wood & wool pet x-mas tree

wood & wool pet x-mas tree, a photo by wood & wool stool on Flickr.

This tiny tree I've made for Chikuwa.
Chikuwa is a French bulldog who lives in Japan.

Lynn asked me to make a xxs tree for her cute Chikuwa.

This awesome dog has a doggie blog and is already owner of a wood & wool stool.

Since "normal" Christmas trees in her house often not do survive (demolition cat), Nikki ordered ​​a cat-proof x-mas tree (at least that's the idea)

'dutch' editions de paris

Nederland, mijn interieur (Netherlands, my interior) is the newest edition of the Japanese interior book Editions de Paris.

The book contains twelve 'handmade' interiors in the Netherlands, including ours and some interior design shops and fine places.

The Japanese texts are indecipherable for me, but the photos and layout are a feast for the eyes and do compensate entirely, thanks to the creators Masami, Miho and Naomi.

a little present from chikuwa

This morning the postman delivered a gift from Japan.

Lynn sent me a handmade stamp of my stool. Lynn is a customer from Japan who has ordered even 4 stools! One stool for herself, one stool for her partner and the third stool for her dog Chikuwa. How cool is that! Recently she ordered a pink one for her mother in Taiwan.

Lynn is a sweetheart! She always sends me sweet comments and nice photos when a stool has arrived.

Some weeks ago she announced she has a present for me; the Japanese stamp artist Norio was making a stamp for me and I got a sneak preview. This morning the surprise package from Japan arrived and it did not only contain the handmade wood & wool stool stamp with a Japanese label, but also lots of colored ink and ink pens, a few examples and a manual in Japanese.

Thank you dear Lynn, it is a very precious gift! Super sweet.

This afternoon I think I'd better enjoy stamping with my daughter.
