Shell wreath








On our holiday I was collecting shells from the beach, that's what I always do. Even when we live on the beach I can't come home without a nice shell. But the one I took from our holiday are really special so I made a shell wreath from it, as a souvenir from a lovely holiday. It's hanging outside in the garden on the outside shower door.
Wish you all a good weekend , we have to celebrate something but I'll tell you all after the weekend.

Collection




Do you have a collection? I think we all have. I'm collecting bird houses (most are from garage sales) and put them all in the garden as a garden decoration, not that I have a lot but you have to start somewhere isn't it.
The best one is the bird caravan that I found in a great shop in Eastborne close to Wellington. If I was a bird I definitely should choose that one to live in.
And do you like to join me on a walk true my garden, here we go...

Introducing

This is the first time that I write in my blog.
I am Jacoline, me and my family emigrated to New Zealand from The Netherlands 3 years ago.
I can tell you, we went through some hard times in those 3 years, but we found our dream.

We bought a lovely home close to the beach. I spend a lot of time in our garden which has a lot of fruit trees, a nice vegetable garden and great flowers.

I love to shop in secondhand shops and garages sales are the best invention ever.
My days are filled with craft, cooking , baking and of course my 3 girls.
I try to have a beachwalk every day and on wednesday I join the quilt club.

We are still busy with rebuiling the house to make it a great home.
We like traveling and like to discover our new country.
I keep you updated with new stories, recipes, ideas and pictures every week.
