Since like forever I love receiving snail mail. I've kept all the (love!)-letters & postcards I've ever received in big tins. What I like most is people's handwriting, it reveals so much! I love sending snail mail too. If you follow me on Facebook you already know that I bought some colorful stamps in Portugal Read article…

A Cantina @ Santiago
The only place on my wishlist of places to visit in Galicia was A Cidade da Cultura de Galicia in Santiago de Compostela: the regional cultural center. I was told it is a big modern building on the top of a hill. And that is exactly it. I think I've never seen any cultural site Read article…
Listen Carefully
I can't believe it has already been 2 weeks since we're back home from Galicia. We went back from the roar of the ocean to the soft whisper of the Oise river, which isn't so bad either. On a sunny afternoon a few weeks ago, we were relaxing under the fig tree in the garden Read article…
More yellow!
I hope you're not getting bored by all the yellow I'm sharing this week? These pictures are from my typography hunt in Spain & Portugal. On a trip along the coast I spotted this beautiful "discoteca" sign, but didn't take a picture right away. It was only until we drove back, that I saw the Read article…

Vintage Sapique 15
Today 1 year ago ( thanks to the wonderful Anne from Prêt-à-Voyager! ) our home was featured as a Sneak Peek on Design*Sponge. It marked the transition from several years of renovating to finally enjoying the comforts ( and heating! ) of our home. When I look at the pictures I shot last year, everything Read article…
Dancing Laundry
One of the best things about coming home after living 3 weeks out of a suitcase, is fresh laundry. Oh I love that smell! Although we already smelled it quite a few times in Spain & Portugal as people tend to dry their laundry outside. It smells great and looks very pretty too. Photos were Read article…
A pool by the sea
Let's start off this week with some pure holiday bliss. Or well, attending a beach club near a beach is not my idea of the perfect holiday. But anyway, I was intrigued by this "pool by the sea", called the Club del Mar de San Amaro, which is a 77-year old beach club in A Read article…
Chasing Buoys
Inspired by this colorful installation of buoys in the garden of our little house in Galicia, we went beachcombing on the nearby beach. We found quite a lot of buoys which we turned into a little Chinese b(u)oy. Part of our stash: Look how cute he looks with his necklace: Chasing the beach for buoys Read article…
Faro de Lariño
Our little house in Galicia Spain (booked through AirBnB <3 ) was situated near the Faro de Lariño. Somehow it surprised me that the light didn't rotate, but pointed in one direction. Lighthouses on this part of the Spanish coast play an important role. Because so many shipwrecks occured here, it's called Costa da Morte, Read article…
