Knee patches tutorial...

Give clothes a second round with these great patches. Cover the holes, or just use them to update any trouser, jumper or jacket! Simply by ironing them on the place you choose, and for better result stitch them with the thread added in the package. http://www.famstore.nl/c-843364/more-to-wear/

What to do with wrapping paper?

There are so many designers that make great wrapping paper lately...and every time they come out with new designs or new colors! I'm addicted to prints and colors and buy them every time when there is a new one.....but what do you do with all that paper?
Today I would like to give you some inspiration (except wrapping gifts;-)

And here some more inspiration, what we used our paper by 'casual fridays paper' for...

with special thanks to Jordan Sterk.

Summer in my girls room...

Finally the sun came out and it made her room look so pretty in this light!

Paal 12 Texel

   

This weekend we were on a family weekend on the beautiful island of Texel .

After a long walk on the beach we ended up at "paal 12" ...

This refreshing beach bar offers you no endless lounge sofas or tight Phillip Starck design.

Here you will find good and honest food ( the best BLTC sandwich ever!) a glass of cold wine and exceptional friendly service...So if you are going to texel..it is worth to pay a visit..!!

(And also: do not forget to visit beach shop 'twaalf" across the beach bar)

April Shower by Polder....

Today i want to share another french brand with you, Polder.
The designers are two dutch sisters that grew up in the polders of Holland. For studies they moved to Paris where they also started their brand Polder, a handbag collection completed by a line of jewelry, knitwear, shoes, clothing and socks for adults.
In 2008 they presented their first kids collection "april showers", WOW!!
I love everything they make, the fabrics for the bedding, the crochet details, the french design in the shoes and the color combinations are stunning to me!!

Beatrice Alemagna...

Last week when I checked my Pinterest I found something interesting.
I saw a photo of my girls room, with a new wall decor on it!
Surprised! Because no one had asked my permission of using the photo.
I found out that is was the illustrator Beatrice who is a painter and writer of many books and also makes drawings for labels, like Djeco!
So I see it as a big compliment that SHE used our girls room as  a decor for her beautiful cat!
After contacting her, she putted our name underneath the picture, and apologized to us because she really felt sorry for not knowing where the picture came from! We are happy to be on her blog.

In the mailbox today...

We receive a lot of mail with news via computer, but doesn't it work better to receive real mail sometimes?
For me it works..this cam in today. New items from Casual Fridays Paper!!

These new prints and colors make me so happy, and give a lot of new inspiration, thank you Jordan.

Right now we already sell her first designs, also lovely in combination with the new papers.
