Remember?


Do you remember, the old fashioned sleeping gowns? Can you imagine Christmas morning in an ugly Pokomon pajama, horrifying. These on the other hand will give you one in style, just like it should be. And not only then, it's an everyday pleasure to see the kids walking around in them in the morning.

The Tiduras as they are called (from the Indonesian word Tidur = sleeping), are made in Bali, exclusively for Liefgoed on limited scale. All come with a small bag of the same material. Available in all sizes, so your toddler can wear one, but you & husbands well. Liefgoed

How was it?


First of all, it is an absolute great show!
Now on the most important reasons why I was eager to see it, I can be extremely short:

Costumes: As one of the guests remarked 'I want everything in size 38 please!'. Says it all

Cast & Director: for the first time in 10 years of seeing lots of musical premieres, I actually needed a handkerchief. Thank you dear husband for carrying one.

Petticoat


This afternoon at 5 the World Premiere of Petticoat at the Royal Theatre Carré in Amsterdam. A musical written by André Breedland & Maurice Wijnen with music of Henny Vrienten. I'm quite expectantly about going. Why?

First of all, it is set against the 1950's, it's social context & fashion. An era which I, fashion wise, think is the most stylish & elegant one of all times. Looking at the series 'Mad Men', or even better the movie 'A Single Man' is a cheer joy, just for the costumes only. So knowing only THE best have worked on Petticoat, Cocky van Huijkelom for costumes and Sjoerd Didden for wigs & make-up, makes me eager to go.

Secondly, Paul Eenens, regardless that I love the man for who he is, I adore his work as a director. Every single piece of his hand was a thrilling one. And last but not least, Chantal Janzen, she's not only a pleasure to look at she also has a great sense of humor.

So for me, all the right ingredients are there, and of course there are so many more. But these three alone make me want to go! Want to know more about tonight?, tune in tomorrow.

This weeks favourite album

Is the one from the movie Pulp Fiction, which we have seen I don't know how many times. The mixture of songs are absolutely great, from heavy rock to golden oldies soft.

Golden ears

Mo & I both have dogs, and two of them are old. My dog, Tom, is of the respectable age 14 and I don't think he's gonna be around for a very long time. So when I saw these wonderful rings I immediately thought of the idea of having a ring made with Toms ears. Designed by The Golden Plague



















silent plastic pleasure

He couldn't find the off switch quick enough, so this is how husband silenced up the plastic singing bird.

How to feed the world?



By Dennis Waerebeke

Plastic pleasure


Birds, the world would be boring without them. To me, they represent freedom, so keeping birds in a cage is not my cup of tea. Now I've seen plastic singing birds in a cage, nice, but even though it's plastic, I couldn't. So when I saw this ugly plastic bird on batteries singing, nodding is head and moving its tail, I couldn't resist. The children will love it, let's see how soon my husband will find the off switch.
