A nice initiative by Yvonne: The Yvestown fair! On september 8 this summer, a lot of nice webshops (and bloggers) will be joining for a craft market in Yvonnes beautiful garden in Lommel, Belgium (ju...
I have to admit it: even though we have a wonderful holiday to Portugal planned real soon, I cant help but already search for great new holiday destinations. I have a preference for special places an...
Like most kids of her age, Rosa is fond of animals. I cant even begin to count how many books about animals weve been reading since she was born, and how crazily often Ive been pronouncing all the an...
One of the things thats both exciting and a bit frustrating about making ceramics, is that theres always a before and an after stage in the making process, with the firing in the kiln as the defining...
Theres stylists who make you feel that all they did was put some vases with flowers on the table, and theres stylists (teamed up with great photographers) who make you feel like youre looking at a pa...
The Olivelse blog has been one of my favorite reads (well, maybe Id better say looks, because my French isnt that great!) for a long time, but as happens with blog reading, sometimes you somehow forg...
To make some room in my shop I added a lot of things to my sale section, with discounts up to 20%. You can find all the items that are on sale here!
Im afraid it doesnt really correspond with any pedagogical view on parenting, but by accident Ive found the perfect way to make Rosa give her best of smiles on a picture: saying no! We hear it quite ...
Im about a hundred years behind with both blogging about all the things I recently made and listing them in the shop, but I did manage to add these to the shop a little while ago: custom made small n...
Our home (and a bit of Rosa & me) is featured in the current issue of Dutch mom magazine Viva Mama. The beautiful images were taken by photographer Marloes Barnhoorn & stylist Bern Veenhof, w...
I love DIY culture and the fact that Im able to do lots of creative things with relatively little real knowledge of it. Im able to fire ceramics in my kiln, but dont ask me all the ins and outs of fi...
Its kind of a miracle I ever started a shop, because all my life Ive been far much better at buying things than at selling them. Though Ive always sort of convinced myself that I could always sell...
Okay, I must admit that particularly this first image is a bit one in the pet with a hat category (you know, those picture postcards of cats with a sun hat on, monkeys wearing swimsuits and dogs smok...
All this climbing and walking... ... it does make you tired! Dolls and toys are tired too... In fact were all a bit tired(Is that an understatement? It is!). Since she was born 16 months ago, Ro...
This is so beautiful... If their books were published in Dutch, Id so be reading these to Rosa every day! (if shed agree of course, Rosa has very strong preferences... Lately shes been haunting us wi...
Helmut and Rosa were ready to leave, and when I saw that Rosa was already this close to outgrowing her sweet rabbit coat, I thought Id take a few pictures for my silly little side project. So Helmut ...
Im still playing around with tiles a lot... I already made a lot of the 15x15 cm (6"x6") ones, but now I also discovered these really sweet little 10x10 cm (4"x4") tiles, and I think ...
A lot of new things in the shop! I also have some more updates of tiles and some seconds planned for the next couple of days... so have a look!
Its been a while since I really made my own ceramics (right now I only print on vintage ceramics, which is quite a different thing) and Id love to get started again someday. Recently my very inspirin...
Im not a brooche person at all, but these so make me want to wear one! These ceramic brooches are from a brand new Italian etsy shop called Atelier Gilet. Dont you almost want to eat these?
I guess when youre the bakers daughter, you always get the leftover bread and cakes at the end of the day.And when youre the headmasters daughter, your behavior in class will always be monitored extr...
This is what shed love to do all day, if wed let her: climbing on the window sill of her little room, doing funny tricks and watching what happens on the street below.Dont worry: the windows are lock...
I think pretty much all the available tiles are in the shop now, you can find them in their own tile section... Enjoy!
Theyve told me many things about motherhood, but no one told me it would be this crippling! You see, Rosa likes to take long walks, but she still doesnt walk on her own. Nor does she fancy one of tho...
Oh, I dont think Ive had this much fun making something in a long time! (though I usually already have quite a bit of fun when makingt hings ;)) I started with a few tiles (which is something I alr...
Remember the vintage doll bed and doll carriage that I thrifted a while ago? I already showed you the doll carriage after that my mother-in-law did for Rosa... And a little while ago my mom also fi...
Gosh, where did the time go when items in webshops were displayed on dark, grainy and deformed pictures, with the shop owners cat and dirty laundry somewhere in the back of the picture? Sometimes I j...
