{MY CLOSET LOOKS LIKE A NEAT STORE}

On July 21, I did install the first Shelf Dividers into my closet. We all seem to struggle with Wardrobe Solutions and for keeping a neat stacked shelf in our closets. After doing laundry, folding things and putting them back on the shelf - one stands there and looks at the jumbled mess after you have taken out certain items to wear...
Neat stacks just topple.

BUT I was lucky to find this great solution; at Solutions Catalog!

SHELF DIVIDERS in Chrome Finish

They slide onto the shelf and are just high enough for keeping a stack from toppling.

Neatly stacked by color, looking almost like a neat store; except my items have no price tag...!☺

 I only had ONE problem, I loved them that much that I had to order more!

These built in closets are quite the norm here in the USA; they open with two folding doors for easy access. Our doors are the Charleston style, just like we have the doors in our bedrooms, bathrooms and also the solid oak indoor window shutters from Historic Windows in Virginia. Too bad they are no longer available, so we're lucky for having them. 

OF COURSE I WOULD AS A  CONSULTING SERVICE RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO A FRIEND!

GET YOURS TOO...

{Royal Dutch Airlines 91 years on October 7}

Today is the KLM Royal Dutch Airline's 91st anniversary as they started on October 7, 1919.

Just by coincidence did I take today a photo of this special edition house that friend Ellie carried in her luggage for me. She arrived on September 2nd with KLM Dutch house # 90 and its special book. I'd purchased that on line, as we no longer are in the air as Royal Wing members... We've done our share!

Not all Delftware houses from KLM were filled with Dutch gin...

They do line the windows in our veranda; all 90 of them since Ellie got me the latest.

That is, today house # 91 was added to the collection and I will certainly add that one too.

At the last window there still is some space left...

Beautiful gift box with House No. 90 and the special book.

Hardcover with cloth and with a special ribbon you can lift the book out of its box; very clever design!

 On the cloth cover, there is a raised house in a kind of vinyl; so beautifully done.

How unique...

Some history, written on October 7, 2009.

Husband Pieter's total miles of 1,262,856 on NWA; partner of KLM at that time. That is a LOT of hours/months in the air with only ONE airline! So we got to know KLM very well in the skies, being International Consultants.

Pieter's travel map on TravBuddy. He got to see 19% of the countries of the world! Click on the hyperlink to see it on his Facebook page, there you can view the actual countries being listed below the map.

My 1,133,546 total miles on NWA. A little bit less, as Pieter did travel for Campbell Soup, being their VP Training and Development for the Mushroom Division. He went by himself to New Zealand and also on a trip to China, via Japan as a delegate from People to People Citizen Ambassador Program.
For the rest I joined him, as Pieter had requested that he could take his wife along on any trip longer than 8 hours. Thereby declining his right to travel first class on flights longer than 8 hours.
Thus I got to visit my parents quite often in those five years, because of this smart clause in his contract. For Campbell it even saved them money as economy class was far cheaper, even for the two of us.

For me it yielded no more than 15% of the countries of the world. See my TravBuddy travel map to view the actual countries listed below this map. These are countries where we actual traveled to; not just landed at the airport...
That was the 91th birthday of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and we owe them a lot of gratitude!
