful give-aways, wow,   and let me  tell you, I never won anything  in my life before.
So here I have some beautiful virtual pink roses for the ladies. In Holland we always give flowers to say thank you.
You know by now that I love making collages so I made one with these  photo’s.

And now see what I won. Maggie from that beautiful blog “Normandy Life” sent me the book of my all time favorite TV series “Downton Abbey” .  And it is  beautiful. It is full of photo’s and stories of all the people that play in it. There is so much to read and to see in it, wonderful.
Maggie is an English lady who lives in Normandy, France, in a beautiful old house. Go visit her blog http://normandylife.blogspot.com/  and see for yourself.

June has the most beautiful blog I have ever seen. It is called Laughing with Angels. If you don’t know June and her blog go visit her. Here is the link  http://laughingwithangels.blogspot.com/
She sent me this box with a gorgeous little heart made by herself , a little paper doily heart, some sweet hearts and a beautiful photocard with roses from her garden.  I never got anything for Valentine so this was  wonderful .

Outdoor and watery Wednesday.


After all that snow and ice for the last few weeks I thought it would be nice to pretend that winter is over and we are back in spring or even summer. So I have some nice summery photo´s here.
