since my birthday is tomorrow.....

For a while now I'm saving all of my here and there in the house roaming around coins. They all disappear in my cute piggy bank. I'm saving coins for something high on my wishlist.

piggy bank

chinese rose red bedding from pip. Isn't this not just the most lovely sweet bedding ever?

Sadly the piggy bank isn't ready to go to the store yet. But hey.. since my birthday is tomorrow.....this will be a perfect gift.
I have to give DH a subtle hint!
Usualy I'm not one for a big celebration (especially not my own), but I like cake and presents! To celebrate I'm doing a bit of a give-away. If you fancy this sweet vintage fabric, red and white gingham lace and a piece of a crosstitch napkin, please leave a comment and I'll draw a winner on Sunday 8th February!
sweet heart


Another birthday girl....Luca 6 months.
Oh boy.. she's grown fast! She is so wise and funny and she loves to cuddle. I never knew being an oma was so much fun

Luca 6 months

I'm of now, going to the store buy a birthday cake. No, I'm not baking one myself...although I've lots of recipes in all my cookbooks and magazines!
Have a nice day.

    Ik wens je een hele fijne verjaardag! Hopelijk krijgt je varkentje genoeg te verstouwen om een Pip dekbedhoes te kopen. Ze hebben trouwens ook hele leuke onderlakens! Mijn dochter heeft de lichtblauw/roze variant van dekbedhoes. Errug leuk! Zij heeft zo'n soort slaapbank en dan zie je het onderlaken ook echt. Het is net jouw background zie ik nu! Je hart is prachtig geworden. Maar het mooiste is natuurlijk je kleindochter. Wat gaat dat hard! Een half jaar alweer, niet te geloven.
    Een fijne dag!

    Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag (en je schattige kleindochtertje...). Ik moest lachen om je mooie spaarvarken, ik ben n.l ook van de spaarvarkentjes i.p.v. de spaarbank. Je kunt af en toe zo heerlijk je centjes tellen... En het spaar-doel is echt heel mooi, prachtig dekbed!
    Veel plezier op je verjaardag toegewenst!!

    Misschien wat laat maar van harte gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag. Wat een geweldig doel om voor the sparen ik geloof dat ik ook al het flessengeld opzij zou zetten zodatht sneller zou gaan . het is een geweldig dekbedovertrek. jammer dat ik te laat ben om mee te doen voor de give-away maar de volgede keer beter. Ik vind alles wat jullie maken altijd super gezellig.
    En Luca steelt natuurlijk de show!!!!
