BLUUUUURG!

If you feel cheery and want to stay cheery,

maybe you should not read this self pity post.

I feel everything but cheery at the moment :(.

I'm rarely sick, but yesterday night was a horrible

one with lots of visits to the toilet and lots of

pain in the stomach. Can you believe the timing?

I don't even like new year's eve. I hate fireworks.

Every year I try to make best out of it, being

really emotional and missing my family and

feeling the weight of the world. And this year

I just have to be ill as well. It s-u-c-k-s!

I understand this might not be a pleasant post

for you guys to read but I must say, it really

lifts some weight of my shoulders blabbing it all

out like this. Nonetheless I hope 2011 will be

a good year. For me, and all of you ♡

3 Christmas days

Hello dear blog readers,

how was your Christmas?

I'm sorry for my absence the last couple of days,

I've been feeling ill, like I crossed my own boundaries

a little to much... I did have 3 lovely Christmas days!

The first one in The Hague with my family, the second

one here with Joris's family and though I know there is

technically no third, two days just doesn't seem enough

so on the 'third Christmas day' friends and I joined in eating
everyone's left overs. I must have gained a lot of pounds ;).

I also gained a lot of presents :p, oh, how I love presents!

Shall I show some?

A lot of interior books ♡

And a deer that came all the way

from Singapore. It was send to me by

Vivian, a lovely lady!

My amazing mom collected a lot of deer

for me on every flea market she attended

in the past few months. These are my favourites!

My little brother drew the prettiest rainbow

for me :). My big brother bought the deer tin

and adorable key caps! The nesting doll box

came with 4 larger ones and was given to me

by Therese. I'm spoiled right?

And here is another gift from my mom I adore!

Isn't it just so wrong it's right?

I love it, I'm currently searching for a spot

on the living room wall to hang him.

I couldn't be more happy with my presents!

I'll be back tomorrow on the {can you believe it?}

last day of the year 2010!

Lovely readers, I wish you the cutest, sweetest, happiest

Christmas! I'm leaving for The Hague tomorrow to spend

Christmas with my family, I'm really stoked to see if

to see what they bought for me ;) teehee!

I wish you well!

Cute shop : Bird on the wire

As seen @Minitoko

Bird on the wire is a little shop created by

Petiteetoile in 2006. It was then called Suicidal.fr

but with the unexpected growth and success of

the site came the time of change in april 2008.

Suicidal is still a brand under which Petiteetoile

sells her own creations but now surrounded by a

lot of cute stuff made by other artists from

all over the world.

I picked my favourite products,

I need all of this :)!

Music Monday : An Pierle

Today I want to show you An Pierlé,

A singer from Belgium.

I've been loving her music for a while

now since I heard it in a friends car

and today it's her birthday :)!

I'm having trouble picking a song, everything

is so great, like Once Again, It's got to be me,

Jupiter, or this live version of How does it feel...

If you know her, what's your favourite song :)?

Happy Birthday An Pierlé!

This week

This week began with my last weekly

quote in mind, 'Never let yesterdays

disappointments overshadow tomorrows dreams'...

I believe it helped because I had a much better

week than the week before :), I love that!

Tuesday I went swimming with friends.

I wore one of my vintage bathing suits

I bought on Etsy ages ago. It was perfect and

I felt very pwetty. It looks more like a little dress

but it has pants underneath, perfect actually :)!

That evening I put up the christmas tree,

unfortunately it became the kitties target number one.

Every morning I have to check the damage done;

the bottom layer of ornaments completely stripped

and shattered through the room {luckily I only have

soft ornaments so nothing breaks}. I can't blame

them really, it's just a too alluring game for them :).

I hope the Christmas present I bought for them

will help distract them from the tree;

a huge hollow barrel covered with sisal for

their nails and holes to crawl in and hide :)!

On Friday, my dearest friends and I celebrated

'Sinterklaas' with a game and loooots of presents!

Everyone cooked or baked food so we stuffed ourselves

pretty good and it was fun to see how different

the presents were we bought for each other.

I scored super cute deer Christmas ornaments

{like I didn't have enough of those :p}, a cheese

grater that looks like a mouse, red polka dot

baking cases, a cute tape dispenser, magnificently

designed Alice in Wonderland playing cards :) and

a cute retro-ish make up bag.

We had a sleep over and played the game

'Would you rather' {sleep with Johnny Depp or

Brad Pitt, and more of those life altering questions ;),

I picked Johnny by the way}.

Saturday, my friend Ghislaine had her birthday

party, so again I hung out with friends all

night, I'm always feeling so much better after

being with friends and I'm so lucky with my

little group of the sweetest people ever!

Ghislaine likes unicorns so this was part

of her present:

I did do something naughty this week too...
I bought 3 interior books I've been wanting
soooo bad but didn't really have money for,
so now I have to hand them in as Christmas
presents {for myself of course} which is fine by
me cause I totally adore them!
