wood & wool week

wood & wool week, a photo by wood & wool stool on Flickr.

Yesterday we laughed out loud (understatement) at the brilliant performance of Gummbah.
The postcards are very popular.
The crocheted hearts compartment was empty soon.
I have just made some new ♥ postcards to refill.
It's nice to do something new and refresh the collection.
Anyhow the handmade stools remain and seem to be the most popular.
The traditional version is still favorite...

By the way; today, they glued the pebbles in the bathroom (só pretty!)
In a few days it will be ready (I promise to do a photo report) and I can't wait to get a 'foot massage'.

The last few days I have a bad cold and the bathrooms works (dusty) do not contribute to a quick recovery.

hotel label collection

I love hotels that have something unique.
I'm not talking about stars.
Entering the room and feeling at home.
I don't mind to pay a little more to stay in a good mood room.
A cool hotel room is worth a lot to me.
I think a neat hotel makes your city trip complete.
Not only abroad but also as a 'break' in the Netherlands.
Stay overnight for just one night with good food and breakfast for me is like a mini-vacation.

Here are some of the favorite places I've stayed!
(in random order)

1. Michelberger - Berlin www.michelbergerhotel.com/
2. Lloyd hotel - Amsterdam www.lloydhotel.com/
3. Villa Augustus - Dordrecht www.villa-augustus.nl/new/index-flash.html
4. Mama Shelter - Paris www.mamashelter.com/
5. The Praktik - Barcelona www.praktikhotels.com/
6. Story Hotel - Stockholm www.storyhotels.com/
7. Hotel New York - Rotterdam www.hotelnewyork.nl/index.php/nl/home
8. Boulevard Leopold - Antwerp www.boulevard-leopold.be/
9. Tentenhotel Les Ormes - Villeréal campinglesormes.com/
10. Hotel Bazar - Rotterdam www.hotelbazar.nl/

It may be obvious, such lovely hotels happen to have funny 'do not disturb labels'. Here's my hotel label collection.

Pretty pebbles for the new bathroom floor.
The old floor will be demolished today.
I'm in a deafening noise at the moment.
What did you say?

If you've always wanted to go to Marrakech?
and want to learn crochet?
This cool crochet trip is perfect for you!

During your stay in Marrakech you will reside in the super-stylish riad chambres d'amis.

There are two options, whether in spring or autumn; you can learn cool crochet in Marrakech.
In spring I will go there with my love. Yeah.

More cool news; Since yesterday my handmade postcards are for sale at Villa Augustus!

For the time being, these two 'valentine' cards are the first ones, but I'm working on expanding the collection and making prints for my Etsy shop.

peculiar & exceptional

The beautiful location on the quay of one of the many truly Dutch harbors of my hometown Dordrecht is already a very good reason to come by. Furthermore Lammie verkoopt (Lammie sells) is a surprisingly cute little shop full of Lammie's peculiar and exceptional finds. Chairs, tables, old metal letters, little unique 'gadgets', the collection is constantly changing and you will find something special for sure.
If you happen to be in the area (on Saturday), you should really go inside ...
