Yummy Ginger Cake
Since years, this is my favourite cake. Easy to to make, with a warm golden color and a pleasant spicy flavor – just the right thing to enjoy with a cuppa tea on a rainy sunday!
I used ginger syrup, which my sister in law gave me as a gift. Unfortunately the hubby hates ginger, I do not know why. Well, who wants a grumpy hubby at home?? So I reserved him a thick slice of banana bread. This should keep him happy.
New Cupboard and Cabinet for my Things
For my upcoming birthday, I made it very easy for my husband. No searching and thinking, he just had to pay for a couple of new items to store some of my things. So we went to Amsterdam, to Van Dijk. For me, this is just the best „shabby chic“ furniture place around. Luckily for my hubby the drive is long and the space in the car is limited so things can not get totally out of hands. But what he doesn´t know yet, I am planning to re-visit soon.
The Blue Door Project
It all started with a friend of mine saying that he had a vintage blue door that I might like. Of course, bring it on. So, a couple of hours later the door was delivered. But what to do with it ? Is it going to be a table or stay a door ? I don´t know yet. I was only sure that it needed some additional „vintage“. So Ina helped me trying to cover it with roses for it´s new yet to be determined purpose. I promise, I´ll let you know the minute I know what it is. Due to the perfect weather, it was so much fun finally working outside again, so we took some more pictures of the ‚homeless‘ cat observing our activity (aka sleeping) and our house in the spring evening sun.
