Well, to be honest: I did expect a few people <span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">to like</span></span> <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/heim-tiny-houses.html" target="_blank">my new houses</a>, but I was a bit overwhelmed with the reactions when I launched my little village at the <a href="https://www.showup.nl/" target="_blank">showUP</a> trade fair. What a wonderful recognition after a summer of hard work! I hope you like them too!<br />

They are genuinely prefab: pre-punched, pre-creased and with windows that have already been broken out. Even the interior walls have been provided with wallpaper in a trendy black & white print. The only thing that you, as a contractor, need to do is to glue the walls and roofs together where indicated.</span></i></div>

Will your houses form a convivial village square on your table, or a ramrod-straight street on your windowsill? Will you string them into a festive garland, or give one away as a house-warming gift?</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this fall I was determined: no small <a href="https://www.showup.nl/" target="_blank">showUP</a> stand with a standard table for JM anymore!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted a real stand, spacious and custom made for me and my designs. I had a long list of requierments this new stand should meet, but I felt so insecure and therefore kind of clueless. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I asked <a href="http://www.jennapostma.nl/" target="_blank">Jenna Postma</a> for help. She's a designer with a good spacial insight, experienced in store design and she had the guts to make some changes I was hesitating about. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She came up with the concept of coloured blocks with racks for the designs that should hang. The designs itself played the main role (requirement 1) and the packages were half hidden in the niches in the back of the blocks. The back wall was almost empty: 3 shelves only, with the 3 new designs on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With this concept Jenna created the minimalist and tranquil look & feel I wished for so badly. I changed the colours, the size of the blocks here and there and changed the layout a bit, but left her idea for the back wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trade show partner, my dear husband Peteer built and painted everything. I was so happy with it. Loved the ochre brown with the nude color on the blocks, loved the visual tranquility ánd the spaciousness. So thanks Jenna, for giving me this great push in the right direction.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the rain is pouring on my roof today I think back on how this summer was. I selected some pics from my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juriannematter/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> feed to give you an overview... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I worked hard this summer: I had no vacation, but lots of morning walks, I reached my goals (yay) and Peter and I even spent a day or two at the beach and some hours in museums here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just launched 3 new designs at the large (it was mega this time!) <a href="https://www.showup.nl/" target="_blank">showUP</a> trade fair, I will write a blogpost about them later. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peter and I will go on holiday to Crete next week! We will leave the boys at home for the first time ever... (with a clear and signed contract about 'home alone parties', cleaning up, etc). I really have to make a start to let this go, for my own sake. I need this vacation - walking the gorges, reading books, snorkling - soooo much!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In November 2016 I designed the new SS17 collection for <a href="http://www.ompak.nl/">Ompak</a> (giftwrap paper wholesale company). It is always funny and a bit weird to have a head full of sun, bathings suits, beach life, and butterflies while the rest of the world is counting down for Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this collection I aimed on a vintage Cote d'Azur beach life feel. In my head I saw a beach in the early sixties, bohemian jet-set, Picasso, Alain Delon, Audrey Hepurn in a coral/white striped bathing suit, wearing huge glasses... to get me in this mood I listened to the summer hits from Françoise Hardy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The butterflies and flowers (called Fields of Joy) were launched 2 years ago and I thought it was time for a make over!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NEW colours, some new graphics and a new name: <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/here-comes-the-sun.html">Here comes the SUN</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One set contains 20 easy pop out flowers and butterflies, the price is €7.95 per set and they are available in my <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/here-comes-the-sun.html">webshop</a> NOW!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can go wild with the possibillities of this set of 20 easy pop-out butterflies and flowers.</div>

I am so looking forward to attend <a href="http://www.creativelife.nl/">Creative Life</a>, a brand new event with a beautiful concept!<br />
<br />
GIVE AWAY <br />
This week I'll give a away 2 free entry tickets for you and your friend.. How to win them? You can find more information (in Dutch) on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juriannematter/">instagram</a> feed!</div>

LOCATION & DATES</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Creative Life will be held in the impressive Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht on March 24, 25, 26.<br />
The photo (below) was taken during our meet & greet last Monday. A real industrial cathedral: huge, high and light. </div>

