The EST Salesfairies

My Sales fairy arrived in Hungary, I love her place at the window, I guess she has a great view on Budapest from there! (Wish I was there!)
Good Luck with her Krisztina!!!! (check out Krisztina's blog here. And especially this blogpost about recycling bubble mailers, cool idea for a better world)

The sales fairy I catched, arrived here too, have to look for a cosy place for her, she came all the way from Finland and was designed by a textile designer who's work I adore: Karuski!




She was so beautiful packed! Minna recycles her bubble mailers too and I must say : very well done! Yay for recycling and repurposing!
Also her packaging is so very her and my taste: vintage flower wallpaper stichted to a cute sack. Check out her work and packaging here.
Minna included a little goodie: some sweet vintage wooden beads! thank you sooomuch Minna!

doesn't she hangs nice here! I think she likes it here a lot, for a moment I thought she was whistling :-))

Wide awake

pfff, Insomnia, I hate it!
One of the kids woke me up very early this morning, she is back to sleep, but my head is spinning and I can't sleep anymore!
This is the most early blogpost I ever wrote!

Lately I finished some more necklaces in the African Touch collection, a few are already listed in my shop!
A mix of
- Ethiopean silver beads
- handfelted wool pebbles
- Silk beads from repurposed ties
- recycled distressed wooden beads

Back from the Bazar!

A quick blogpost to thank all my customers who brought me a visit at the Bazar!
I am so happy with all the lovely compliments and the support! It motivates me to create :-)

My Japanese garden rings and earrings were a real hit at the fair! But also the Cool Cat brooches found many new homes :-)

So I'll be there next year, that is for sure!

My blurry head forgot to take my Gift certificates to the fair, so I want to mention them here again! They are in my Etsy shop, but I sell them also offline.

Voor de nederlandstalige lezers: ik heb ook geschenkbonnen te koop, die kunnen per e-mail (fleurfatale@live.com) aangevraagd worden en worden per overschrijving betaald. Wie de bon ontvangt kan online kopen in mijn shop, maar kan ook bij mij thuis langskomen om te kiezen en te passen :-) (en ik ontwerp ook op maat!) :-)

My Friday Night Outfit

I haven't had much time lately, preparing for the fair tomorrow..
and again busy with all sorts of things; like meeting with teachers, therapists,..
but also doctor appointments, hairdressers, ...
Having four kids ( 2 of them with special needs) is really like running a little nursery...

so I just took a pic of my (real life) outfit today (and tonight).
(hm, I look a bit ecxhausted, don't I?)

Maybe I see you at the fair in Ghent...
If you are a follower of my blog, just tell me when you visit me at the Bazar,
I have a little surprise for you...

How to : Pimp your Christmas Tree

Those dark rainy winter days have something positive too!
No need to go outside!, why don't you stay in the house and be crafty.
Adorn your house for the upcoming holidays: make it warm and cosy!
