Good morning at the 16th off May, 2026.

 Good morning everyone, 

It's cold and rainy outside on this dark, stormy night.

de Boed has something new, beautifull, tropicall flowers made by the handcraft team from raglan cleaners. Bold coloured raglan cleaners, folded into pretty, pretty flowers. And they're real works off art, not half as expensive as the flower shop. 

Have you ever seen a minth coloured flower like that? I purchased two off these bushes as gifts, for my mother and my grandmother. Boed gifts are still affordable. All the other shops are as good as impossible, but the handcraft team is still a place to go for greeting cards and beautifull gifts. Silly and frumpy as they might appear to normal people, or under better economical circumstances. I always love to give and be a bit generous, but it's been made impossible by the current costs off everything. So I put on the hat off Iet Petite, and be generous with their hand made items on birthdays and occacions. And the upbring is for them. So it's usually worthit every euro. And not too expensive. These flowers where 3,50 euro's a bush. Modern flower shops are almost sucking blood for standard bushes off flowers, so these are a perfect alternative, as long as they're there. I should cut it, before I start to sound like a commercial, but I'm happy with these. They're beautifull! 

Also, I do my fine share in filling their gift shop with items I made myself. This week was for a necklace with beautifull green beads 

There are so much nice people who are fan off my works. Sometimes I do sell an item, though the tree rack is still a bit full. It makes me proud to see them hanging in the shop's window. On a tree- shaped rack, it's on the branches. It's really lovely. It's something totally cool to be actually sold there. 

I had remarkable delusions about people being a fan off the long green beads I work with recently, and them being totally sold out somewhere, so they can use them themselves to make items. I had a market stand with beads piled like fruits on my mind. I've never seen anything like it. But I can't figure out, so I think I'm a bit over-acting on these fans. But it would be cool. A market stand with beads sold like that, is never seen before. Usually these come in tiny sachets or pots. It's not like they would scoop them like candy like that. But it's what I came to think. I'm glad these beads come for free at de Boed's creativity room. I just can't owe up for work I made myself. But it's the creative process that matters here. That's why it can be sold for cheap. It's such a beautifull concept.  

Allright, that's about it for now - 

Thank you for reading.   

    

An attempt to get on the show

 

To: Aubridge Coppers and The History Team 

Dear Aubrey, 

Most people in your videos have offspring who signed them up for a resemblance in your history videos about the 21st century, I don't. But I enjoy the show, I have seen your videos in my dreams, I would like to assign work to it. 

I have several food video's and pictures on my facebook and my blog is full off stories for Vintage Belle and The War Era. I think I won't live long enough or be capable to sign up for them in this life, or let anyone else do it for me. So I write you ahead. It's important. I know the cause off the war, and I'm a poor Vintage Belle myself. I would like to be in The Very Best You Can Have, aside to all off the side video's you make about the war. I have numerous off material, fit for it. It would do such justice if you would add silly wee me to it. I'm a big fan already, and I'm proud you do justice to the cause. Finally. 

This century is a race I probably won't outrun. But I'd like to say, I adjusted my two cents to the cause. I would like you to do right to all these wrongs. Please, feel free to search through my Facebook and my blog, and use whatever can be off use. It has such big meaning to me, It has my blessing. 

Yours sincerely, 

Maaike de Vries.  

Good evening at the 22th off April, 2026.

 Good evening everyone, 

It's beautifull and sunny outside.

Today at creative activities, I made this bracelet. It turned out pretty, and it will be for sale at de Boed's shop. The entire profit will go to de Boed. I don't earn from it myself. It's done with their materials. 

It's pretty cool to see them for sale at de Boed's shop, though not much is sold. I think most people don't even have money for those. And a lot off people can't find their way to our giftshop. It's kinda hidden. It would be awesome if we'd actually have more clients with money, or costumers who get by to begin with. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading. 

Good morning at the 19th off April 2026, 2.

 

This is a picture off a bracelet I made recently, it worked out pretty cool. 

And this is what it looks like when they hang your jewelry on a rack in a small store. It's really awesome. 

I also finished this pretty little bracelet, it's for sale at de Boed's shop. All upbring will be for them. 

I just wanted to flaunt a bit with these. My inspiration to make jewelry softly came back. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading. 

Good morning at the 19th off April, 2026.

 Good morning everyone, 

It's gloomy and dark tonight.

Mensen hebben het te veel over 'Van goede huize.' komen, en scheppen op over afkomst die ze helemaal niet hebben, of doen alsof ze belangrijk zijn en gaan op hun strepen staan met gegoede manieren die niet van hun voorouders komen, maar uit hun eigen kop, waarin ze zichzelf wel heel erg belangrijk wanen. 