CONCEPT <br />
This event is all about INSPIRATION. A super long <a href="http://www.creativelife.nl/deelnemers/">list</a> of Holland's most inspirational creative entrepreneurs will be present. Most of them will be selling their (handmade) products, crafts materials, or tools. A great part of them - and this is the key of the concept - will be giving workshops. So next to some shopping there will be lots of activities and things to learn and experience...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
WORKSHOPS </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Are you into learning new things? For example how to make your personal letterpress poster, a bottle garden, or do Japanese Sashiko embroidery? The prices per workshop are low, so you can easily attend a couple of them during the day. Check the workshop list <a href="http://www.creativelife.nl/workshops/">here</a>.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
GUEST SPEAKERS </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There will be some very interesting speakers as well. For example Suus Slee from <a href="http://www.foodbandits.nl/">Foodbandits</a>, foodblogger and instagram expert, will be there to share her knowledge, tips and tricks about social media. I know her and I can tell you: she is good at it and we can learn so much from her!<br />
Don't miss it!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With this last tea towel I found out that designing on black is actually not easy at all! The contrast is high, and because of that small and complicated patterns will hurt your eyes. I had a hard time designing a print that didn't make me feel dizzy looking at it. I had to find something with simple lines, preferably something from a veggie garden and I found...a bean stake!<br />
I am happy with this second black tea towel called <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/tea-towel-beans.html">BEANS</a>, it's lovely and graphic and you won't see any stain on it after drying the spaghetti-sauce pan!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #888888; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">My tea towels carry the GOTS organic logo and the Fairtrade label! These aren’t just any old pictograms. The entire chain – from the seed to the stitching done in the factory – meets the strict organic and fair-trade requirements. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #888888; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Somehow black in fabric influences the absorbtion a bit, so - other that the white ones - the black tea towels should be washed a couple of times before<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> they dry well</span>. Great thing is: the black does NOT fade at all! Because I was afraid of that, I had the manufacturer do 24 laundry tests and the results were amazing: pitch black!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the succes of the <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/twig-leaves.html">Twig leaves BLACK</a> last winter I wanted to design a spring sister for this product. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was around Christmas that I printed and cut at least 10 different spring wreaths in shades of greenish and blue-ish grey. I hung them on the wall, took pics and sent those to my assistent Kim for feedback. So happy to have her, she's such a great help, since this job can be so lonely at times! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the definite colour I chose the most blue shade I found in the Pantone colour guide. I found out I like blue more than green, at least as a paper design on my wall. I had already orderered thousands of rolls of white wire instead of black, just to force myself in a certain soft/sweet/spring direction. This design had to be something really different!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a new fleet and I am so happy with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first boats - Rite de Passage - were sold out (yay, all 7500 sets!) and I decided to give my initial idea/design of the floating light boats again a try... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I once dreamed of white boats, with a print in a rare kind of 'watermark' ink, that you can only see through when the candle inside is lit. Well, that ink is so rare it doesn't even exist, except in my own mind ;-). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I had to find a die cut alternative. The first 5 die cuts that I designed were refused by the cutting company: too complicated, the machines wouldn't survive it! Laser cutting was out of the question: the boats would become far too expensive for my consumers!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must say, it was a struggle finding a balance between estethics, cost price and also doabilty for the people who were going to buy them. But I managed to 'kill my darlings' and accepted to work with the given limits and impossibilities. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For that and for the result I feel proud! So here is: <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/rejse-floating-lightboats.html">REJSE!</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heading towards the longest night of the year I look back on the past season. How I love autumn!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above you see a selection of my<a href="https://www.instagram.com/juriannematter/"> Instagram</a> pics. You are welcome to follow me!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I said goodbye to summer, admired the golden leaves that made the trees look like they were on fire, walked through foggy landscapes early in the morning, and I packed the first christmas presents to send to friends far away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Autumn is my mom's season, she is born in October. We all hoped with her she would leave this world while the leaves were red and brown... For her birthday she asked a double pneumonia! She lost everything, except her humour. But it is obviously not up to us. Instead of packing a fatal illness I made her an autumn leave garland with my home designed <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/nl/leaves.html">leaves</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the season Donald Trump got elected, the Syrian war got in a decisive phase and innumerable civilians were on the run or trapped in the war and lost their lives...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I more and more tend to cocoon in my mini world with colours, art, good food, designs, my family, friends and not to forget the wonderful nature behind my house. Fortunately this tendency is balanced by a son who is very politically aware, who follows all the trouble spots in the world, knows the military strategies and has strong (adolescent!) opinions about all the international relationships.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And of course I worked - and I worked a lot - like always! Designing summer collections for <a href="http://www.ompak.nl/">Ompak Packaging</a>, my own running business in between (with the always great help of <a href="http://atnumberthirtyseven.blogspot.nl/">Kim</a>, my assistant!) and I attended my very first consumer event. Still don't know if it was worth all the energy, but I learned a lot and met some wonderful people: my real customers!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking back I can say: bye autumn, you had everything! Laughter, love, worries and work. Welcome winter! Can't wait to see what you are going to bring us...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When they phoned me some time ago I was rather sceptical. Again an event in this small world of creative professionals in Holland? I have never attended Sunday markets, craft fairs, creative factory events etc. Next to the 50 hours I already work for my wholesale company I never had time, nor felt like attending these kind of events. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But somehow <a href="http://www.creativelife.nl/">CREATIVE LIFE</a> had a certain 'je ne sais quoi'. I asked them to phone me again. And now I am IN!</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Inspiration is the key theme (and yes: next to that, visitors can buy stuff too, lucky me!)</li>
