Spoiled

On my mothers attic was this little house, she bought it once in a thrift shop, about 2 years ago. It is a money box. I told her I had a real fine spot for it! But no..she wasn't to persuade. So that was it. But look what she brought with the other day....

welcome

Am I spoiled, or not! I also put the house in my sidebar.

Sometimes it's great to get spoiled or to spoil ourselves a bit. I did, and bought myself these cards from Nathalie Lete

new postcards

new postcards

I really love her drawings!
Now I also spoiled myself with these Figs,

figs

They were looking so delisious!
My dear cousin teached me a great recipi with figs and goat cheese and a bit of bacon. I'm already looking forworth to make and taste it.

But now it is time to show you, as promised the finished miniquilt for the summerswap.

Summer rose miniquilt

I called it Summer rose. Only have to put a little label on the back and than I can send it to S.....oeps almost said it. I hope she likes it.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

We went for new shoes for my son yesterday... when I saw these...

Love the shoes, and the little house!
What are you going to do with the figs?
I have always eaten them fresh, but I saw on someone's blog that they made a fig jam, looked interesting!!!!

Jaja je moet jezelf af en toe kietelen zei mijn vader zaliger altijd, maar gelukkig doet jouw moeder dat ook nog. Wat een schattig huisje. Ik zag er vandaag een paar op de Dordtse antiek markt staan, maar ik heb er zo snel geen plaatsje meer voor en dan koop ik ze niet, heb ook niet naar de prijs geinformeerd. Je quiltje is weer helemaal leuk geworden, lucky girl je swap partner! Wij hadden voor het eerst vijgen aan onze boom, maar door een totaal gebrek aan vijgenkennis hebben we ze te lang laten hangen. Gelukkig kon ik ze nog bij Appie krijgen (=kopen) om eens te proeven. Eet smakelijk!
