What do you do when it's raining & you've just found several new Lego sets in the stash of your husband? You build a Lego bakery! Including 1 croissant, 2 baguettes & cupcakes! Any idea what these stacks of tiny "balls" are? Maybe chouquettes? Or oranges? Even though I'm not a big fan of pre-fab Read article…

Do you like fish?
During our holiday the ocean was never far. I had this very romantic idea of eating fresh fish from the bbq every night, but that experience turned out not so great. I completely overlooked that you have to clean a fish before cooking. Drama: the meat was tough and we, as true campers (not…), even Read article…
Thunderbolt alert
Isn't this the coolest outdoor neon sign you've ever seen? Well maybe not the coolest, but knowing that it's for a random household appliances store ( in Portugal ), adds a little coolness huh? And what about the electricidade sign with thunderbolts above the entry? Wish you an electric weekend!

The balcony scene
IKEA just sent me some additional shots from our photoshoot earlier this year. I remember this moment very well: we posed on the balcony of Studio Sapique when it started to rain. Our view was hilarious: to protect the camera & laptop from raindrops, the assistant covered them with his coat. From our angle he Read article…
Yummy food from Spain
When I saw this pretty "carolina" pastry in Bilbao, I knew I wanted to taste it. The lady from the pastelería wrapped it up for me & put toothsticks in it to prevent the pastry from any "damage": very cute. The looks are better than the taste: too much meringue / marshmallow on top of Read article…
Vintage Sapique 16
Our cinema room is my favorite room in the entire house. It feels like a tree house: it's on the second floor and the branches of the tree outside reach the window. It has two doors ( including a "secret" door to the guestroom ), a mouse hole a.k.a. cat door, a dining table for Read article…
Green Ropes
Sometimes you've had an intense week ( in a good way ) and there's nothing left to do than sharing some pictures of fishnets & ropes. Happy weekend!
My favorites @ TRANOÏ Paris
Recently I visited Tranoï, the most creative fashion trade show in Paris, to find fresh inspiration. I'm currently on the lookout for a new winter scarf ( since I lost my favorite one in Berlin ), and am obsessed with soft fabrics. While strolling along the booths I admired "old favorites", like the amazing hats Read article…
Sucker for Succulents 3
My absolute favorite souvenir from a trip is a bunch of so-called "cuttings". I found these beautiful red agaves in the moorland between the ocean & mountains in Galicia. I also brought a tiny aloë vera, some succulent "flowers", palm tree seeds & a few cactus plants. I have no idea of their names, but Read article…