Maar laat me je dit vertellen: Er is niks mis met van gewone maar gedegen huize komen, en opgevoed zijn door wat gewone mensen. Vooral als je wat aan je opvoeding hebt, en de gewone mensen echt om je geven, en je handige dingen geleerd hebben. 'Van goede huize.' En er dan arrogant of nep bij zitten, met alleen het recht op een grote mond, is eigenlijk een beetje vulgair. 'Wat dat dan ook inhoud?' 

Je mag best trots zijn op je voorouders, je ouders of je komaf, als je het maar een beetje normaal houd, en niet overdrijft, en je hoeft je ook niet te schamen als men gewoon was in jouw familie. Nergens voor nodig om ergens dik over te doen. 

Ik kan me beroepen op gegoede voorouders, en een gewone boeren huize met een dorpse achtergrond. Dat is wat het is, niet meer dan dat. Ze waren vroeger gegoed, maar toen ik geboren werd waren het gewone mensen. En er is niks mis mee. Mensen zouden dankbaar moeten zijn voor normale dingen, dat het er is. Want zelfs het normale is niet vanzelfsprekend. En het heeft me met liefde opgevoed. Dat kan ook niet iedereen zeggen. 'Van gegoede huize.' word zo eigenlijk wel heel gewoon. Of iets om mee op te scheppen. Een stok om mee te slaan. En dat is niet altijd terecht. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading.  

Good evening at the 2nd off April, 2026.

 Good evening everyone, 

It's been a changing yet dreary day in The Netherlands. 

*

This week, I made this necklace at de Boed, community centre in Zaandijk, The Netherlands. And it will be for sale in their gift shop. I'm a bit more creative lately. At times, I got really inspired. I also designed tulip postcards. Also for sale in their gift shop 

They found my tulips very pretty. It's available to be send for everyone interested. My grandma is the biggest fan, she purchased the entire set. And the previous jewelry set has been sold. It's getting somewhere, people think I make pretty items. Inspiration is sacred. 

Aside from creativity, (With their materials, let's be honest, I could never afford that myself. And I personally don't profit from it, the upbring is entirely for their small gift shop) I'm a bit down in spirit, a bit more unstable and sensitive. I'm happy creativity flows, so it can breathe a little. But it's not easy. This time is not easy. I'm over-thinking and overly sensitive. It can be a bit hyper in my mind. Life is beautifull, but things are insanely painfull, and sometimes I try to figure out mankind, but it usually hurts and I still don't have a clue. Mankind is cruel. Difficult... I wish for a better climate in it, but it feels impossible. I'm so gratefull for Leviaan. They keep me standing while I would break from it otherwise. Leviaan is the care home organisation I live in. It hurts big time, always having people against me, and the world being so cruel. It feels lonesome. Inspiration feels gratefull. Or so to say, I feel gratefull for inspiration. The card set's name is Zaandijk Beltaine, but I think they won't accept, and I did not make it the official name. Tulips at the month off may, with the sun in Taurus and the moon in Scorpio and the Beltaine energy in the air off floral Zaandijk feels magic. Almost given from the gods. The fairies out and the garden off our place being so beautifull, covered in flowers with the cherry blossoms out. It's god given. It looks magical, and it makes me feel gratefull to be alive. People might think it's a bit out off place, ancient magic and typical Dutch floral beauty, but I think it connects perfectly when it's out in the month when it's supposed to blossom. It's spectaculair. Everything else goes backwards and is impossible nowadays, but the gardens bloom lovely. Nature is inspiring, and gives strength. It doesn't withhold answers, sometimes it's what I overthink myself, what comes to me, and it becomes how I personally see things and how I think about things. I'm a bit phillosophicall. It triggers both and makes me come to interesting conclusions at the same time. It might be a little bit strange, weird little me... Overthinking is difficult. To keep a bit off track off life, I like to keep things simple in life. Simple, yet meaningfull... Everything else is already complicated. It's easily a bit too much with everything going on in my head. And it hurts... litterally. I always have headaches from overthinking. It's why I'm in here. Life is difficult to figure out. I wish I could find a clue. But probably, it's impossible, and that's why I'm in here. Due to an over-active mind. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading.   

Good evening at the 25th off March, 2026, 2.

 

Good evening everyone,

I handcrafted these myself, a necklace and a bracelet, from random inspiration, just out off nowhere, just the memory off making jewelry, and the inspiration off the materials they had made me do it. It's been ages since I made jewelry. These are for sale at de Boed's shop. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading.
