XO5 Friday ❤ Bohemian style


We're going Bohemian style all the way today :)
One of my favorite styles, i just love this hippie look, 
 the colors and (fabric) designs. So as you might have guessed
i'm really happy that the Spring Collections are full 
with Bohemian pretties, i'd better hide my wallet :P

Happy Friday ❤

Weekly craft inspiration Wednesday



From now on i will be posting creative inspiration here (almost) every Wednesday. These posts will be filled with DIY's, my own crafts, other creative blogs that i've found, great crafting books etc. I wanted to kick of with 'craft spaces', because this were it all starts (yep i know, this isn't always the case but we do like it, don't we?!) Even when you're crafting at your kitchentable, dinnertable or on the couch, most of us dream about craftspaces or maybe they are so lucky to have one :D

It really makes me want to start all over again at my own craftspace. I just love looking at other studio's/craftspaces, most of them are so so neat :) Okay let's be honest i have to much creative materials and stuff, so i keep changin' and rearranging everything a few times a year. That's also has to do with the fact that i'm not only painting and scrapbooking anymore, but i also started with: sewing, knitting and crochet. Oh who cares if it's a mess, if i feel comfy in it it's totally fine ;) It's usually a mess when i'm creating, but afterwards i usually clean up the place ;) Well i hope you will enjoy this post and feel inspired. Maybe so much that you're going to paint and rearrange your own craftspace or make one, if you do i would love to see it!









Which one is your favorite?

Music inspiration Monday



Hello hello :) The sun is shining already on this
lovely Monday morning and it will be for at least
a few days, so a big 'YAY' Spring is here ☀

For most people Mondays are the first day after the weekend,
that they have to go to work again or in other words the first
day of another working week. So what better way is there to 
start your week with some Music inspiration?! From now on
you can find them over at my blog (almost) every Monday ♥

Todays post is about the Dutch singer Schradinova. She used
to play in the band Room Eleven but after making two albums
together she decided to go solo. So far she has made one lovely
album. I found a video on youtube were you can listen to a few
of her songs :) I totally like her style, so i made a little collection
so that you can see it for yourself :)


you can also read an (Dutch) interview here

Hope you enjoyed todays post :)
Have a lovely Monday! XO. Vera

Sweet life Sunday



From now on every Saturday or Sunday i will be making a 
post about my life, so that you can get to know me a little better ;)
Because i like taking pictures and that's also the best 
way to really 'see' my life, you'll reguarly see them here.
A few things from this past week...

i'm trying to take pictures from myself
with the camera, but i don't seem to have 
found the perfect spot in our house yet.

  i just love it when homedecoration
magazines 'hit' the doormat

 so happy with these pretty 
flower vases from one of my 
favorite brands Dutz

 yay the weather was finally sunny enought that i 
could wear these new flats for the first time :)

On monday i payed a visit to the gardencentre,
with only one goal... colorful plants.
On Wednesday i finally had some time to 
work in my garden and this is how it turned out:





 On Saturday i went to the gardencentre a second time, 
because i wanted to get a few more plants. I made it 
a little outing just for me, just loved it!


Have a lovely Sunday...