<li>It takes craft & creativity to a higher level - there will be mini-workshops all over the place</li>
<li>It will be held in the wonderful, newly renovated, <a href="http://www.werkspoorkathedraal.nl/nl/locatie/">Werkspoorkathedraal</a> </li>
<li>It will be large and professional, but still personal and crafty</li>
<li>Creative Life is organised by an experienced and wellknown fair organiser. </li>
<li>Monique - Mrs. Connecting the Dots/art director - from <a href="http://www.happymakersblog.com/">Happymakersblog</a> is working in the organisation already from the beginning.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>WANNA EXHIBIT? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They have a very sympathetic construction: If you give workshops in your stand you get a discount on the (already not too high) stand price. There's a good list of wonderful exhibitors already, you can check them <a href="http://www.creativelife.nl/deelnemers/">here</a>. Good thing is: there's place for some more! A friend of mine - who's gonna be an exhibitor as well - told me: <i>I need to be there, to stay visible on the map, to stay relevant. This is THE event! </i>I think she is right. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>WANNA VISIT?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Treat yourself on a day full of creativity. Come home not only with some beautiful selfmade or bought items in your bag, but also with a head full of ideas and inspiration! Well, it's easy peasy: block one of the days in your new 2017 calendar and buy your ticket (early bird discount!) in the coming weeks. Ticket sale starts by mid December, keep an eye on <a href="http://www.creativelife.nl/tickets/">the website</a>. And of course: spread the word and invite friends. This is going to be so special!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>MY QUESTION TO YOU</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since I don't give workshops - I think you are all able to fold my angels without my help ;-) - I am thinking of contributing with something completely different. I would love to sit with you personally and share my professional experience with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jurianne speed dates during the Creative Life event. 10 or 15 minutes of personal feedback. Not in my stand, but separate, private, in order to be real focused. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can help you with creative/professional questions like: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>I would like to make a career move in a creative direction, but I don't know where to start!</li>
<li>I would like to know how I can commercialize my small collection of products.</li>
<li>I would like to get feedback on a creative process I got stuck in. </li>
<li>I just would like to know some Jurianne 'business - secrets', to get inspired...</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you think people would go for this idea? Would you? Should I ask money for this, a small symbolic amount maybe? I think it would be wise when people reserve their time in advance and send me a brief version of their question + images, so I can prepare it a little bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would LOVE to hear your opinion and ideas! Thanks in advance...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like most of you wrapping gifts for my loved ones is one of my favourite hobbies! Can you imagine how fortunate I feel that designing gift wrap paper and gift tags is my work? I feel so blessed! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of the above photo's show products I designed for wholesaler <a href="http://www.ompak.nl/">Ompak gift paper.</a> Light gray marbled paper, black pine paper, silk paper (with the snowwy trees on it), gift tags and stickers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are designed to make gift wrapping the easiest craft ever: small effort - huge effect. I love to design things that are multifunctional, so all of the tags can
be used as other decoration too! You can hang them in the Christmas tree or
string them and make a garland!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tags and stickers (prices vary from € 1.25 per pack) are now for sale in my webshop: <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/webshop/gift-wrap-designs/">Jurianne Matter</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My very first time to attend a shopping event for consumers! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a wholesaler I am used to trade fairs: you show your designs in the nicest possible way, talk to your customers (who all have a store) and write down orders. That's it, simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time it is completely different: I need to have a counter, lots of stock, a mobile card machine for the payments and I need to have bags, price tags, baskets... I guess I underestimated this big time! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the moment I am working my *** off to
get everything organised. But I know that once the doors open I will
feel happy as a child (and so honoured) with all the lovely customers
that come to see my designs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am going to sell all my new and old designs, some wrapping paper, gift tags, gift bags and stickers I designed for wholesaler <a href="http://www.ompak.nl/">Ompak</a> and there will be a small sample sale as well (with small prices of course!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
So: welcome at stand number 13 at <a href="http://www.flavouriteslive.nl/">Flavourites Live</a> in the gorgeous old industrial Kromhouthal!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We (= assistant Kim, husband Peter & I) would love to meet you...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my previous post I told you a little about the designing process behind my products. A rather strict path: it all starts with a moodboard. Well, apparently there are no golden rules for designing, because for this product - <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/twig-leaves.html">Twig leaves</a> - I broke with that tradition for the first time!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Twig was on my work table before I knew it. I had the idea, a few minutes later I was cutting small black leaves in different shapes, stringing them on black wire and there it was! It only needed some days of finetuning (slim leaves? heart shaped leaves? thickness of the wire?). And of course it needed the rest of the production-circus before it could end up - printed, pre-cut and packed - in the shops. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If a design pops up like that, without any real effort, I know it must strike a chord at my customers. And it did, it's sold in many places throughout Europe and beyond and of course in my own <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/twig-leaves.html">webshop!</a></div>

