The streets of Amsterdam are always filled with garbage and often it's of a good quality
Saturday we came across a cardboard box filled with books and in one of the books I found
these pictures by Rineke Dijkstra.
The pictures were part of a project to raise awareness about children in asylum seekers centers in The Netherlands in 1994.
Rineke Dijkstra doesn't have a website , but here you can see more photographs and here's an interview with her.
My favorite garden would be a piece of land with just grass and cherry trees in it.
This tree is standing in my neighborhood and when I pass by it I stop
and look up into it.
I hope the picture gives you a bit of that sensation
These pictures are from the winter 07/08 collection by Bernhard Wilhelm
found at Totem a French press agency for fashion.
Another wonderfully weird thing I came across was the music by CocoRosie
Here you can listen to some of their songs

This project called Stills by Scholten&Baijings from 2004-2005
was done in collaboration with the Textile Museum in Tilburg.
I really love the textile and the colors..I'm mentioning it now because
they now have found a manufacturer : Ahrend a Dutch office furniture company
famous for the "Revolt"chair by Friso Kramer.
I'll leave you with this picture by Dutch photographer Ellen Kooi

I'm going to a birthday party later today of the daughter of my cousin.
It's her 9th birhday, I hope she likes my present.
I bought it at Egg Mercantile in Amsterdam , i think it was Irene of Bloesem
who first mentioned this shop...I'm re-discovering my own city...
I had the pleasure to see these ceramics from Hering Berlin in Vivian Hann'sStore in Amsterdam. They're even more beautiful in the flesh so to speak.

I found these spoons by Tanja Friedrichs in the archives of
Galerie RA. They were part of an exhibition called SPOONS
in 2003
Her project is called Re-spoons , because the spoons are made out of old plastic bottles
This is the only link I could find on her
Wanted to show you my new tea towel by Studio Job
Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel.
The dilemma I have with beautiful tea towels is that I
like to have them but I don't want them to get dirty
...which is unavoidable...
