I received some real mail today; the Christmas cards by Trui Chielens found their way to our snow-covered letterbox.
We really should like to send everyone a card like this with dear Christmas greetings and all the good wishes for the new year to come.
Enjoy the feasts and the presents (I already know what’s in mine: a couple of days in Sweden in January).

Things for the Christmas table, now just the ‘glögg’ needs to be heated up.

A small Christmas gift, I should like to give or to get.

We have never had Christmas figures in house here, until now.

Summer and winter in Dalarna.
Our summer nest in white, this year again no Christmas in Sweden.
Lucia and lussekatt here in Belgium is not the same thing,
the julbord may then maybe taste the same, Sweden seems further away than ever

It’s been a bit quiet here on the blog lately, the days are sort of slipping through my fingers, just like that!
But sometimes, there is a day to remember. Friday was one of those days, the opening of gallery Valerie_Traan in Antwerp.
Was there to look at new work by two dear friends who call themselves Studio simple.
I’m already impatiently looking forward to their solo exhibition. They make really beautiful objects; simplicity, pure materials, beauty!
