I had so much fun yesterday, wandering the streets of Amsterdam and finding so many great scapes to photograph. Above is one of my favourites from the day, but there is plenty for show & tell which I plan to separate into wanders for you, with my favourite eateries, boutiques and shopping streets of Amsterdam. Perhaps next week I can get to this, but for this week, I have a few other treats up my sleeve. So lets get to it!

PS Josyln and her daughter Audrey continue to inspire me so: Check out Audrey’s fabulous Woodland Fairy Party, complete with woodland wings, woodland fairy crowns and fairy huts. And her list of things to learn before I turn 6 is remarkable. If only I’d thought of writing a list back then, perhaps if I had, I would be able to whistle and play checkers today.

PPS And Joanna from A Cup of Jo interviewed me recently on the topic of how to create a sexy + romantic bed for her fabo new sex and relationships blog called Smitten for Glamour Magazine. Click here to read my bed-making tips, thanks Joanna!

stop the press!

The sun is shining in Amsterdam! I am so overwhelmed by it actually, my head is in a spin. I had plans to sit here at this computer and do some much needed work but I’m not. I am dropping everything, and heading out the door to wander around the city in the sun (avec camera, so technically it can be classed as work right). I just snapped the photo above a moment ago, to prove to you that my sweet friend is truly shining. Oh dear sun, please please stay for a while! I will love you long time.

PS Promise to show & tell when I get back, promise.
