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 Commercial 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 in our Veranda}


Today I just want to show you a small corner in our veranda.
Fleur de Lys and Angels:
A vintage Lampe Berger with Fleur de Lys | more found at: Spectrenoir; votive candle holder in brass with Fleur de Lys; wall hanging with Fleur de Lys and Angels. 

Also our solid French oak furniture in the veranda has Fleur de Lys woven into its viscose fabric. Our interior is in the French Country Style.

Sounds rather French all together...
But there actually is a French Connection!

  1. Hallo Mariette, Kun je me even een mail sturen? Ik wilde je nl persoonlijk mailen, maar dat lukt op de een of andere manier niet.

    Groetjes

  3. Hello!
    I love the fleue-de-lys as a decorating motif! Gorgeous!
    I did see that you mentioned my blog on your post from the 13th; I did leave a comment--I hope it went through?

  4. Dear lovely and gracious Mariette,

    I have been scrolling and scrolling and scrolling through your blog and enjoying myself immensely! It's so fun to see glimpses of you beautiful home and parkland and all of the pretty roses and more roses - they're my favorite. It reminds me of Der Rosenkavalier (a strange story, I think, but such beautiful music and - the silver rose - how romantic!) The fleur-de-lys lace curtains are so beautiful! What a talent you have!!! Most importantly of all, however, I'd come to see how Pieter is doing. I was, also, wondering what was happening with your friends who, I remembered, you were looking forward to visiting and taking trips with. How wonderful to have dear and old friends come so close - just when you need them the most. I hope that you're not too busy, though! I will keep praying, shall I?

    Thanks for your comments on the garden. Anyone who doesn't garden would wonder why I'm so excited about some dead sticks in the ground but true gardeners know what those sticks turn in to. Tom got a chuckle and encouragement from your words of praise about his tomatoes, too!

    Well, a hug and a kiss and very best wishes for you, your family and friends!!!

    Love, Katy xo

  6. Hallo Mariette,
    wow - Lilien überall... das ist ja wirklich toll!! War ja echt "Gedankenübertragung" - habe aber schön öfter erwähnt, dass ich Lilienmuster mag - und Paisley, da werde ich auch schwach *träum*. Vor einiger Zeit habe ich mir eine Gipsform gekauft, womit ich mir Lilien gegossen habe - könnte sie im ganzen Haus verteilen! Vielleicht mache ich das auch noch *hihi*
    Wünsche dir ein schönes WE!
    GLG Bianca

  8. Liebe Mariette,
    das sieht ja edel aus! Sind das Bourbonen-Lilien? Ich mag diese Lilien auch und meine Kinder haben sie bei den Pfadfindern als Symbol.

    Ja, bei uns ist es deutlich kühler geworden. Ich hätte gern noch etwas mehr vom Sommer gehabt, bin eben auch ein "Sonnenkind" :-)

    Für Deinen Mann weiterhin gute Besserung und alles Liebe
    Sara

  9. Dearest Mariette,
    This is another of your beautiful creations... simply gorgeous! As someone mentioned, I too enjoy seeing pictures of your home and all the decor. Has your home ever been featured on any magazine or TV show?

    Thanks for your sweet comment. Tell Pieter HI and THANK YOU for "liking" my link on Plaxo :-))

    You and Pieter are in my prayers and thoughts.
