fine little weekend

window shopping, I'm really in the spring mood

 

music... music... more music

fine little city walk

Rhubarb juice in Germany.

That could be my new summer drink.

After a busy week, I just want to sit on my couch and read.

see you,
Kay

PS:
Feeling like baking... chocolate hazelnut sounds yummy.
Our weekend music... the new album  from Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

birch wood shelves

We just got some birch wood from our neighbours. It would be fantastic if Mister Kay could make me some birch wood shelves for my growing trainers collection.

What do you think?

see you,
Kay

PS: I like 'I quit sugar'

Hans Bolling

Duck and Duckling by Hans Bolling designed in 1950.
The small duckling  I got from my brother couple
of years ago  and the mama duck I got from my cool vintage
friend  Merle last week.

Still busy unpacking my vintage ...so there is more to come .

enjoy your week.
Kay

PS: beautiful vintage blog Fargevandering

Herr Max

Herr Max is a charming  and busy place in Hamburg. Guess most of my German readers know it. They sell amazing homemade cakes and serve good coffee. Love the light blue wall tiles and the white furniture... a pretty and sweet look.

Hope to go back there soon and have some more of the fantastic cheesecake they make.

see you,
Kay

PS: love the work from  Carl Larsson

so lucky

We have been so lucky the last couple of days. Our first day in Hamburg started with a  small car accident but a couple of hours later we already had Kaffee & Kuchen with some of my dear friends. I tell you more about our trip coming week.

Today on the way back our car broke down but again we where really lucky and finally we got home safe...

see you,
Kay

PS: On my record player in this moment Eva Cassidy Songbird , my birthday gift from Mister Kay.

Marks and Spencer

Love that yellow... is that mustard?

Tokio Meyers, interesting person and a great piano player

I know where I will get my next coat...

Marcel Wanders in action, checking his display

Pretty lady Sylvana Simons

You all know I'm a big Marks and Spencer fan, so I was delighted that they are back here in the Netherlands. Tomorrow they will open a really large flagship store in Den Haag.

Mister Kay and I went to a preview party to have a good look at the new store. They got it all, a nice big food department(heaven). There is also a great range of clothing.

Only 30 minutes from my house to the food hall, lol.

see you,
Kay

PS: back sooooooooon.

gorgeous day

 

Coffee, the best way to start the day.

Cool vintage look

Music is like air, can't live without it!

Beautiful wall lamp from de mooiste muren

See you all in a couple of days,
Kay


PS: 30sto50s  great place for vintage lovers

Penguin Donkey

 

I have been fascinated with the Penguin Donkey bookcase for weeks now.

 

Designed by Ernest  Race in 1963.It was named the Donkey because it had four legs and two panniers.The shelves are just the right size to house Penguin books.

 

Hope one day I find a vintage one but if not Isokon Plus is selling them... guess I should start saving.

 

see you,

Kay

 

PS: music of the day

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion

Olympia crazy cats

I had to show the photos of my cats. As you can see they are watching too much Olympia. They really love Bobsleigh and I bet they would do very well, lol.

Keep smiling and enjoy the rest of the weekend,
Kay

PS: in march we will go to the Vintage Design Market in Gent.

I just want to frame most of the covers.

We started our half term this weekend. The idea is that we go to Germany next week. It looks like I will have my birthday there. Me being a big fan of the German baking, I hope one of my friends will bake me a nice birthday cake... yeah.

Enjoy your weekend,
Kay


PS: I often listen to a Lou Reed song called  'Beginning of a Great Adventure'

Tijdloos

 

 

We just got home from a trip to Ikea. I wanted some more BRÅKIG cups but they only had the two cups I bought earlier. So I have to try to find the other two somewhere else.

Looks like a rainy weekend coming up, which will give me some time to catch up with some
paperwork.

enjoy your weekend,
Kay
