(p)reparation

On Sunday next week, May 19
I will be at the art fair in Buren


Buren is a small historic town
just between the two big rivers that run across Holland
east to west (in the "Betuwe")
Buren is called "Oranje-stad" because 
William of Orange (ancestor of our Royal family)
married Anna van Buren in 1551

The art fair is held in the garden of the former orphanage
(now the "Marechausseemuseum")


I finally found a good way to show
my tiny felted birds on small wooden discs

The wren and the long-tailed tit were the first.


And there are more textile necklaces in the making


a blue one and a green / turquoise one.

I still have a hole week !
*

Near the front door we had some serious trouble
with the sewerage, so that had to be taken care of ...

I really feared for this beautiful shrub
(don't remember the name but it is in full bloom just now !)
so I pruned it considerably smaller ! 


Digging a BIG hole was needed
but :

the man came up with a brilliant solution !

(pfffffffft ... shrub saved !)
