About Me

I'm a mom to 4 boys, age range 10 to 18 yo My socksize is 37/38 (uk 9-10, US 5/5,5 ; according to a card on socks I got). I love fun sneaker- or short socks!

I love:

  • beautiful pendants
  • bracelets
  • cupcake themed stuff
  • bags, I'm addicted to them! Small, shoulder, big ones, (coin-)purses... you name it.
  • all things matryoshka
  • kawaii, but new to it. So not picky on brand. Cute is cute in my opinion
  • fav. patterns: polkadots, paisley, damask, or general themed, like animals, camo-print or vehicles. Fabric with those victorian images... it's got a name, but forgot how it was called! Usually on white, images in outlines, in blue or pink or something. >> Toile

And this site with fabric makes me drool: Marieke's stoffen

  • reading
  • music
  • lipbalm
  • samples of care-products and perfumes
  • my fav. perfume is l'Eau d'Issey. I don't like the heavy scents. I also love scents like patchouli and sandalwood.

  • crafting, all sorts... and learning new ones!

Comment: Dear Ilona, thank you for wonderful goodies! I´d give you 5 hearts if I could! :) Can´t really pick one thing I like the most. And USB was like a telepathy as I needed extra one. Simply couldn´t believe you´ve sent me one! Also 3D stickers and wooden buttons are amazing. :)

Comment: Thanks for sending. The envelope was open so I'm not sure if customs opened it or it wasn't sealed fully, but all 5 teas were in there so it looks like nothing fell out!
Response: I had the envelope taped up, and it should have contained a tea-wallet with 8 different teas: https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/279012139394000619/. So sorry it reached you like this!

Comment: Dank je voor de mooie muts! Mijn man zei gelijk al dat hij zo mooi staat en toen ik opstond en in de spiegel keek, was ik het met hem eens. Hij past mij prima en valt net zo'n beetje over mijn oren, zodat die ook warm blijven.
