should i continue to post about other people's
work

you can e-mail me if you would like a tea towel

Wishing you a nice day !

┩

the good news is...




that there are quite a few
still for sale
for which i'm putting together
a shop , opening next week

they will be the last dipped
tea towels for sale

the bad news for me was that they
only sold a few , contrary to the
high expectations they had

next time i'll act on
my own instincts
but it was still a good
thing i participated
+ to be invited

more tomorrow on other
things that happened

∴

i will have to get back to you later
so i can take some better pictures
i was to excited
but here's a glimpse in case they're gone by sunday

Have a nice weekend !

∵

finished the new tea towels for inside design
and dropped them off yesterday
so excited about it ...
i'm going to visit tomorrow so in the evening
i can show you pictures






my dear friend wanda is visiting from portugal today
and i'm so happy to see her again

hey girls , thanks for cheering for me
it wouldn't be the same without you !

okay about the post now
i have a little spare time because
the 40 liter pan has to heat up

+ kitchen tools from a finnish shop
called shez marius
intrigued by the wood
and love the shapes

via scoute

+ this blanket

an almost perfect house in antwerp ...

we decided to take our emigration plans
a little bit more serious





we're hoping to find something with a garden
like this gorgeous place

veronique branquinho designed a collection
for 3suisses
which is supposed to be coming to the netherlands
soon

the other great news is that i was made an offer
i couldn't refuse
so 'i'm very busy making dipped tea towels for inside design
starting the 11th of september through the 14th
organized by dutch elle living
they're going to be for sale in the shop at the lloyd hotel
during the event
i'm very thrilled about that because when it comes to
styling , dutch elle living is about the best you can get
over here

16 rooms will be redesigned by these designers
kamer means room
and lots of other locations will be participating as well

pictures of things i love to have around me
for bloesem's "your own private museum"


let's just say i'm very much into tools and into
materials like wood , metal , textiles and tiny stuff
like natural dye powder or leaves and flowers
to dye with
and not just because they're practical
but beautiful to me

the little milk pan is from zani&zani but there's nothing
to see on their website yet , designed by enzo mari
we bought it at a huge discount otherwise
it would've been something to only dream about
the other things are by people unknown to me
