The South Of France, Antibes

Beautiful Antibes, the last time it was 2008 and I always find it a pleasure to visit this place. We spend here many years of our vacation and as I already mentioned, it was on a small and friendly camping in Biot and in September. The sphere in Antibes, it's so much more laid back then the more glamorous Cannes. The friendly people, both tourist and locals. We stayed here for a couple of hours because with tempepratures above the 30 degrees it wasn't easy to walk (especially for my boyfriend) and to shoot some images. Oh my...in one hand my iPhone and bag and on my shoulder my camera, pfff! nevertheless I loved every minute of it and so happy to be back. After all these years it was definitely worth the wait!

           In my next and last post, the view from the apartment in Cannes.

De lente is denk ik toch wel een van mijn favoriete seizoenen, aangezien in deze tijd van het jaar de zon niet zo fel is als in de zomer. Tijdens een korte verblijf in het dorpje Beek-Ubbergen bij Nijmegen was het heerlijk om even een terrasje te pakken na werktijd, of een wandeling na het eten. Het is werkelijk een prachtige omgeving om te vertoeven.

Spring, definitely one of my favorite seasons of the year. Considering in this time of the year the sun is so gentle. A few weeks ago we stayed in a little village, named Beek-Ubbergen (the Netherlands ) for a couple of days. It was so relaxing to sit on a terrace after a workday, or a walk after dinner in a most restful environment. 

                          En in de namiddag vind ik het licht op z'n mooist.

                   And when it's late in the afternoon, I find the light so beautiful.

                                                    ~Some Favourites~

…maybe it's the lack of inspiration/ideas in the last couple of weeks or maybe I have to say "on most blogs, the re-blogs of posts, oh no not again" (yes, including myself! I'm doing this too) or my priority is focus on other things. A combination of this is what keeps me from posting lately. Anyway, what's left at this moment and me in a state of a blog weariness, are simply enough my own images (and maybe you think, well Audrey, haven't I seen this before!! lol). That's okay, but I  hardly can't resist the view of a single flower or a fresh bouquet. Roses, tulips, no matter what and hopefully next time some lilacs. I love these daily pleasures in a vase, on print, and of course fabrics. I made this clutch yesterday. Have a good (Easter) weekend!...

...I've moved this little vase from the window sill in the living room to my working chamber, much better!...

...when I bought the orchid this morning I thought it had a soft pink heart. A bit disappointed (oh well...all orchids are pretty) and as I arrived at home and put it on my desk at front of the painting, my "mistake" is not so bad at all. Hopefully it will last for more then a couple of days. Orchids are one of my favorite blooms so I have to take more care of it, this time. And after the bloom, I'm doing what my parents used to do, dry the delicate flowers between the sheets of a book...

                                         ~Friday & Skipped From Work~

...that's what I did this morning and oh my... such a good decision. I really have a good sleep, went to the supermarket to do the groceries for the weekend, removed some dust in the house and stay for a while in my workspace. For an early Spring feeling I bought these in glass, blue Hyacinth bulbs. Can't wait to see them in bloom. Also on my desk the rocks I collect and new brass beads. Have a good weekend!...

                    ~Ding Dong, And He Doesn't Have To Ring Twice~

...I have a package for you! and I know exactly what. I grab my keys and push the button from the elevator (damn, it feels I have to wait for hours, and why now, please! don't leave) It's arrived! the give away I won on Haute Design and it's just what I've expected from, oh no even better. My goodness...I browse quickly through this beautiful book. Oh wow...there's so much to look at, and what about all those lovely little details. The photography is beautiful. Every single home has his own identity. Flea market finds with design, little feminine touches, dark spaces, sleek furniture and sometimes the unexpected which makes it all so personal and to say it's my home, I live here. I mean just about everything you've like about interiors in general, it's gathered in 217 pages and it's an understatement to say that I'm so very happy with this one...

...and it came along with such a lovely note. I'm so grateful. Again, thank you so very much for this give away Sarah...

                           ~Where The Flea Market Takes Place~

...actually, it only takes place on a Monday and that for a Friday post. Anyway, when I'm hunting those little treasures I'm not only focus on what to find. The grandeur around the small market has also my attention. I love to walk here on a Monday morning, it's quiet...

...as I was on my way to the Stedelijk Museum, unfortunately (damn)...there was no time for the Vondel Park. This reminds me to go back as soon as I can and to stroll through this grand park for a while. Instead, I came across those stately mansions, given me such a beautiful view. I stood there for a moment and just stare at those beautiful houses, and my thoughts are, if I only could, imagine if, and so on. Wake up dreamer and continue your walk, ha! Earlier that day beautiful moldings on the Singel, and passing by the Apple store on the Leidseplein...
