Biggist Bookish Wish Came True… May 29, 2009

I have many bookish wishes. Usually those wishes are about books I want to own one day. My biggest wish is about a place I wanted to visit. Probably the most famous bookstore in the world… Shakespeare and Company in Paris, France. If you do not know what I’m talking about, read this post I did a couple of years ago.

Last week, I took my mom to Paris to make one of her big wishes come true. To visit the city and Versailles in perticular. I got the chance to visit Shakespeare and Co and I was blown away. It was exactly what I imagined it to be… When my mum rang my dad the next day, he asked if we managed to visit ‘my’ bookstore. She said that we did and that I ‘had the biggest smile and my face and could not stop smiling’.

I just thought I went to heaven. It was so special to finally visit this bookstore I have been longing to see for such a long time. Since I know a lot of you are also very passionate about this little shop, I took as many photo’s as I could to show you. Click on ‘more’ for the photo tour.

Busy, busy, busy… May 13, 2009

First, I have to say I am so sorry for not posting lately. Things have been pretty hectic. And I am trying to do some reading too. Amongst other things…

One of those things has nothing to do with reading. But is pretty fun all the same. I thought you might want to know what exactly. My husband and I are keen photographers. Another time consuming hobby. In fact, that is how we met. Shortly after we began dating, we took up a special photography project together. It involves a mouse and that is all I am going to say about it. I would like you to find out for yourself. Okay, I will give a hint with a photograph…

The project had its own place on the web for almost five years now, but that was not ideal. I have been busy making a new environment for it. You can check out the results on this (English) website: http://mouse.webklik.nl/ Make sure to sign the guestbook and bookmark if you like!
