December's here

Bonjour everyone!

Last thursday I bought the most wonderful wallet at Zara. I had been eyeing this particular wallet for quite some time and I'm glad I actually took the bold step of purchasing it!

A couple of weeks ago I discovered this blog http://abbytrysagain.typepad.com/abbytryagain/ and it's been a favorite ever since. This girl's photographs are just so stunning and pretty!

The good thing about having a mother with a mild form of amnesia is the fact that you could end up receiving birthday gifts days after your actual birthday. At least that's what happened to me. Saturday my mother came into my room with a huge package, apologising for the fact that she had completely forgotten about this particalur gift and just came across it while she was arranging her closet. It turned out to be the giant cupcake shaped teapot I'd been lusting over for weeks!

Yesterday a friend of mine told me about this awesome Keri Smith project aka the Portable tree. If you don't mind getting glue all over your hands and you kinda like the idea of having a cute little christmas tree, I'd suggest you just give it a go! I made one yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I think I might make another one (or five) You can find the tree at: http://www.kerismith.com/funstuff/portable_tree.pdf

Have a great day!

I assumed I would have some more time to write this post, but I've been working on a time consuming history essay all morning, I still need to bake a pie, and I have to make sure I'm ready for my birthday party tonight! So unfortunately this post won't be as elaborate as I promised yesterday. To get back to your comments, the concert was indeed fantastic, they played for more than an hour, although I wouldn't have minded if they played all night. And I got to see Alex Kapranos up close, eventhough at first we didn't even realise it was him, which was quite confusing and funny at the same time. Anyway, they did this great drum routine (something pretty similar to this) at the end of their song Outsiders which was unbelievably cool.

On a completely different note, last weekend we had our first days of snow here in the Netherlands. I just loved it! I've always enjoyed snow, it reminds me of Christmas, which is my absolute favourite holiday of the year. Talking about Christmas, I've already started listening to christmas songs on my ipod. George and Mariah are my new best friends for the next few weeks.

Wednesday I'll be turning 21, the magical number. As an early gift to myself I bought a new camera! It's a Sony Alpha 200 DSLR and it's perfect.

her are some new flickr favourites:

1. Frozen Sunset, 2. happy birthday, katie!, 3. Such a perfect day, 4. polaroad, 5. Untitled, 6. Untitled, 7. Sofia Coppola, 8. Untitled, 9. Untitled

that's all for now! will try to respond to everyone's comments asap and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
