PIACERE! SONO NANDO!
He's already here for a few weeks, Bobjes companion and little brother...
His name is Nando (short for 'Fernando') he was born in a small town near Mantova in Italy. So i play a lot of Italian music for him to feel totally at home with us. Allora.. so he's a little short haired macho and is saving up for his first Vespa scooter to look cool and say....

SWEET TALK
This year i had the great opportunity to be guest designer for my friend Eline's 2nd book. This book, full of great photo's and ideas, shows you how to make your own interior accessories. This time within every theme i created sweet eatables and their recipies in soft and bright colours.
Here's a quick preview of the first photo's. Mid october the book will be in the shops, so just a little more patience for these eye candy recipies!

COLOURFUL STAY
Antwerp is a nice 'getaway' when i do not want to travel far. This time it was a colourful stay in the Sir Plantin hotel just at the edge of town. A modern and warm atmosphere with their own parking. Certainly a convenient adress to remember!

SUMMER BLUES
Blue was THE new colour of last year... in all it's hues that is. For this summer brights are conquering a very important place in our colourcards. Nevertheless blue is still there! Also try blue in different jeans washings combined! This light blue set really does it for me.
But hey......... i love also these pastels and brights!
CAFE RESTAURANT STORK
After a good day's work it is time for a drink! ..and time to check out the new cafe restaurant Stork in Amsterdam! It's a huge place in the former Stork factory, in fact, the interior speaks for itself. They just opened the doors in januari of this year and it's a promising place. Fun detail are the tables in the lounge area... the authentic pub table cloth in plastic!!! I can imagine a good terras for coming summer! The bar is of a good size and so is the restaurant. When it get's dark it's a real treat to watch the ships go by!

EAUX DE VIE made in Holland
A few weeks ago i was invited by my friends to a very idillic place in the Betuwe region in Holland where Bas Lubberhuizen en Henk Raaff brew their own exclusive eaux de vie.
The brewery is situated in characteristic restaured fire station building right next to a 14th century church tower two steps away from the river Waal.
I found it more than inspiring to see how they make a pure product using the various fruit from the region. We spent some time labeling the bottles listening to Chopin and Beethoven.
Ofcourse i was seriously tempted when i saw a kind that i had never seen or tasted before: HOLLYBERRY! do go and try it yourself! it is delicious!
CERAMICS
In the museum S.M.A.K in Gent i came across the works of Yang Jiechang.. a perfect match with my love for Delft & China blue! But also see Ah Xian's work!

BEREND STRIK
My first 'inspiration trip' in the new year is this last minute visit to the works of Berend Strik (untill 9 januari 2011 in the Valkhof museum Nijmegen) He makes his photo's into unique pieces of art by applying pieces of coloured fabric, stitching and placed embroideries. Like this he influences the contours of the images. Sometimes he is led by the contours and sometimes he totally ignores them. I love the contrasting way myself!
