RENSKE HAS BECOME A CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT MANIAC (SCRABBLE!)

Well, we can certainly beat around the bush a lot, but I don't think that's necessary. I've been completely obsessed with Christmas ornaments since this year.
Yes, life can change.
In this context, I really have to thank just one person and that is Jet. Because she is the one, and no one else, who pointed me to a little shop (notably just around the corner from me) with the most fantastic (Victorian) Christmas ornaments in the whole world. Really the whole world. The shop is called Affaire d’Eau, and when you're there, you just really want to die, it's so nice how cool those Christmas ornaments are.

“Yes, life can change.”

I’ll take a pick: eggplants, peas, storks with babies, little suitcases with Paris stickers on them, golden croissants, bananas (and the banana is the new pineapple so seize that opportunity), bunches of grapes, onions, oysters, an avocado… Make. Me. Crazy. Never before have I seen so many fun things for a Christmas tree, although they have been selling these ornaments at Affaire d’Eau for ages, so I must have been living under some rock again.

Moreover, I recently discovered primo deluxe Christmas ornaments at the coolest interior store in Amsterdam De Weldaad (with locations in Reestraat and at Noordermarkt) as well. Number one? Transparent Christmas ornaments with peacock feathers inside. That's what I say: run.
Furthermore, I've recently been going crazy daily on Marktplaats (check this then), because there's also a whole lot of nice stuff to find there. Hurry up, because the real Christmas fan has already started the big arduous search in October.
