counting down till XMAS

Still eight days left and it will be the 1th of december. The day our youngest son will celebrate his seventh B-day and the start of counting down the days until XMAS. 

Recently I collected some great DIY advent calenders on Pinterest. Still one week left to make your own personal one!

Check my advent-pinterestboard for more inspiration!

By the way on 1 december the episodes of 'Christmas with Linus' will be on television again. 

One of our most favorite pre-XMAS traditions!

Today I announced the winner of the give-away on my blog published recently. In this blogpost I want to thank the ones who reacted on the give away and the ones who made it possible: DaWanda and Cotton&Stone!

The winner of the black Owl tea towel is Anna-Rosa from Greece, blogger on My Lifebox. Anna-Rosa is a student of architecture, believing in less is more, blogging about design, DIY, recipes and a tiny bit of herself. Recipes like a traditional Greek fish soup!
Discovering I was already following her on twitter, but not on pinterest, instagram, bloglovin or facebook, but I do now! Inspiring you to do this too!

Reading the new online vtwonen magaloque I really fell for the new dip&dye products. Like beddings, cushions and a serving tray in four beautiful colors: coral, orange, blue and grey.
To take a look at this new vtwonen collection visit the vtwonen-webshop or click and buy in the online magaloque.
