new website, change of blog

It's been almost a year since my last post and lots of new things happened. It took awhile, but finally my new website is online. I used to have a different site, webshop and blog, now it's all together on one site.
So I will stop posting on this blog, please go here for my new blog.
And I also found a new studio together with Bonne. Pictures will be posted soon on my new blog!
Thanks for visiting this blog and hope to welcome you on my new blog!

poster

Recently I got a nice comment from Hermine on my post about Gent. She made a picture of the same poster, but then it was still in one piece.

Happy 2012

Happy New Year!
I miss my blog, so one of my New Year's resolutions is to post more often. The last couple of months have been so hectic, but were also great. This year I hope to find more rythm in my work, so I will have more time for doing other nice things.

And thanks for all your nice comments last year!

100tenhonderd

Starting from tomorrow lovely sisters Bep and Siska will have their first pop-up store in Antwerp for three days.

They will sell work from young designers from Belgium and the Netherlands.

My work will be present as well. For more information and a list of designers check out their facebookpage. And you need to have an invitation! I think you can get it at their facebookpage or send me a message and I will give you one.

Pity I'm not in Antwerp this weekend, I think it will be sooo nice..

Gent

Gent

Pictures taken in Gent last September while celebrating my fathers birthday with my boyfriend, my father, mother, sister and her boyfriend. We had a very nice weekend, walked a lot around, had nice food and stayed at a fantastic guesthouse.

DDW in Eindhoven

These pictures I took in Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week at the end of October. Very nice to be there again and to meet some old friends.

new work

It's been awhile since my last post. After the fair Meesterlijk things got so busy.
New shops! (see the list) and I'm working two days at BonBonBoutique at Trunk.
Finally everything is settling down. I like being in the shop, it's so nice to meet people and hear comments.
And I hope to update my shop very soon with my new products.

Mr. Jonathan in Elle Decor Italia

Remember this post? The result is shown above. I was very surprised myself, I only helped with the stripes and didn't see the shoot.It's always so nice to see what Frank does with space and colour. And I also think Elle Decor made beautiful spreads.
Photography is from Karin Nussbaumer.

Rosmarijnsteeg 12, Amsterdam

At the beginning of this year Bonne and I had to close studio BonBon. But since a month Bonne started a collaboration with another shop. I will be selling my work there as well and will be in the shop for 2 days a week. Every Friday + one week on Saturday and the other week on Thursday.
It's very exciting. You're welcome to visit us if you are around!

Meesterlijk (2)

Been absent for a while on this blog. The fair took a lot of time. It was nice to share the stand with Eva, Sophie, Neeltje and Myriam. It was a good experience, met a lot of nice people. (especially other designers, like Hester Zagt, Manon Garritsen and Zward)
The pictures turned out to be a bit blurry, so will show you only this impression.

After the fair I started immediately with a new project, will tell you about it in the next post.

Meesterlijk

Been quite busy lately with preparations for the fair Meesterlijk. It starts this Friday and can be visited till Sunday 2 October. (the Woonbeurs ("furniture" fair) is presented at the same time, and has the same entrance + ticket)
I'm very curious how it will be. Never had a stand at a fair before.
I'll be sharing a stand with Eva Schreuder, Sophie Duran and Zigt Sieraden.
If you are planning to visit the fair, you're very welcome to pass by our stand. (nr.82)

Will show you some pictures during or after the fair.

weekend in Belgium (2)

weekend in Belgium

Last weekend Sophie took me to Belgium as a gift for my birthday (last April). We went to Dranouter, to the folk festival. It's such a great festival, nice people, beautiful surroundings and good music. Eight years ago we went for the first time and this was the second time. The festival got bigger in the meantime, but is still a good size. On Saturday the weather wasn't so good, but the artists play in a big tent, so we could listen dry and warm. On Sunday we went to Watou. Sophie went there before to visit an "art festival" and wanted to show this little village to me. The art festival was there again as well. On very nice locations, such as old houses and farms, work from artists, inspired by poems was shown. Very worthwhile to visit.
