Remember I stumbled upon those cool mobiles on Etsy a while ago? They are designed and created Otxo and Mario Conti from VOLTA Paris. And because Paris is just around the corner, I hopped over to visit their fresh new showroom, where they display their collection of mobiles and stabiles.

A bloomifique plantshelfie
As much as I like flowers, I love houseplants so much better. In a previous Urban Jungle Bloggers topic we had a plants & flowers challenge and I remember is was really nice to figure out how to use both flowers and plants in one setting. With flowers you get to play with a wider Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #33
November's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic consists of one of my current obsessions: creative plant pots! Ever since my collection of plants reached the number of 150 I stopped counting. I have no clue if I have more or less plants than that today, because some of them didn't survive this year's lifestyle of (too) much Read article…

And did you know that it's only 3 hours by train to Saint Petersburg?! We took the ferry to Tallinn without any Read article…

Let’s kiss under the mistletoe
One light string in our Euphorbia was our only Christmas decoration at home up until now. But I spotted "some" mistletoe in the tree in front of our home. For the first time there were berries in there and I couldn't resist to get a few. It took an hour to get the entire bush Read article…
It’s a moody wednesday
So the other day I had a brilliant idea. I would buy some beautiful fresh flowers in Holland for the upcoming Urban Jungle Bloggers October edition (it will be all about Plants & Flowers!). The flower shops here in Nogent have a very artificial choice of flowers and bouquets that contain 80% fill-up greenery. I Read article…
Rue Crémieux in Paris
Paris isn't nearly as colorful as Berlin or London, but we do have our own Notting Hill-like street! La Rue Crémieux is one of the most Instagrammed streets in Paris and it was fun to see it in person in stead of on millions of Instagram shots. It's actually a very very regular and small Read article…
