Time to harvest! My first batch of radishes was ready to be harvested. As well as some strawberries from the plant that survived the winter without any special care. Both the radishes and the strawberries taste so much better than the ones from the market or supermarket. It may seem very boring, but nothing helps Read article…

Funky Flowers
My sister knows about my preference for succulents over flowers very well. However she offered me two bunches of peonies this weekend! We very rarely have flowers at home, except fresh ones from our garden sometimes, so I was a little surprised. But she bought these for a special reason: the same peonies were used Read article…
Styloise: Pétula
It's been 10 years that I live in the Oise department in France. The Oise is a department in the North of France, named after the river Oise and is situated 35km north of Paris and part of the Picardie region. When moving to France 10 years ago, it wasn't my intention to live anywhere Read article…
Vintage Sapique 2
No electricity. Oh yes the memories are vivid! Of course it was one the of the first things we fixed at Studio Sapique. The moment that we switched on the first light bulb in our home was quite a victory! A tiny temporary cable running through the garden to the mains connection, provided us with Read article…
Vintage Sapique 1
Today I'm starting this new series: Vintage Sapique. During a sunday walk over 9 years ago my husband and I came across – and fell in love with – this great industrial building from the 60s.

Urban Gardening
The evening before The Hive in Berlin I was invited by DaWanda to attend a special soirée about Mobilising Communities. A few speakers told us about their community based projects. I was very much inspired by one of the projects called Stadtgarten. The idea is simple: Stadtgarten is an internet-based platform that helps groups of Read article…
Übercool Berlin
With the beautiful desaturated Berlin photography of Sandra Juto in my head, I traveled to Berlin. The city turned out to be so much brighter than I thought it would be. So many colors everywhere! The amazing weather and creative conference absolutely helped a lot there too. It appeared to me that somehow Berlin is Read article…

Ich bin kein Berliner
Berlin is amazing. This city is so very big, streets are wide, it's airy (you can actually breathe here!), has a creative feel and is very green too. The façades of the (huge!) buildings are very flat and most streets have lots of trees. I walked for hours without seeing any tourists. I now understand Read article…
