live your life to the max

The handmade signs are made of an unique 'recycled' piece of wood, stamped with a personal text.

You can order your own custom made ‘wood & word sign’ with whatever text.
Note: keep the text short, otherwise it will not fit.

Imagine (almost) anything is possible;
[a quote] [your name] [just a word] [congratulation] [a message for your lover] [something stupid] [something funny] [your life motto]

Send someone a message on wood and I will sent the 'postcard' to the address you want.

You can order a personal sign in my E T S Y shop.

ahoi

This tiny in between project is about three things i like a lot:
crochet, typography & snailmail!

I've designed a brandnew [Ahoi] postcard for the Etsy shop and upcoming Snor Festival.

Happy New Year everyone!

I framed the [awesome] Zilverblauw letterboard postcard today.
This thought is the perfect starting point for 2014!

(futhermore; his sneakers, a vintage bottle x-mas gift from Pippa, handmade harlequins and finally the awesome Dorine de Vos agenda in use!)

everyone loves snail mail

Everyone loves snail mail.
It is a pleasure to send and receive a postcard, right?
It's such a small effort to make someone's day with a handwritten postcard.
I've composed a postcard set for almost any occasion...

global crush

Spring is taking over slowly...
Time to be in love! After the hearts postcards now it's time for sheer language to declare your love. Cheers to snailmail.

You can buy the new postcards in my Etsy shop or just send an e-mail to info@woodwoolstool.com

deux jours a paris

deux jours a paris, a photo by wood & wool stool on Flickr.

There's always plenty of things to discover in Paris.
First of all, traveling with Thalys seemed a relief (7am departure from Rotterdam and at 9.30am drinking coffee on a terrace near Gare du Nord)
This time we walked 'all' the little side streets in le Marais.
Merci is a new favorite(!) and we had a wonderful lunch in the basement. At the end of the day we checked in at Mama Shelter, a cool hotel right behind Père Lachaise.
After dinner we had a midnight visit at the Eiffel Tower.
The next morning we walked via Pont Neuf (haven't participated the "love locks" craze) to Saint Germain.
We walked a marathon in two days (luckily I was smart enough to wear my red Adidas) and tired but satisfied we were happy to relax for some hours on the train.

tagged!

New [wood & wool stool] cards,
business cards to be precise,
similar to the postcards.

They sure look cute, hanging on a stool leg.

Today the first stools 'tagged new style' are off to New York City and Downunder Queensland.

Sometimes I wish I could bring them myself...

Brought a bit of Barcelona home;
Pretty postcards.
A handmade spanish spots vase (from '1748 Artesania I Coses' in El Born)

aujourd'hui printemps

aujourd'hui printemps, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

On my desk:

Dottie Angel notebooks
and she's standing next to a wood & wool stool :) on the cover.

Recycled wool,
bits and pieces of yarn
that are no longer used and knotted together.
Not in order to save material,
just because I like it so much.

A postcard from Barcelona, received from Henk & Minne.
The colored laundry makes me cheerful.

And right in the middle
a vintage desk calendar,
in French,
which makes it even more chic.
It's not fully automatic
but by pushing the black button
a new day will begin.

wood & word sign

wood & word sign, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

In most cases my handmade stools get a personal touch, by stamping the name of the new owner on the bottom of the seat frame. Everyone is reacting excited about this addition.

Sometimes I label a piece of recycled wood with a personal text or message to send it along with the chairs.
Because of the nice comments and the surprising success @ the Woonbeurs, it seems a good idea that everyone can order a favorite text.

The recycled wooden label is from now on called a WOOD & WORD SIGN.
You can order your own custom made ‘wood & word sign’ with whatever text.
(keep the text short, otherwise it does not fit on the sign)

Imagine almost anything is possible;
[your name] [just a word] [a message for your lover] [love] [something stupid] [something funny] [your life motto]

Use it as a 'postcard' and it will be sent to the address you want.

The price for a sign is € 10 including shipping costs for the Netherlands and Europe. (shipping costs at any other country will be € 2,50 extra).

another row of plates

another row of plates, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

Yesterday I hung the plates from Intermezzo and another cute plate, still waiting for a prominent spot on the wall plates. Fifteen minutes, four new trust the white rabbit platehangers, a few nails and a ruler, was all I needed to clear this job.

A few seconds after I had hung the plates I was still holding my hands near like a safety net, in case it wasn't completely safe. Nothing happend so I guessed I could trust the white rabbit, as the brand name suggests.

The white rabbit from the Easter postcard in the card holder is another story...
