The balls of the Queen

Last week it was carnival and altough I don't live in the part of Holland that really celebrates it, we still did. We didn't wore funny clothes, but if there's an excuse for a party, we will take it ;-).. It was nice. Not great. But making fun pictures makes up for a lot. That night Holland also won the first (and for now last) golden medal with ice skating at the Olympic Games, so we were in a good mood :-)

Btw. Look at F.'s greater than great watch! J. and I got it for her in New York last year for her birthday that she celebrated only a few weeks ago.. F. is the biggest MJ fan in Holland, so we knew this gift would be the best ;-)!

The ballerina

Two days ago I finally celebrated Sinterklaas with my friends. We went out to dinner in a nice Greek restaurant in my home city. A few weeks before we draw lots and I got my friend S. We had to buy for each other a gift and we also had to make a poem. S. made a list of things she liked to get and on that list she had written a cook book for pasta, earrings or a necklace. I wanted to give her something pretty, so this (see picture) is what I got for her. I personally really love it and wouldn't mind getting it ;-)! Unfortunately S. was sick, so I don't really know if she liked it too.. I got it from this webshop. I think that she makes the prettiest things..
