In our veranda we enjoy looking at our sun catcher with quote from Edward W. Bok that we purchased at the Bok Tower, highest point in Florida.
Just want to share it with you here:
Below my Hand Crocheted Fleur de Lys curtains...
Together with the Delftware houses we collected over the years from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines it looks great!
Wishing you a lovely day and thanks for your visit and comment!

Edward Bok was an excellent writer, he published the first woman's magazine. He also came from The Netherlands, as a young boy. Proud of him!
Happy weekend to you and yours,

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedie Häuserreihe an Deinem Fenster sticht mir ins Auge - aus welchem Material sind sie? Sehr schön!
Und Deine Vorhänge - einfach toll! Die Geduld möchte ich mal haben!
Der Teppich erinnert mich an diese typischen holländischen Fliesen, gefällt mir auch sehr!
Liebe Grüße und einen schönen Sonntag!

Liebe Sara,
DeleteDie kleine Häuschen sind alle von KLM, jedem Jahr geben die eine echtes Kanalhaus aus in Delftware.
Da KLM die erste Fluglinie in der Welt war sind es schon manche Jahre seid den 7. Oktober 1919 wo sie anfingen. Jedes Jahr auf das Datum kommt ein neues Häuschen dazu. Ich kaufe sie seid Jahre auf Marktplaats.nl nach einige Monate da sie im Anfang wahnsinnig teuer angeboten werden! Die waren gefüllt mit Jenever aber wir haben sie alle leer. Einige Länder bieten sie auf die KLM Flüge auch leer an...
Der Teppich in Blau, passte genau zu unsere Veranda und ist in Fleur de Lys design und aus Wolle.
Ganz liebe Grüße zum Sonntag!
Mariette
Leuk die hangers voor het raam. De KLM huisjes staan daar ook prachtig. Mooie sfeervolle ruimte.
ReplyDeleteFijne zondag, lieve groet
Beste Willy,
DeleteJa, het is en blijft een heerlijke ruimte, met name om lekker te kunnen haken of borduren...
Ook nog een fijne zondagmiddag en liefs,
Mariette
The room looks comfortable. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
DeleteYou bet this is a comfortable room; we both love it!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely quote. It looks perfect in the window of your veranda which always looks so peaceful and serene...a perfect place for afternoon tea.
Enjoy your Sunday.........*s*
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteThank you and it indeed is a lovely quote by Edward Bok!
We love our veranda, it is at the perfect spot and yes, for afternoon tea it is great!
Hugs and happy Sunday to you,
Mariette
I LOVE those curtains that you crocheted. I remember other projects you were doing and I was just struck with admiration at your ability and talent. They re beautiful...all the crocheting you have done that I have seen here at the blog. Love seeing any or all of them.
ReplyDeleteDearest Katie Isabella,
DeleteThank you for your kind words! Wish I could find time again for doing some fine crocheting, like making handkerchiefs. There's so much to do always... This veranda is a dream for doing such work.
Sending you both hugs,
Mariette
The sun catcher is beautiful. I love the elegant design with flowers and birds surrounding the quote! I also admire your home - beautiful decoration and flowers!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new week, Mariette!
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteWish you one day could sit with your husband in our veranda, to share a cup of green tea with us!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Hugs,
Mariette
