HELLO, this is me! I like the sea - we live nearby the North Sea - because of it's largeness and it's roughness in stormy weather. The colours may change then and become dark and even more mysterious.
My 3 children, my husband and I love to go to the beach sometimes. So here I am in my lovely polkadot swimsuit... (with gracious authorization by the artist: Susan de Waardt, http://www.clarityart.com/)

Something White came along...


Some time ago Some-thing White came along and changed my entire point of view. Before that time I loved colours and especially all shades of bleu, red, pink, yes, even green and also some yellows. How bright and shiny life was then! But it became even brighter when I discovered Scandinavian histories about the love of their homes and interiors, written by some of my 'sisters' in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland who had been touched one day by that same 'home sweet home-microbe'. This Scandinavian light and white happiness is in a lovely way described in the book 'Nordlys' (Northern Light) by author Dorrit Elmquist (http://www.dorritelmquist.dk/) and lots of wonderful pictures show those specific homes and interiors. Well, I still love colours, but in MY house I started a little revolution... All will be white soon... Or - let's say - nearly all.
