Back to my series "My Things". For one thing I felt like having a change and secondly I had a bit of a splash out on a few new aquisitions that asked to be painted! So here's the first of them, a pair of bright green patent shoes that I spotted in Holland, designed by the famous Dutch designer "Fred de la Bretoniere". I absolutely LOVE them!

This old tin is decorated with paintings of typical Dutch sceneries and was brought back from Amsterdam by my greatgrandmother at the end of the 19th century. I don't know what she used it for, but we keep our clothes brushes in it.

A few weeks ago, on one of these balmy summer evenings here in the Dordogne, I was invited for dinner on the terrace by some dear friends. Not only was the food delicious but I also had the pleasure to sit opposite this beautiful young lady from Holland, who bears the not less beautiful name "Melodie".
