Real friendship knows no distance












































This should have been a garden post, showing you the first spring flowers, but it's Arctic in Rotterdam and I did not feel like going to the garden at all. With strong north easterly winds and low temperatures, it is much more comfortable inside.  Hopefully, it will be better next week, because I find it difficult to wait!! I want to start digging and planting......:-)

Guess what? I found a desk for my craft room in the thrift store last week, together with two old packs of cards. I could not believe my luck! The table was less expensive than a pretty bunch of flowers and just what I have been looking for. It was part of a set, with two matching chairs, but a kind man in the store let me have the table only. I think I will give it a layer of chalk paint, but I am not sure of the colour yet. Suggestions are welcome!

A big hug to Koralee from Bluebird Notes and her friend Anne. They took the trouble to visit Rotterdam during their tour of Holland, to meet up with Dutch blogfriends.

Saskia, Jolanda, Frances, Lia and I had a lovely afternoon in House of Seasons, drinking tea and catching up!

I read a quote yesterday: 'Real friendship knows no distance'. It's so true!

Have a lovely week!

Love,

Madelief x

  1. We attempted to go in the garden today to plant some phlox and broad beans, it was freezing and we soon retreated back in doors! I love your new desk it looks just right for your craft room and those cards must have been just waiting for you to pick them up! Did you make those magnificent cakes?

  13. Hi Madelief,
    I really love your new table and the cards are a nice find too. I think the table will look good in any color but I have a thing for aqua or soft green lately.
    We got had a couple of snow storms in the last week so it doesn't seem like spring yet. It will be awhile before we can work in the garden.Andrew and I are going to England for 2 weeks this spring-so excited! I was looking on your posts on England to see where you went.We plan to stay in the Cotswolds for most of it.
    So nice to have met up with blog friends.My sister(from Vancouver) is going to Holland for a month this summer and doing a home exchange so that should be very interesting for her-I would love to be able to go too for a couple of weeks but we have quite a few tours booked here then.

    Your cupcakes are so pretty on your china and I love those pretty cases!

    Enjoy your weekend,
    Carolyn

  22. Dearest Madelief,
    Lucky you for finding the table of your liking!
    You mean the weather in Rotterdam felt Arctic? (not Artic).
    Let's hope that Easter will bring a change about and that you soon can enjoy gardening again. But even here it will freeze again on Tuesday night. It goes so up and down...

  28. Liebe Madelief,

    das ist wahr ! Die wahre Froindschaft kennt keine Entfernung und so sende ich Dir aus dem fernen Klein Gallien meine herzlichsten Ostergrüße ! Bei uns ist es auch eiskalt, was mir an sich egal ist, weil ich ja immer dick eingepackt bin, wenn ich mit Dukie und Minnie spazieren gehe, aber nachdem ich im Garten ein Großprojekt bis Ende April fertig haben muss, frage ich mich, wie das noch alles rechtzeitig wachsen soll...

    Dein Tisch ist herrlich und weil Du wie ich auch Farben magst, denke ich an einer weissen Wand würde etwas farbiges sehr gut passen. Und ich stelle mir gerade dieses blasse Grün von Deinem Gartenhaus an dem Tisch vor und finde es herrlich !Hast Du davon noch ein wenig Farbe übrig ?

    Wenn ich mich nicht entscheiden kann, dann streiche ich mit den verschiedenen Farben Papier oder Zeitung an, lege es auf den Tisch und betrachte es etwas von weiter weg, um mich leichter für eine Farbe entscheiden zu können. Mach es doch auch so, vielleicht hilft es Dir auch ?!

    Einen erholsamen und warmen Sonntag wünscht Dir

    Deine Eve

  29. Beautiful photos of pretty cupcakes and gorgeous vintage china. I love your new thrift store table. I think it looks good as it is. It seems to blend in rather nicely with your vintage tins and crockery, but Annie Sloan has an extensive range of stunning paint colours so I am sure you will find the right shade for your craft room! Weather is horrible in England too, although no snow as we are down south, it's cold enough to keep us indoors and baking instead of getting out and about. Have a lovely Sunday. Sharon

  30. What fabulous finds - the cards are so pretty. The table is a treasure, I think chalk paint is a great idea - you could do a stencil on the top of roses or something like this, then distress it or crackle it to age if you were feeling adventurous. I am looking for a table myself for painting on so am a little green eyed! Betty

    That's a great desk you found! What a nice man to be so cooperative! I'm sure whatever colour you choose for it will be wonderful.
    And, yes, I think you are right that the weather in Rotterdam and Newfoundland is very much alike. I think it can be said for many places around the globe this year. It seems many of us are lamenting about spring being so late. And, you're so right, too, that friendship knows no distance. Isn't Blogland just such an awesome place to live!
