Preparations for my little girl's birthday are in full swing! Because it will take place during our upcoming trip to France, her gifts all involve the theme of this holiday, starring her new to get doll I mentioned earlier. The bubble blower smells like candy, you can get it at this great shop here.


Do any of you know where I can find a plain pink (preferably salmon) cardboard suitcase? You know, those well known suitcases for kids?

Market becomes Bazaar

Frankly I have my doubts if I should let the Summer Market take place next Saturday. I fear the weather will not be to confortable for a walk along the market stalls. Sadly one predicts not just a little drizzle. I'm so sorry!

No doubt the shop will be open for you. We'll have to do without the comfort of the sun and the cheerful entourage I had in mind. But inside you're dry and more than welcome. Still look forward to welcoming you!!! -x- Rozalinde

PS: The real deal Summer Market will surely take place later this summer. I'll keep you posted.

tidy up & recycle

Between the acts I couldn't resist to tackle my office. Entirely devoted to recycling I made some labels of waste paper, I love pastel colors.

Of some cut in half empty milk bottles and scraps I made containers to organize my stuff in, I love milk &fabrics ;-) What do you think of the result? 

to do

It's a pretty full but long weekend. All nice things, preparing for the open shop next Saturday, translating my webshop into English and sewing and crocheting for Hadewig's upcoming birthday. I bought a doll kit here, which comes with some really nice patterns. The doll coat I just finished, it's in my favorite nani IRO, Japanese Fuccra. Thinking up and making gifts for my little girl is the best!!! I'll keep you posted. Have a nice and long Pentecost! -x- Rozalinde

yellow at bloesem kids

What a nice surprise! This morning I found one of my stuffed animals, the anteater arno ant on bloesem kids, yeah! Thanks for liking my yellow Irene!

picking flowers

Busy days here at our home. Making preparations for the Summer Market and Hadewigs birthday. Not to mention our upcoming vacation. Feels like there are fewer hours in one day. Above that orders need to be packed and packages need to be send. Lucky us we always manage to find time for a picnic in the park.

redecorate

Some time ago I did a small project, redecorating a guestroom in a beautiful house right by the sea. To Caspar & Hadewig a room with a view indeed! They stared into the wide sea for so long, they almost turned into little fishes themselves. Today I make a start on redecorating our own home. I think the new fabrics deserve a place here too. Some matresses like these would do great in different fabrics. I like their multipurposeness & my kids do too.

By the way feel free to copy my Summer Market poster linking to the invitation. I can sure use a little publicity. Let me know if you do, I've planned a number of beautiful fat quarters which may fly out...