<br />
My new <a href="httpshttps://www.juriannematter.nl/en/fridur-mini-angels.html" target="_blank">Fridur mini angels</a> were not designed and produced in a heart beat. Don't know if it's interesting for anyone, but I just thought it's fun to share the usually hidden designing process behind this product.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. From a vague ‘something in the air’ feeling I start creating a visual world with a coherent style... in short: a mood board (see first image above). This mood board is my source and help during the design process. When the product is ready it should fit perfectly in the world I created in the mood collage.<br />
<br />
For Fridur I chose for: cosy, stylish, crafty, warm, hip, winter, graphic, sweet and natural. My major tool for making mood boards is <a href="https://nl.pinterest.com/juriannematter/" target="_blank">Pinterest.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Then I google for catchy and matching product names, mostly in Northern European languages. I found Fridur in Icelandic and it means Peace!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. When my mood board is ready, I look at the dominant colors and make a color scheme with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. I start designing lots and lots of prints in Illustrator, I select the ones I like best and look for the best pattern combinations. See above.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Then I start combining the prints into my product. I print, cut, and fold - I make about 50 angels or more - and at the end I decide which ones are going to make it to the printer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. What happens next is not as interesting, but still necessary (and very time consuming!): I need to design a package, I finalize the technical print files, I design the cutting files, I guide the printing process, order corn bags, make packing instructions for the packaging company, calculate a prize, put everything in the JM administration and see to it that the angels end up in my warehouse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. And then of course we need photos of the new product. First I make a photography storyboard, a list of scenes I need/want to shoot. And then I go shopping for the right props with my moodboard in my hand. At home I go online shopping for clothes for my model.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. On the photoshoot day I mostly shoot 3 products at once. The shoot with my model takes about 4 to 5 hours and the rest of the day I spend taking pack shots and close-ups.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
9.After selecting and editing the photo's and uploading them to my catalog and my website I can finally say: hurray, my product is ready!</div>

