Kerst op de Kaap 2010

 Kerst op de Kaap 2010

Had a very cold but cozy saturday.
Lots of people came by
neighbours, "de breimeisjes", friends
and that really made my day


 Sales went slow
but the warm atmosphere and the superbe christmastree
made everything okay :)

A special thank you for M. and B.
:)

And now: home with the kids
time for thinking and making
