Monday Mood Board : Hydrangea

The Hortensias or Hydrangeas are starting to blossom here; I love them. And they are very succesful in my garden. I even think about exchanging my roses, that are always full of plant louse, for hortensia. Also I found out that there are many varieties, so a mixed variety Hortensia garden looks nice to me. Work for the autumn ! But back to the blossoms, here some sweet Hortensia pictures from four of our European Street Team members on Etsy.

Monday Mood Board: Claying

Yesterday I decided to try a bit of claying; I had bought some air dry clay a while ago and yesterday it was "ripe". Found a lovely place in the garden, in the sun and out of the wind, put my table there and clayed. It is great fun, very relaxing and very tactile; love it. Therefore, I am still in a claying mood today and show you here some gorgeous clay creations from our European Street Team sellers on Etsy !

Monday Moodboard: Weeds

This weekend I fought the weeds in my garden. I overdid it a bit.... Had already pain in my right elbow from the PC and the sewing, and yesterday the pain became very severe. Could not sleep at all last night. Can't do a thing with my right arm now :(( So, I decided that weeds are beautiful ! Our European Street Team sellers on Etsy do show that clearly !

Monday Moodboard: Beach Weather

This weekend it was gorgeous warm and sunny weather here up in the north of Germany. We went to an art market and thereafter to the beach. It was still peaceful, no tourists yet, and little Peggy ran and played with some other dogs. So, from the spring mood of last week to a real summer beach mood; look at some summer beach finds from our European Street Team sellers on Etsy.

Monday Moodboard: Grapes

This weekend I did a lot of work in the garden because the sun was shining. I cleaned, clipped and pruned. Except for the wine grapes, they are new in my garden and I have no idea how to prune them. Have to find that out ! So, being in a wine grape mood at the moment, have a look at these gorgeous grapes from some of our European Street Team sellers on Etsy.

Monday Moodboard: Renovation

This weekend I started to clear the former sewing room upstairs because it must become our new bedroom. Hubby and friend want to start with insulation this week, so I could not postpone it any longer. Strange enough the room is not so small at all when it is empty :) If you are also in a "renovating the bedroom" mood, have a look at these cool sleeping stuff from some of our European Street Team sellers on Etsy.

Monday Moodboard: Gardening

This weekend was a gardening weekend; cleaned the front garden from rubbish, pruned the berries and clipped the bushes. The result was that I suddenly saw a lot of crocus, snowdrop and winter aconite flowers ! If you are also in a gardening mood, have a look at these gardening stuff from some of our European Street Team sellers on Etsy.

Monday Moodboard: Photo-drama

A few days ago I started to retake the photo's from my wood jewelry line for the Etsy kraplap shop. Some of my EST friends helped me to find my own style, and finally we had some sun, so it had to be done now. But despite my energy and good will (although I knew better), it was again a desaster :((( Most of the zillion pics I took were too light, too dark, or unsharp. I really start to loose all my hope that I ever will have great pics, sigh .... If you are also struggling with photos, you know what I am talking about. I wish I could take pics like these from some of our excellent European Street Team photographers on Etsy.

Monday Moodboard: Spring Cleaning

A few days ago I started to reorganize my postcards, stamps and other collections. I found lots of stuff I even did not know I had it :) And lots of stuff I don't collect anymore. And lots of stuff that is not my taste anymore. So, my vintage shop will get lots of new entries in the coming weeks ! I am not much of a cleaning person, so this is the closest I'll ever come to a spring cleaning mood .... If you are a spring cleaning person, then here's some help from some of our European Street Team members on Etsy.
