This weekend my brother Peter married his girlfriend Apple 丽华.
A romantic day in Yongji (China) with snow in the morning!
It was traditional Chinese wedding complete with a banquet, Chinese fireworks and the red enveloppes. It was practical impossible to be there, for us, but they will do it all over (in Belgian tradition then) when they come over at christmas :-)

They look so very happy in the picture I got, Apple is amazingly beautiful in her White Wedding dress!
I want to wish them all the luck in the world and inspired by this lovely Wedding I made a bridal moodboard today!

On Tuesday I did some shopping too, As some of you know I am a volunteer for Oxfam Fair Trade, and I am responsible for the purchase of non food artisan stuff. Last tuesday I went to Fair Trade, a big retailer in Bierbeek (from Dutch Origin) to buy handmade goodies for the Fair this weekend: 'Wereldwinkel geschenkenbeurs'

De Wereldwinkel beurs gaat door dit weekend: zaterdag 28 november in de vrije basisschool, wegvoeringstraat, Laarne.

My creative space today

On my desk today:,
it took me a while to decide what I will work on, today!

- I have plans to make a girly earring collection (from age 8 till 15), I made some fabric studs to sell at the fair sunday and they were very popular, they were priced 9 Euro, and that seems a good price for these girls!

- I have to take up the making of teapot cards too, lots of people ask for them, but yes,... lack of time....


Some cat heads need to be pimped!




- I did made some Japanese Garden earrings yesterday, I gave them silver hooks and now have to put them on the paper tags.


and now I can fill the Japanese Washi rings with resin, kids stuff is all around here, so why not use the Play Doh clay to have a sturdy base for the rings :-))


- I also have an order for a Silk Diva Cascade necklace, so I could wet my hands today and do some felting....


- and finally I will make soup out of this lovely Pumpkin,I got from a very sweet friend, I'll blog about it later when I post the soup recipe!


- But I started cutting those butterflies, I 'tell you soon what I am up to with them :-)

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 :-))
