december workshop

December workshop!

Heb je zin om een plantenhanger te leren knopen?
Martine van Studio Suikerzoet vroeg me een workshop te geven in haar nieuwe conceptstore Liebling.
De plantenhanger workshop is aanstaande woensdagavond 9 december om 19:30 uur bij Liebling Conceptstore & More, Burgstraat 27 in Gorinchem.

Heb je interesse? Geef je dan H I E R op!
Er zijn nog een paar plaatsen vrij.

Tijdens de decembermaand kun je de geknoopte hanger ook gebruiken voor een sfeerlichtje, door de plant te vervangen voor een glazen pot met waxinelichtje.

hello december

The tree is up!

proud as a peacock

The blue harlequin pillow I've made with the wool from South Africa that Cornel brought for me last month, is finished!
The hand-dyed Vinnis bamboo cotton yarn was great to work with and I'm proud as peacock.

Thanks again sweet Cornel! (vanoggend al in gebruik geneem, as ekstra kussing vir 'n ontbyt op die bed)

perforated plant

Swiss Cheese Plant - Gatenplant - Monstera deliciosa. All names for this lovely tropical plant.

In the Jardim Botanico in Lisbon I fell in love with the huge Monstera deliciosa plant this summer. In one of the rooms of our apartment there was a single leaf on the vase.

I've been looking for the plant eversince and it wasn't easy to find one, but last week I've bought a small version at Dille & Kamille in Rotterdam.

The holes make it...

attic planthanger

This beautiful wall macramé planthanger is made by Amanda. She's living in Spain and joined the Cool Crochet workshop in Marrakech with her twinsister Caron, who's living in the UK.
The cheerful twins arrived giggling on the roofgarden on the first evening, just before we started with the welcome dinner and I remember everyone instantly adored the twin girls.

The next day Amanda gave me some very nice, homemade plant hangers. Splendid! One of the hangers is now hanging in our attic bedroom.
Amanda creates wall hangings and all kinds of macrame plant hangers, you can find them in her concept store Esmé and on Instagram @mandeejammo.
Muchas gracias por la perchas de plantas! Love them. (the house is getting greener and greener...)

An Amazing Place

一个了不起的地方

Emily Chalmers (http://www.caravanstyle.com/) and her family stayed at hotel Villa Augustus in the spring of 2015.
Emily and I met by chance in the market shop and I offered to give her a tour.
We had a lovely afternoon and walked through the garden and visited a number of rooms in the water tower. During our tour, I was interviewed by Emily and meanwhile her husband Chris Richmond took photos.
This eventually turned into a beautiful publication about Villa Augustus in the Chinese magazine Little Thing.
Last week I received Little Thing magazine all the way from China and was pleasantly surprised, although I can not read a word... (well except the English headers)
