Thanks to Stefanie!

omdat het nog steeds zomer is...

... dacht ik toon ik jullie deze vrolijke combinatie van foto en getekende tekst. Hierin zijn 3 dingen verwerkt waar ik blij van word: mijn liefde voor kleine, al dan niet vintage figuurtjes/speelgoed, quotes en tekenen (al is het hier alleen de tekst;-) Ik maak wel meer van deze combi's en deze vond ik wel passend voor dit blog, zo in de zomer. Meer van deze foto's zijn te vinden op Instagram, misschien zie ik je daar?

Because it's still summer I thought I show you this combination of a photograph and drawing a quote in it. In this photo you can see 3 things which make me happy: my love for small (vintage) figures/toys, quotes and drawing (even if it are only the words;-) I make more of these combination and I thought this one was nice for this blog, because of summer. You can see more of these kind of pictures on Instagram, maybe I'll see you there?

favouriet Juli: eigen oogst

In juni begon het al met de eigen rabarber uit de tuin en nu zijn de aardbeien aan de beurt. Ik heb de "gewone" aardbei in de tuin en een wilde bosaardbei die zich super snel verspreid. Elk jaar duiken er op nieuwe plekken plantjes op. De eerste komkommer is ook al geoogst en nu is het wachten op de tomaten. Cliche of niet: het smaakt toch beter uit eigen tuin;-)

It started in June with the rhubarb in my garden and now it's time for strawberries. I have the "regular" strawberry in my garden and the wild forest strawberry, which spreads really fast. Every year there are new plants on different spots. Also I harvest the first cucumber and now I wait for the first tomatoes. A cliche or not: it taste better from your own garden;-)

Eat your greens

Voor mijn shopje ben ik begonnen aan een nieuwe serie sieraden. Deze zijn gemaakt van hout en daar schilder ik een korte tekst op in combinatie met een dier. De diertjes wilde ik niet erg realistisch maken, meer grappig. En deze hanger is misschien wel leuk voor de vegetarische lezers van dit blog, dus bij deze;-) Wil je meer weten over mijn sieraden, klik dan hier. Binnenkort zullen er nog meer houten sieraden geplaats worden.

For my little shop I started a new series of jewelery. These are made of wood and I paint a text in combination with an animal on it. I did not wanted the animals to be very realistic, more funny. And this piece may be nice for the vegetarians among the readers of this blog, so ;-) If you want to know more about my jewelery, click here. Soon there will be more wooden pieces available.

favouriet Juni: IJS!

Precies op tijd voor de zomer, een blogje over ijs! Ik heb een tijdje moeten zoeken, maar nu heb ik het eerste ijs gevonden zonder kunstmatige toevoegingen, suiker en andere rotzooi en op basis van soja-en kokosmelk, dus lactosevrij. De basis van Frozen Dutch ijs is een minimum van 50% aan vers hollands fruit, groente en kruiden. Veelal van biologisch en uitsluitend van goede komaf. Ik vond deze smaak heel lekker en vooral geen vol en vet gevoel achteraf. De beker was zo leeg! De volgende keer proef ik hun sorbet-ijs, dus op basis van water en daarna is het volgende merk dat suiker-en zuivelvrij ijs maakt aan de beurt, word dus vervolgt! Oh ja: en ik ga proberen zelf ijs te maken...

Right on time for summer, a post about ice-cream! I have been searching a while, but now I found the first ice-cream without additive addition, sugar and other mess in it and on a base of soy-and coconut-milk, so it's lactose-free. The base of Frozen Dutch ice is a minimum of 50% of fresh, dutch fruit, vegetables and herbs. mostly biologic. I really liked this this of coconut and honey and I had no full or fat feeling afterwards. The cup was empty very fast!. Next time I try their sorbet-ice-cream, on a base of water and after that I try the next brand that's sugar-and diary free, so to be continued! And: I try to make ice-cream myself...