Hard to believe that I was here only 2 weeks ago, in Lefkas/Lefkada together with a friend. And due to the great Greek laid back energy I was able to completely reset and recharge in only 7 days!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MY PERSONAL TIPS FOR YOU</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>1.</b></span> go there in June or September, during high season it must be crowded on the island. Risk a few rain showers (the island is green!), there will always be days with lots of sunshine!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2.</b> try to get an apartment in the tiny village of Agios Nikitas. It is cute and super relaxed, feels authentic although it's completely based on tourism... There's no traffic, the main mini pedestrian road ends up in a small sandy beach. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3.</b> eat zucchini-balls aka courgette balls (kolokithia keftedes) at Lefteris taverna in Agios Nikitas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4.</b> do some work out (up and down the hill for 25 minutes) and spend the day at the absolute best natural beach of the island: Milos beach (no beach bars, no beds, hurray!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5.</b> don't let the ugly 'exterior' (harbour) of Lefkada Town scare you off: take any small street towards the center... it is a paradise for colour lovers! Small streets, corrugated metal houses, colours and cats. See photo's above.</div>

I came back from <a href="http://www.maison-objet.com/en" target="_blank">Maison & Objet</a> in Paris last Wednesday, the last trade show for me this year. Exhausted and kind of relieved as always and proud that this time I was able to present 6 new designs! You can find them in my webshop: <a href="https://www.juriannematter.nl/en/">www.juriannematter.nl</a></div>

Next week I am going to recharge for 7 days on a small Greek Island before another long busy winter starts...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Due to a busy summer (new designs, trade fairs, tell you more soon) we decided to keep the summer vacation short this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was our first time since 19 years that we had vacations without the boys! Eldest son Eise was in Nizhny Novgorod (RU), studying Russian at the State University for one month and Brecht celebrated life with tons of friends in Albufeira, Portugal. Being without the kids felt a bit strange at first but it was also great to do 'boring old peoples things' - like hiking and reading books - without any comments from the adolescents! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We decided to ask my father to come with us (to make it even more senior... hihi) and had him kind of decide where we were going. He chose the north of Italy, South Tyrol, because he has a special connection with this area. He's been there many times on a professional basis - he's a classical musician - and he still has some former students/friends living here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This fact made the little trip very special. We had dinners with his friends, meetings in monasteries, there was renaissance music (played by dad and others), but also long walks in the mountains, tasting the best wines ever (Lagrein and Gewürztraminer) and I even got to read some books too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe you can see it in the images above: South Tyrol is the best of both worlds. Austrian alpine life combined with Italian liveliness and warmth, snow and palm trees, good espresso and Apfelstrudel... </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">VACATION WITH ADOLESCENTS - a challenge</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scrolling through my old blogposts I realized I forgot to mention our gorgeous vacation in Dalmatia (Croatia) on the island of Braç last summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was an absolute challenge to combine all the wishes in our family...<br />
1. Peter and I with a pile of books in our suitcases, in search for beautiful nature, peace, silence, culture and nice authentic fresh food.<br />
2. And our boys, 16 and 17 at that time, accompagnied by their friend Sam (17): looking for nightlife, international friends, girls on the beach, cheap (and legit!) tequila and beer and great greasy fast food. ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I knew this was going to be our last summer vacation as a family so I tried my utmost to find the ideal location to suit everyones expectations. Next to that I didn't want to spend too much money on vacations this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BRAÇ</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We chose for Braç, a large Dalmatian island. We stayed in Supetar which is the port of Braç and it has a rather lively historic town. We rented a simple apartment (<a href="https://www.airbnb.nl/" target="_blank">AirBnB</a>) just a few minutes on foot from the center and far enough from the 'strip' with a few nightclubs and bars. We didn't hear any noise. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I apparently did exactly the right thing: the boys had the best vacation ever and so had the parents. The gentlemen went out until late, woke up late in the afternoon, got to know tons of new friends (Swiss, Austrian, Croatian, Polish, Swedish, Australian), and celebrated their vacations completely their style. In the meantime there was mommy, taking care of salads, lots of fruits, warm bread from the bakery and fresh meals every night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peter and I had a completely different kind of holiday. We explored the island together with good friends that came over, swam at small bays with lagoon-blue water, walked through sleepy mountain villages and yes, we read our books on the terrace, while the three men were vast a asleep.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">RECOMMENDATIONS</span><br />
For people without adolescents I would recommend to stay in <b>Sutivan or Postira</b>. Less crowded, more authentic! Just lovely little places, with a few restaurants and bars and nice - not too crowded - beaches in the village. Also I wouldn't recommend July or August, oh my, it was soooo hot (above 40 C)! If possible go there in June or September.<br />
Oh, and all of the beaches are rocky (pebbles) so don't forget to bring your water shoes! </div>

