Dutch Design Market

etalage BL-ij by Geertje Aalders

In the eastern part of our country there are unfortunately too little great interior design events. So nice to have discovered the Dutch Design Market in Arnhem!

A couple of days a month designers sell unique clothes, accessories, interior objects and art. Taking place in a pop-up store with a great industrial look in the Koningstraat.

The next Dutch Design Market is held on 1 December.

Just imagine visiting the DDM, getting inspired at Sissy Boy Homeland, doing some christmas shopping at Van Mij, buying paper presents at BL-ij and enjoying apple pie or lunch at Dudok......

enjoying my blessings

A heavy week with lots of mixed emotions, but knowing there are always blessings to count.

Some of my lovely blessings were:
* a lovely deer we bought at my favorite store HEMA for X-MAS but secretly for every other day of the year
* our kids, captured on this lazy sunday morning, enjoying reading books
* today visiting the museum of VSM with the kids walking around impressive old trains,
* and celebrating St. Martin on the 11th of november with Pip & Floor walking with their cute lanterns, singing songs and getting candy :)

Hoping you counted some great blessings too!

Follow the weekly count your blessings-posts of all participants mentioned on Anki's blog Zilverblauw

just to share

July 2005 I gave birth to two sweet girls, Pippi & Cato. Cato unfortunately died halfway my pregnancy and was born together with our Pip at 31 weeks. Pip happily being a healthy, beautiful and strong little girl. As time passed by, 50% became more than 100%, grateful for and in love with our Pip. But still after more than seven years we miss our precious daughter Cato.
Since a few weeks an identical twin was born in my Instagram timeline. Two cute litte girls. And seeing all those wonderful pictures I still feel so much sorrow.
Also realizing it is special to know Cato would look just like Pip.
And tonight I saw this amazing picture on Pinterest, symbolizing the strong bond between our lovely daughters. Love forever!
