London souvenirs


Waiting to be used: Big Ben stamp (Muji-store) and ordinary ball of coloured rubber bands (at just another office stationer's) from London. The white 'stone' (porcelain) I bought on a crafts market in Amsterdam, it has the word 'geluk' (dutch for happiness) printed/pressed in it.

Huge and vintage


This vase I bought some weeks ago through Marktplaats, our dutch online fleamarket. When I opened the box I got a surprise: the ad on Marktplaats said it was about 45 cm high, it appeared to be 70 cm! I love the colours, love the structure and of course: I love the height!

Newborn





Allright, although it feels strange - posting your own stuff on your own blog - these are my newborn lanterns. And yes: I am proud of them! Not only on the designs but also on the fact that I managed to produce them completely ecofriendly! Check my website for more information and for salespoints near you!

Orla-love



After visiting her flagship-store in Covent Garden last January, I gained a deep respect for the amazing designer Orla Kiely. What a good sense of colours, of shape and style. Bought this little note-book. The outside was stunning, but the inside uncovered a treasure! So well-thought, so detailed. Actually: so very Orla Kiely.
