pompon tree

I've decorated two 'trees' in the market on my weekly flowerday at Villa Augustus last Thursday.
One is very colorful and bright tree with fish, fruits, vegetabels, animals and even doll faces. I've posted a picture on Instagram this week [woodwoolstool]

This is the other one with paper pompons in pastel colors. They both are very different and actually no trees, but vintage bottle racks.

wood & wool x-mas f a m i l y trees

Oh how I love this time of year...

I could easily re-decorate my wooden tree every single day. (piece of cake)

If you would like to share your version of the wood & wool x-mas tree, post it on Instagram #woodwoolstool.

Yay, i'm so curious...

cover on the cover

My wood & wool stool made it to the cover of the American Craft's 2013 Holiday Lookbook.

The lookbook went live last Wednesday and will be promoted through the American Craft Council throughout the month of December. It's an exciting special edition of American Craft magazine! Just have a L O O K!

amsterdam is always a good idea

After we visited the brocante of Maria & Lammie last Friday, we happened to be in the neighbourghood of vintage shop All The Luck In The World.
Luckily we met my friend and shopowner Jane at ATLITW. She advised us to stop by at Hutspot and so we did.

Unfortunately it was rainy most of the day, however Amsterdam is alway a good idea...
