About Me

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Fleur de Lys Filet Crochet designed by Mariette's Back to Basics}


Finally I get to show you some of my Filet Lace Crocheted curtains that I've designed.
Designed on October 2, 1999 and Pieter advised me to alternate the Fleur de Lys instead of working in rows. Great tip and so I drew it out.
This is a very special Fleur de Lys in loving memory of a dear friend Donna Rae Canady.
Handmade filet lace by Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedder


The very curtain is hanging at the side entrance door of the antebellum home of Donna Rae's son.
Kelly with his charming wife Janice is running this romantic place, called: Page House Bed and Breakfast


On Sunday, September 5th my dear friend of 45 years (!) Ellie with husband Mathieu joined me for Brunch here. 
They arrived the very day that my love Pieter had his heart attack. But we had something to be grateful for that Sunday, as Pieter came out of his open heart surgery fine. So after Mass we went here together for an elegant brunch. 


 Here, Ellie & Mathieu stand in front of the main entrance at Page House Bed and Breakfast.


This photo I took from the side entrance, where my Fleur de Lys curtain is hanging.


This is taken from the inside where you can see the beautiful Tiffany style stained glass windows with the Fleur de Lys. 
That's why I designed them this way.

How much has happened since then... 


This is again taken on Monday evening, by Pieter.
You might want to read this blog by Katie from Le Beau Paon Victorian, about Historic homes as she describes so well the architrave and such!



Photos above are both taken on Sunday morning at brunch time.  Bottom photo with flash; very hard to capture, whether day or night...

  1. Hi Mariette, I hope in the Lord that your husband Peter as well as follow up to now. The curtains are always a topic of conversation, a home without them "does not seem home." Go right through the window that you have given the place where you went to breakfast with your dear friends and it is beautiful!. I read a bit about the history, the owners and see the different rooms the furniture is beautiful. I love Victorian houses, I really admire the way Americans preserve everything from old houses, even the slightest, is wonderful as all things of many years of great stories tell us is fascinating!

  2. Mairette, God bless you and your dear husband. I will certainly be praying for Pieter! You sound so positive and upbeat. I asked God to bring him completely back to perfect health.

  5. Liebe Mariette,
    was für einen wundervollen Vorhang du designed hast. Ich bin voller Bewunderung dafür. Fleur de Lys ist eines meiner liebsten Motive, ebenso wie die Schwertlilie selbst. Er passt wundervoll zu den Bleiglasfenstern.
    Beste Grüße an Pieter und dich,
    Johanna

  6. Hej Mariette,

    ich bin ganz traurig, da mein Kommentar von Deinem letzten post gar nicht da ist. Ich hatte schon so ein doofes Gefühl. Entweder spinnt mein neuer PC oder Blogger - mal wieder -.

    Also, ich wollte doch auch alles Liebe für Pieter wünschen. Ich habe soooo oft an ihn gedacht. Ich wünsche ihm, dass er schnell und ohne Schmerzen wieder gesund wird!

    War die OP sehr schlimm und auch die Zeit danach?

    Habt es gut und genießt die Zeit! Katja

  7. Was für ein wundervolles Haus, vor dem Ellie und Mathieu stehen! Es ist ja schon fast ein kleines "Tara" und genau nach meinem Geschmack. So ein Prachtstück werde ich mir aber auch künftig immer nur anschauen dürfen und es mir nie leisten können. Schade oder gut - wie immer man es sieht ;)

    Ganz liebe Grüße und beso

    Tine
