Everyone who knows me well, knows that I am a huge fan of anything fantasy, fairy, mysterious, and full of joy. So after discovering Castlefest last year, I had to come back again this year. Again it was a blast and like last year the rain  poured down hard. But only for short times!  Most of the time we had sun! The temperature was perfect aswell.

This year Antonio and Anarosa came with us too. One of us had to go by bus because we could not fit all in the car and since Antonio was the only one who was not in a costume and not driving the car, he was to go with the bus. On the way back I was supposed to go with the bus though so I took normal clothes with me in the car. My mom had made an awesome blouse to go with my velours skirt and on top of that I was wearing my corset. Merel was wearing a dress with cape that my mom made and for herself my mom made a great costume as well.Since I didnt took any pictures of our selfs, I am going to have to steal the ones that John took of us and that she put on her Facebook.

Everyone had a great time and even Antonio loved the festival. He even said he might be wearing a costume as well next year, and me, I all ready ordered a pattern for a new costume for myself. I am going to need my mom’s help to make it though :P. For Anarosa I will make a pretty little costume too and Merel has her other dress we bought last year when we where there.

All the pictures of Castlefest that either me or Antonio took you can find right here together with the pictures I stole from my moms Facebook. 😛 Enjoy the pictures!!!

August 5 was my oldest Daughter her Birthday, since its vacationtime we didnt do a party for her, she rly never had a party because of that but we do always try to do something special on her birthday.  Ofcourse there are gifts too.She got a hairstyling set from phillips, which she has been wanting for 3 years allready, Ive gotten her the 20qball which rly is not so easy to get here in holland. We gotten our hair done on her birthday and later that day my mom came to visit us for her birthday. Merel loves  pizza so we ordered her a pizza. We picked up some indian food for ourselfs and  after wards ofcourse there was cake.

Today on august 6 My mom took us to the castlefest in Lisse. Thats some kind of fantasy/medievel event. So all three of us got dressed up. (Antonio stayed home looking after Anarosa) My mom bought Merel some kind of a gothic somewhat looking dress that she liked and although there where many lil  and bigger fairy statues, I didnt got myself to buy any of them because they where really  well priced. The store here in Amsterdam where we often go is cheaper and a lot more convienent so I dont have to drag an item thats very breakable all the time with me on an outdoor event. I have made ofcourse many pictures which you can find in my gallery, but since this was a something done for my daughter I will present you guys a picture of her here. The rest of the pictures u can find in the album CastleFest 2011 right here.
