Tea for two

De Oude Huize invites you to a special occasion

Tea for Two

For our music we have invited Dorris Day

Dorris Day
With tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations
on weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear.

All the wonderful ladies that can make things happen.
The little tubles is dedicated to all our wonderful ladies.

This is dedicated to all our wonder Blog friends.
You that write your stories,
fill our lives with all the wonderful inspiration found on your blogs.
Thank you to all of you!

We also have to give thanks to all the children in our lives.
Thanks to Eva Ason

Thanks to the old things in our lives.
We are so blessed to have a lot of interesting things!

This one is to all the kings and queens that fill our lives.

We say thanks to the artists that are so much part of our lives.

This one is for all the lovers that pass through our doors.

Tea for the smart and glamorous.
The glitter and the romantic

This is for all the plain Jane's that keep our feet on the ground.

Thanks for featuring us on
The Thrifty Grove

De Oude Huize showed us all the repurposed treasures throughout her home.

Thanks for stopping

Till next time

Our Bed and Breakfast De Oude Huize Yard and our fascination with suitcases and anything hollow

Collecting is so much a part of our being.

Today we would like to share some of it with you. So anyone that is going on this ride . . . remember if you need more that one suitcase then you are a tourist and not a traveller.

A wonderful selection of a suitcase, binoculars and collar box
The suitcase shows a wedding dress and ostrich feathers.
The binoculars will help to view the Platberg mountain and the birds in the garden

It's great to just disappear grab a suitcase, switch the answering machine on and just go somewhere else.

What more do you need. Your gholfing gear and something to go horseriding!

In the words of St Augustine

"The world is a book and those who do not travel . . . read only one page"

Horseriding gear and tennis rackets. This will keep the calories down

"Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again: we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life" said Jack Kerouac.

A school case, a World War II bag and a medicine case.
Everything together.

An old Moorish proverb

"He who does not travel does not know the value of men . . ."

A picnic basket, some olives, Rum in a bottle, a box of cigars will make your day

A journey is like marriage.

The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.

Wise words of John Steinbeck

A hat box filled with hats and bags. Ready for anything thrown at you.

A wise traveller never despises his own country

Do not follow where the path may lead.

Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Words of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

A hat box, a grooming set, a box camera, a fan and a map or Europe to show the way.

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles
