‘Tis the season of pop-up shops, that I can tell you. I have one more to write about this week, but first let me talk to you about my visit to The Plantshop this weekend. I wrote about it before, where I almost couldn’t contain my excitement, so imagine what happened when I actually set…

This past week included our second wedding anniversary and a visit to my friend Stijn and his cats at his new pad in Ghent.
