natural halloween

...

I don't like halloween except if its coming in his natural form. When I was a child it was just not existing in Switzerland!

Today is the birthday of a dear friend of mine. I backed her a cake. Will come in the next post-have still to finish it.

Street gardens

...
Most of the pictures are from this book:

Michel Butor, Olivier Delhoume
"Jardins de rue au Japon"

...
Some are from me from Brussels, Antwerp and Tokyo. I have ideas for the next summer!

a wardrobe for butterflies

...
B. had to breed butterflies.
He gave them a house.
It looks so nice and they are doing well.

hairy stuff 2

...
Again some real hair pieces. It looks like everything comes from France.
The function of the hairnet is not completly visible for me-just bought it cause of the nice envelop.
The comb I like for the bow and the slide for its function.
Bought most of it in Maison Philippe Linssen in Brussels.

...
Rayon-wool stockings from the fifties, knitted in form.

singel woman sunday

...
Like couples have their Sunday program, I have it too.
If it's not raining I mostly go to Brussels to the fleamarket.
Today it was raining. I wear my heavy walkingshoes, take a walk, go to the antique street in Antwerp, look for things for my work and my home.
Go to "Pain quotidien" for a blueberry cheesecake or a lemon tartelette.
Buy flowers or plants on the market.
Look for apartments, shops, houses and gardens to rent or to sale. Put my nose on the glas and try to catch something.
Load up my photos from the week and try to get updated with the blog.
Watching "madmen" or go to the movies.
Diy and cleaning.

And having suprises like the heart in the bread when I cut it this morning.

bath greenhouse

...
My bathroom is very humid. So I decided to make a kind of little greenhouse out of it! The potholders are crochet-little diy.
And the picked plants from the different Botanical Gardens are growing nicely!

...
The Japanes are doing good as well.
The photos are again from the magazin Ku:nel vol. 45.

...
And maybe I hang this kind of plant, forgot the name, next to my shower. The once in the Botanical Garden in Berlin were the biggest: trees! I would say. But these once are from the magazin and from Antwerp. They look like faces. Very weird thing.

lucifers

...
Let them burn and you smell sulphur. In dutch they are called "lucifers". Maybe because the hell and the devil are connected with sulphur and fire of course!
I like the colours and the packages.

Autumne light

...
In Antwerp it's always the same: You want to go out, you take your keys, the moment you're at the door it's raining like hell, two minutes later it's done. But-you never know when the rain is coming back.
But the colours, what can I say. Yesterday afternoon and this morning god painted his sky!

Ecological cleaning

...
Sorélia la pierre d'argile: good for every surface and it looks like new. Incredible stuff!

Black soap: to use in the house, in the garden and especially also for very dirty wash. Very useful in the theater when performers tend to be pigs.

The book I have from Paris with a lot of useful tips.
Natural products are cheaper, more efficient if you learn how to use them and smell better. I'm a big fan.
