Tree Treasure

Last winter I found a black and soaked branch collar (takkraag) in the woods.

After letting it dry slowly, to prevent cracks, it's on the wall now.

I just love it. To surround yourself with beauty can be easy.

It doesn't have to be expensive or 'arty-farty' at all.

Monday Morning

Life can be tough.......... especially on a monday morning :)

Nijmegen

Yesterday we visited De Nieuwe Kamer in the city hall of Nijmegen.
We wanted to see this work from  Mariës Hendriks and Gerard Koek for ourselves.

Bricks

One of the reasons we bought this house is the brickwork.

The house itself is only 12 years old but because of these bricks it looks much older.

The reclaimed bricks and also the colour and the width of the grouting, works for us.

You can still see some pieces of straw left in the loam.......

Some layers of lime plaster.......

Some stones have traces of a fire.......

Sometimes you can even see some fingersprints left in the brick  :-)
