Brugge Airbag Festival

At the moment there´s an Airbag-Festival going on in the beautiful city of Bruges and in several places and on different corners people can assist at free concerts. The weather was gorgeous today,  locals and tourists celebrated sun, there were a lot of people everywhere because of the May-fair and due to this festival of course. We enjoyed this Mother´s day as well. Our children had a lot of fun with ancient games, like walking on wooden stills and many more. My attention was particularly attracted by several cute kids...

My heart wanders

All these pictures are from the beautifully poetic book: My heart wanders by internationally acclaimed stylist, photographer and author Pia Jane Bijkerk: a celebration of taking risks, letting go and making a home wherever you are.

Four years ago something very peculiar happened.

My heart wandered.

It simply packed its suitcase and wandered away. I wrote it a letter in heart language but it never responded. So what does one do when one´s heart wanders?

Follow. For being without a heart is to be no longer alive.

As I went searching for my heart, I learnt that it intuitively knows what to do and where to go, and I learnt that it wandered for a very special reason.

And so, as I travelled in search of my heart, I caught glimpses of it everywhere - little signs of it in the streets, in the landscape, in my work, and in the homes that I visited.

And then, i saw my heart amongst you.

Electric blue

I needed some colour-injection today! So, why not electric blue or royal blue to cheer up these grey and rainy days? I love to wear this bright tone and with soft pink it makes a nice combination.

Lovely vases from Anthropologie.
