Wedding Crashers

So no we didn't crash a wedding, but in true Jan style we were invited the night before by people we had just met. They either liked Jan or Belle. I wasn't quite sure but they insisted we bring Belle to the celebration. We had a great time dancing and eating an amazing spread of tasty specialties all made by the café owner, Mira. I even got to sneak a few video clips of everyone dancing and singing together. I will post the video once I figure how to upload it from my phone.

Secondhand shopping

I have totally become my mom's daughter. I am OBSESSED with the secondhand store in my town, the cirkle. It is has been fantastic for picking up odds and ends for my home. Especially since we sold everything, or gave it to my parents, back home. Today I found a set of copper pots and handmade cowboy boots. With a little elbow grease, lemon and salt I was able to bring some shine back to the pots. I am not saying that these are top of the line, but for what I paid for them it was worth investigating. TGIF everyone!!!

Sunday Morning Style

It is a beautiful morning here in Zelzate. Usually on Sunday's people go to the bakery and stock up on bread for breakfast, but we wanted to get out of the house. Belle, my beloved dachshund, and I were going to visit Gent, but decided it would be better to have a coffee at our favorite café, Markt 19. We were in luck! Today they were serving all their customers some dried ham directly from the leg. Such a treat. They always give us something yummy to snack on. Love spending Sundays here.
