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

{Like to see my own Everlasting Silver ROSE?}

Okay, here we are in our living room. That's where my very own Giovanni Raspini Everlasting Silver Rose resides. In front of the books; together with silver frames and other exotic things (more about that tomorrow).
Oh, and there is also a silver 'baby' rose! 
That silver 'baby' is actually a 925/000 silver brooch from Germany, but I love to display it with the longer 'mama' rose from Italy, which is 7" long.
And talking about Mama; to the left is my Mom in a silver frame, together with me.
Those pictures were taken here in Macon, Georgia one time, when we had Mom & Dad over with us, from The Netherlands. 
Mom said that it was the most precious gift she ever received... That meant a lot to me and Dad found her look stunning when we both got home. Guess he did fall all over in love with her. They're a couple for almost 62 years!
Yes, 2,318 views for this post...
Yes, the sterling silver frame with Mom's picture does also have roses on it! 
The large rose from my Giovanni Raspini  Silver Gifts collection at Mariette's Back to Basics is my all time favorite! Sold out...
It is so real looking and even its thorns are perfectly created by Master Giovanni Raspini.
You can see a different picture of this silver rose on my blog post about: {Point A La Ligne The Rolls Royce of Candles}

This is a photo taken by day, with one more silver frame that we bought in Asolo, Italy. That one shows me in our gazebo while having coffee one Sunday. 

This one is taken with the flash light in the evening...
Tomorrow you will see more about books in our living room!

  1. Hallo Mariette,
    oh, ich wusste gar nicht, dass Raspini auch eine Brosche gemacht hat. Die ist wirklich zauberhaft, genauso wie die elegante große Rose. Und die Fotos sind wirklich gelungen. Deine Mama sieht phantastisch aus und du bist ihr jüngeres Ebenbild. Kompliment, das sind Fotos (in tollen Rahmen), die euch beide wirklich großartig zeigen und ganz natürlich. Ich kann gut verstehen, dass dein Vater entzückt war und ganz sicher war es Pieter auch. Ich wünsche dir und Pieter eine wunderbare Woche.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna

  6. Hi, Mariette. I am over from that blog where you found the "recipe blog name" for that lady, Mary. Mary's blog, where I came from is: http://marysrosecottage.blogspot.com
    (I hope I am not sounding confusing!) ANYWAY, I see that Mary did NOT become your Follower, as you requested! LOL! So I am your newest Follower in her place. :) You are a good person for trying to help her out. (If you go there you will see the comment I left for Mary!)
    Best,
    Gloria
    P.S. The photos of you and your Mom are beautiful. And your silver roses are so pretty!

  11. liebe Mariette,
    die silbernen Rahmen sehen wirklich sehr schön aus ... und die Fotos mit dem zauberhaften Lächeln Deiner Mama und von Dir verleihen ihnen gleich noch ein helleres Strahlen :-) wie hübsch ... ich mag es auch, Fotos in Rahmen, vor allem, wenn man einen guten Platz für sie findet, wo man sie immer sehen und bewundern kann!

    ach übrigens, Du hast ein neues Blog-Outfit ?! es gefällt mir sehr ...

    und danke Dir herzlich wieder für alle Deine lieben Kommentare, die Du in den letzten Tagen in meinem Blog hinterlassen hast; ich freue mich immer über Besuch von Dir ♥

    alles Liebe von der Rosabella

  12. Hi, Mariette. Thanks for visiting me and directing me to this post to see a photo of your Mom. I couldn't reply to you via email, because your comment on my blog that came to me via email showed "no reply comment." But I wanted to say that I'm so sorry about your being paralyzed from January. I am assuming it is from some accident. It must be hard for you... I will say a prayer for you. If you ever want to write, please do so. gloria.vincent@yahoo.com
    Best,
    Gloria