Maybe you know I finally opened a small consumer <a href="http://www.juriannematter.nl/nl/" target="_blank">WEBSHOP</a> this winter- after 8 years of wholesaling only! I still have to find my way a little bit, questions in my mind like: Shall I stick to Jurianne-designs only? For the time being it's ok to keep it small.<br />
<br />
I design 2 collections a year for <a href="http://www.ompak.nl/" target="_blank">Ompak Gift Wrapping</a> as well, and some of the designs - tags, bags and stickers for example - are great to sell in the shop too. So I bought them from wholesaler Ompak, which feels funny in a way (buying my own designs), and now I sell them in my shop!<br />
<br />
Still didn't make my mind up about selling small (2m) rolls of the <a href="http://www.ompak.nl/collectie/9190/jurianne-matter.html" target="_blank">wrapping paper</a> I designed. Would love to sell them online too, but they are not easy to ship safely: you need a long box for a only one roll. And I don't think it's a good idea to create so much waste for only a small roll of paper. Maybe you have a good ecofriendly idea? Would love to hear it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Interested in buying one of the designs above?<br />
You can find them in my webshop category <b><a href="http://www.juriannematter.nl/en/webshop/gift-wrap-designs/" target="_blank">GIFT WRAP DESIGNS</a></b><br />

Had some portrait photo's taken by photographer <a href="http://carolinecoehorst.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Coehorst</a> last Friday. It was about time: the last ones - also taken by Caroline - were 5 years ago. And I can tell you, a womans body and face go through quite some changes between the age of 47 and 52! Anyway: time for an update... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Caroline did a wonderful job again. She manages to make me feel at ease every time. That is rare, because posing for a photoshoot is one of the least relaxing things I can imagine. Usually I stay on a safe distance from camera lenses. Next to her relaxed character and her professionalism (her photo's are always kind of fresh and crispy), Caroline has a good feeling for composition. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am happy with the photo's, it feels like this is really me!</div>

Most years I start making summer holiday plans already in winter. I search the internet and make long lists with links to lovely homes. I love doing this, it is such challenge every year!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last December I thought we would end up in Sweden this summer. But I
didn't book anything. Main reason: we will go to Northern Italy instead!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It would be a pity though not to share some of the lovely Swedish houses from my list with you.<br />
From top to bottom:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="https://www.airbnb.nl/rooms/1455154" target="_blank">house in the woods</a><br />
2. <a href="https://www.natuurhuisje.nl/vakantiehuisje/25443" target="_blank">red wooden house with large garden </a><br />
3. <a href="https://www.airbnb.nl/rooms/3855199?bev_ref=1434270965_SNR8o3Q2X0yoR8oy&photo=0&user_id=2590197&s=16" target="_blank">architectural cabin at the lake</a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Apart from quiet, clean, green, spacious and within our budget, I want my vacation homes to have a<b> SOUL</b> (meaning build/furnished/maintained with love). </div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can get so sad in ugly (and dirty) interiors, or outdoor spaces with no green at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have enough money it is easy to rent a beautiful furnished vacation house with a well-maintained garden etc for about € 2000,- per week. But it's my fun to find rental homes for at least 50% less that give the same luxurious feeling. Luxury for me is in the good taste and the love of the house owners and in the gorgeous location of it. </div>

I have a dream for the future....an online platform like Instagram, that will keep one simple pledge: Never ever ever ever to interfere with the way content is shown to its users and stay algorithm-free.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are all grown-ups, we can make our own decisions, and we really don't need anyone (or anything) to tell us which photo is more important or relevant than the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am dreaming of an app for independent people, an app without threats of interference, a platform made and run by persons who respect their users. <b>To download this app I am willing to pay a few dollars, of course. </b>And maybe the other 400 million Instagram users are willing to pay for their freedom too... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, we - a community of 400 million people -are hiring! ;-) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What we are looking for</b> is a skilled app designer with moral standards (!!!) who wants to make a buck (like a couple of million of 'em). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What we offer</b> is a strong and growing community of happy free people that love to share their photo's. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until this dream comes true please let Instagram know that following the algorithm plague from Facebook and Pinterest is NOT a good idea. Please sign the petition <a href="https://www.change.org/p/keep-instagram-chronological">HERE</a>. Thank you!</div>
