It is the time of the week again, time to share some favourite things from the past week.
The meme I love doing most of all. I love sharing good moments, and I really love reading other people's favourites!
It's been a very busy week, the last week before my holiday in France starts. In fact, I will be leaving for France tonight. We will be spending two weeks in my beloved region of France, Provence. I promise I'll try to stay away from ditches, and although I will be away, this blog will have an update each and every day I'm gone. Blogger autopost will take care of that!
(I hope! )
1. Family. We had a lovely party with ( almost) the whole family last Saturday because of my niece's Holy Communion. It was nice to be together again, we had pizza, played bingo and enjoyed each other's company. One of my other nieces had a baby recently (which made my parents great grandparents by the way) so we got to meet her husand AND the baby. It was FUN!! I did a photo shoot with my niece Paulien and I will be sharing this very special series of pictures next Sunday.
2. I loved my new outfit. That's me in the middle there, yes.
3. A brunch at a chateau on Sunday. Great location, great food. What more should I say hmm?
4. The flowers I got from our guests a the brunch. I got two gorgeous bouquets of flowers. So thoughtful of them. I have enjoyed them all week.
5. Another award I got yesterday !! Phew!
This one came from Susanne at Living to Tell the Story, our wonderful Fave Five host, yes!!
It's the lovely blog award, and I'm honoured to receive such a beautiful award from her. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me Susanne!
I am passing this one on to ...Oh, dear, this is difficult, I have handed out so many the previous time?
Okay, after very careful consideration , drumrolls please ...
Mama at casa, dolce casa, for her beautiful photography
Spacedlaw for a Title? What title? Photography AND music lovely, just lovely
And Quilly Unshuttered Did you know Quilly is an excellent photographer? Check it out!
So I really hope I did not disappoint anyone, because I love ALL your blogs, and I'm going to miss reading you while I am away. But I will be very busy hunting new pictures. It will be the first time I'm going to have a REAL camera while I'm there and I can't wait to see what I can come up with this time! ( I'll have two actually, because I want to figure out the Canon Eos D40 DSLR while I'm there? ) Well who knows, I'm still not too old to learn? We'll see ...
But don't worry, I will have a post up every day while I'm away, and I'm very much looking forward to reading your comments when I get back!!

That brunch looks yummy. Your pictures are even yummier and your niece is lovely.

Enjoy your Holidays Jientje, I am looking forward to all your new pictures.
I went and got a new camera the other day, my old Nikon finally quit, it wouldn't open the lense at all.
I got a new Panasonic Lumix, I love it and will have some pictures to share soon.

Your niece (the young girl at bottom) is lovely. Enjoy France. Those cookies look good. Nice to see you, too.
I love your new header.
You have a beautiful family and your outfit is adorable.
Receiving flowers is always a blessing. As are family and friends.

What a wonderful week - sweet family times are the best!
Provence? Oh, I can hardly wait for those pictures!Have a marvelous time!
Wow, I had to do a double take when the picture of your niece scrolled up. I thought it was my niece and for a split second I was really confused as to what site I had pulled up! Wow, I'm telling you they could be sisters.
Your trip to France sounds so exciting. I would love to tour Europe one day. I have been to Hungary. Have a wonderful time. Looking forward to the pictures.
Your family time looks like it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Love those times.
I *love* your new clothes, and the baby--but all your photos and favourite things sound lovely. Your niece is gorgeous; my son's First Communion was just a few weeks ago too. Congratulations to her!
Amuse-toi bien en Provence!

Will miss your kind comments when your gone but at least your blog will continue to be new.
Again Jientje, so very beautiful. Your blog is so very relaxing. I love to see the pictures. I would like to take some like that, but am just beginning to take pictures really, with a little Nikon point and shoot.
Thank you for visiting me, too. Have a wonderful time in France. Au Revoir ? I think.

Beautiful collage! I can see that you had a great time together with your family. Have a wonderful vacation, Jientje. Take a lot of great shots. Congrats on the award to you and your nominees. Wow, I didn't know Quilly had another blog. I can see why you nominated it. Awesome! See you in the Blogosphere when you are back :)
Lovely blog and pictures. I think your english is quite impressive - anyone who is bilingual impresses me!
Have a great holiday.
I tried to post yesterday but 'something' (blogger?) wouldn't let me. I'd get to your page and my computer would say it was shutting down the page. Weird, huh? Anyway, here I am a day late to say these faves are wonderful!
