  6. Luckily for us dahhling.. the very mild weather (it has been mid 70's all week!) we have during this "winter" season in the Garden allows us to do more than dream of an outdoor life right now, but your examples of conservatories certainly does!

  7. Hi dear Greet, it's been a long time! I have so much catching up to do after a month and a half of being away! I'm sorry I missed your giveaway. It's just the same though, as I never win anything! Anyway, these conservatories are really stunning. I love everything about them except that buffalo head... it kind of scares me!
    I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you all the best for this brand new 2012. May your beautiful posts inspire us as they have always done!

  10. Congratulations to Cindy!

    Thank you for the book recommendation. I will be purchasing it today!

    I too am looking forward to Summer.
    Steve and I are starting to make our plans to visit Provence at the end of June.
    We're so excited!

    I loved seeing the pictures of the Belgian dinner. It looks like it was a wonderful evening.

    Happy week, my friend.

  12. Jeetje, lieve Greet, wat is het hier enorm genieten op je blog! Ik zit met open mond naar al deze prachtige foto's te kijken. Ik heb helaas een paar posten van je gemist...maar des te meer vreugde om het nu allemaal te bekijken. Het "Exclusive Country House"..wat een waanzinnige gevel! Prachtige interieurs en deuren..geweldig allemaal. Inderdaad, nu januari bijna ten einde is, komt het voorjaar steeds meer in zicht. Nu nog hopen dat het ook een vroeg voorjaar word.

    Dankjewel voor je reactie en dat je me aan je blog toegevoegd hebt, lief van je! Ik heb vanmiddag reactie per email toegevoegd, wellicht werkt het haha.
    Ik ben wat minder gedreven in het posten hoor? Het is maar net hoeveel tijd ik heb..want het is erg verslavend als je éénmaal aan het bloggen slaat;-)

    Congratulations to Cindy

    Fijne avond!
    Liefs Helena
