I am dutch, mom of two children, Italian husband, lived in Italy and now in Holland. Owner of a Dutch label called PINKA. I love nature, plants and animals. I am a monthly reader of the magazines www.vtwonen.nl and www.ariadneathome.nl I´d love to swap these magazines!! I love the shabby chic but minimalistic.Powder-colours, linens, white crochet.The homemade zakka-items are all my favourites. Love pure wood things and all Tilda-items like the fabrics and buttons.Pictures of Roses, the brands Greengate, Rice and Kath Kidston (no shops in Holland).

I mostly read and watch books, like magazines(home and living) ( home and garden) and craftbooks. Zakka-style magazines and Crafty Blogs as http://happielovesrosie.blogspot.com as also Decor8.

Sewing, Crochetting, Modge Podge, Fimo Clay, redecorate furniture, paper scraps

I listen to all types of music except when it is screamy and negative. It depends on the mood i am in. I mostly listen to the radio instead of CD´s.

I like white and grey linen as basic colors on which i put lightgreen, lightblue, pink, a bit of red. Greengate usually fits in my scale of colors.
