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

{HAPPY EASTER to all my readers in 190 countries!}


  • Wishing ALL my readers a very HAPPY EASTER! 
  • Thanks for visiting my blog and let's hope that SPRING will start with this Easter Weekend! Literally a day of New Life.
  • Showing you my cute Easter lambs that will hold a place card or menu. Together with my porcelain Villeroy & Boch egg vases. 


  • Vintage egg platter that hold some of my porcelain Villeroy & Boch egg vases + real eggs.
  • Easter lambs and chicken salt & pepper that goes with the egg platter.
  • Don't you love these Victorian hybrid 'Rosebud' Pelargonium inside those egg vases?


  • The linen and hand crocheted tablecloth is from friend Marianne. Her Aunt made it for her and she gave it to me.
  • Those Victorian hybrid Pelargonium 'Red Rosebud' look just like real rosebuds!


  • Wish we could have those Victorian hybrid 'Rosebud' Pelargonium year round!

  • 'Appleblossom Rosebud' Pelargonium + real egg...


  • Nowhere is the egg; symbol of New Life, better incorporated than here at the Kruisherenhotel in Maasricht, The Netherlands. 
  • Just click here to see how they actually did integrate an EGG into their reception.
  • May Easter be the true symbol of New Life and also the symbol of Spring for all that live in the Northern Hemisphere that is.
  • Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy and Meaningful Easter!

  1. My dear friend Mariette,
    Your lambs are so sweet, I love the, and I liked very much the way they integrate the egg into the reception, how cool is that?
    I wish you also a happy Easter, and may God bless you and Pieter and all of your family as well.
    Lots of love
    Laura

  11. Hello Mariette, Happy Holidays to you and your family. I just looked up the Pelargonium flowers, and found that they are a type of geranium--always leaning something new.

  14. Your daffodil header is so very pretty. And the tablecloth made by your friend's mother is amazing! My friend, Mona, can crochet just about anything just by looking. She made the lampshade for me just by seeing something on the internet. Easter blessings to you, Tammy
