whenever i’m lacking inspiration, pinterest is there to help me. i got inspired by this roasted winter squash dish and quickly reproduced my own version of roasted acorn squash (for me the best squash there is now). buttery roasted acorn squash halves ingredients: 2 acorn squashes 4 tbsp. butter 4 sprigs rosemary 2 garlic cloves,Continue reading
some time ago, a fellow blogger - amanda of slow like honey - wrote a really inspiring post about ‘levity’, or ease of living. basically, what she said is that many things in life just need a hint of humour and self-mockery. needless to say, since i’m a worrier, her post moved me beyond words.Continue reading
last weekend’s wedding filled me up with lots of romantic notions. it was such a generous, beautiful, and inspiring feast of love. it’s difficult to describe, really. but, do you know the children’s book about the mouse who in the summer can’t be bothered to harvest nuts and fruit like all of it’s fellow miceContinue reading
hi friends, happy sunday evening! i just came back from the wedding weekend in the swiss mountains, and i’m still in a happy bubble (hopefully it will make it beyond monday) and i currently don’t have a lot of words for what’s been one of the best weekends, ever. beautiful sunshine, beautiful, inspiring couple, romanceContinue reading
to add some credibility (to myself, mainly) i thought it time to come up with a bit of music that isn’t dominated by bearded, dirty looking seabears, lumberjacks and / or vagabonds at heart, just this once. or short: male folk heroes. are all folk heroes male? makes sense to question this. but no, theyContinue reading

the flea market season will soon make way for more indoor oriented activities (sadly). and since you know how much i love all things vintage, thrifting and flea markets in general, my mom and i made the most of it and went to the flea market in zurich on buerkliplatz just one more time. afterwards,Continue reading
i’ve always loved to decorate my home according to the season, with candles, flowers, natural produce, goods from the forest, books and trinkets. now, i want to make this obsession with decorating a regular feature here, called ‘vignette’. where i style corners of my home in a sort of still life scene, just for theContinue reading
after what felt like the mental state of an bear’s extended hibernation naptime these past weeks, almost like living in a dream and not really active or attentive (in relation to the people around me), i now feel refreshed, just like you would after a good night’s sleep. i’m not questioning where it comes from! but,Continue reading
because we’re already, like, in the mood for dutch things after the last post, i thought it would be nice to share the amsterdam style appeltaart (apple pie) recipe with you today. because, really, i almost couldn’t wait any longer. this cake has me hooked… and i don’t mean in ‘an affair’ kind of way…Continue reading
