New beginnings ....

First of all I want to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2020.
That all your wishes may come true in this fresh new year!

Ours has set off with a wonderful start, 
because our little shop is featured in the first edition of 
the Dutch magazine 'Brocante Special' 
by the makers of Ariadne at Home 
(another well known magazine in the Netherlands)

I felt so very honoured and the response have been overwhelming 💗







When I share this post January is already over.
Makes you realise even more to enjoy every day to the max.

 Last year I was forced to take a step down due to the condition of my eyes.
After my last visit at the eye doctor this past month,
I had to make the decision to quit my part time
job at the hospital.
Although my sight has improved, the remaining side effects will
 keep me from an eight hours day filled with computer work.

But when one door closes another one opens ...
It will give me time to give our Webshop my full attention
and there are still plans to create a Holiday Let in our annexe.

Last year I had some second thoughts about the whole idea because of my sight,
but now feeling confident enough.
The renovation has therefore been delayed, but there is no rush.
Except for those lovely followers on here and Instagram
who asked if it was already finished because they already fancied a stay 😊

Apart of the stress of having to quit my job, January was a good month.
I did a bit of pottering in the garden, and now in love with my kitchen view ...

"While it's February, one can
taste the full joys of anticipation.
Spring stands at the gate with
her finger on the latch"

Happy new month, happy February!
