Lost & Found

Lost & Found

I found an old scrapbook, with bird pictures. Lovely! Just what I needed at the (finally....) start of spring. For the dutch readers: the name of the birds are brilliant: Lachduif, Roodoorbuulbuul en de Turqoise parkiet.

Lost&Found

Soms begrijp ik er niets van. Al die prachtige spullen die ik langs de kant van de weg vi nd. (zie label lost&found) Heb ik extra goede ogen? Of een zesde zintuig voor mooi afval? Of ben ik gewoon een sloeber? Dat kan natuurlijk ook. Dit weekend vond ik dit verweesde bosje bloemen. Nog in het plastic en in het papier, zelfs het zakje plantenvoeding zat er nog bij. Ze waren dorstig maar fleuren nu mijn woonkamer op. En ik doe gewoon of ik van een geheime bewonderaar bloemen heb gekregen!

Im not sure if you we really have Indian Summers in the Netherlands, cause I don't exactly know what the description of an Indian Summer is, but the weather sure is wonderful. Today I made a lovely ride with a kind, mischievous horse called King. And the weekend I spent with my rather large family in a big house in the woods. I played ping-pong with my cousins ('We rather play your sister, she is much better than you, but she's not available for ping-pong right now so yoiu will do.' Ok thanks guys...), and I gazed at the latest addition to our family, a two week old baby called Jonas Theo. The theme of our weekend was skiing/mountains. We ate raclette, the windows were covered in fake-snow and we even had a breathtaking mountain view from our windows. One of my aunts loves secondhand shopping as much as I do. Their whole house is filled with vintage design. All found in thriftstores or saved from dumpsters. It was my aunt who found this book: A childern book from Alain Grée. Beautiful, precise drawings with colors that resemble the colors in my own drawings. What an inspiration! Another Lost and Found treasure that made my day. My day? My whole weekend!

Lost & Found

I love secondhand. And im always stunned with the beautiful things I find on the streets. I met a man from Canada years ago while i was in Guatemala and he told me that you should never put lots of effort in buying things. If you wait patiently things come to you when you need them, he said. This man was a big stoner, a real travellers hippie so I never took him to seriously. But his advice still lingers in my head cause he might be right. I have found a beenie on the street just when I needed one, I found white trousers in the secondhand store just when I needed one and last week I found an amazing pile of National Geographics. And this gorgeous blanket! I drove pas and from the corner of the eye i noticed the colours. It might be from the Guatamala region. Wonderful. I consider myself a real lucky bastard if things like this happen to me. Have a wonderful sunday!

Lost and Found

You lose some, you win some. I love going to thriftstores and love finding things in the street. I live in a very wealthy society and I can easily wear, read, sit on, drink from second-hand stuff. Im drinking coffee from beautiful brown cups found my mum. I found a cool bowl next to a garbage-bin, im reading books that I bought in the thriftstore. (found myself 2 Salman Rushdies and a Barbara Kingsolver, and a Nicole Krause book>>> lucky bastard that Im) But I also lost a very nice cardigan that fell of my laundry line. I can only hope some else is as happy with the vest as I was.

Last weekend, when I was working in the garden I found this old piece from a pot or a some other kind of crockery. It made me smile: over hundred years ago some one else loved drawing leaves and plants too. A very nice lost and found.

Have a lovely weekend!

Nothing hipstamatic about this pic. Just an old picture from the sixties. California I believe. These people seem to have a great day. They make me smile for sure.
