We All Need Our "Eigen Stekje"

The Dutch word for a cutting "stekje" has a second meaning in Dutch :

"eigen plek" or "thuis", translated your "own place" or "home" in English.

So "We All Need Our "Eigen Stekje" means "We All Need Our Own Place".

I really hope everyone of you has a save place right now!

Although I should have more time to be more productive, my life has slow down.

We spend so much more time in the garden and outside than we normally do.

I enjoy having more time to relax, reflect and spend more time with the kenderman & cats.

I prefer to be able to meet with family and friends, even colleagues (smile)...

but I'm so glad we're both lucky enough to be able to work from home!

The kenderman just loves to see me multiplying ferns (big smile)

Keep your distance, hang in there, hold on and love one another!

Prosperous

One of my air plants started to get red, then there appeared a purple bud...

I wish you a "prosperous" weekend!!!

Keep Calm

...and carry on... it's almost Friday (smile)

Fern Love

We have searched for a specific fern for quite some time...

We found and ordered  Goniophlebium subauriculatum online at Farnwerk shop.

The plants shipped on Monday and arrived on Thursday at my neighbours house.

Checking the tracking number I discovered this on Saturday...

and my neighbours weren't at home.... gggrrrrrrr 

On Sunday morning I could pick up the plants, almost a whole week after being sent.

And we received, in almost perfect condition, two beautiful plants!

For us there's just one shortcoming...

the Farnwerk website is only available in the German language.

Thankfully they answered my mail in English perfectly. So no worries.

Hopefully their website will be available in English eventually!

Then we definitely will order again!!! (big smile)

Floats

Minimal shelf for some extra plants...

No Cameras Allowed!

Enjoy your weekend! With or without any cameras around...

Shelter

Not all of our ferns are hardy, some of them need protection from the cold...

Too Big

Today we said goodbye to (sold) my desk because it was too "heavy" for this space.

Now it's back to basic.

This old table came from an outdated factory I once worked.

Almost 30 years ago. Yes, I started working at a really early age (smile)

More photo's of my old desk: here, here, here here and here.

And then suddenly my computer is oversized! (big smile)

Weekend!

Wishing you a colourful weekend!

Magnificent Monday

We started with a foggy morning followed by a lovely sunny afternoon...

Underneath

Weekend!

Let's enjoy the weekend!

Indoor Tree Fern

This tree fern is too big for my office and it will be too big for the living soon.

Not the best choice for an indoor plant because Cyathea Lunalata

will grow really tall and it needs a big open space.

Blooming

Have a blooming weekend!

Just a Thought

I've been considering hibernation :)

Nearly There

I'm almost done...

 But if you look closely you can see a circular hole in one of the doors.

The key of the original lock was missing. So we've asked a locksmith to make a key.

I just love the black bakelite handles!
For a  slowly transformation check here, here and here.

Chain of Hearts

Painting

We're over the moon with our latest buy, a painting from artist Mariës Hendriks.

We loved her work at Without a shadow of a doubt exhibition in 2014.

I think the painting blends in very well. The other art work, Words 4
from To B Here exhibition 2013, is from Mariës's husband Gerard Koek.

Growing

Our Lunulata is growing and annexing space :)

Check out our indoor tree fern one year ago here and here.

Le Canapé

Nim on her cardboard Bavaria sofa Le Canapé designed by cat-on.
Our cats love the scratching furniture. Too bad this isn't a sponsored post :)
