La Fleur Olive
La Fleur et la mer
Ok, the weekend is almost gone.

We enjoyed catching up with some friends
We booked a nice house nearby Boulogne...
I bought some lovely vintage ties at the local thrifting shop (soon to be repurposed!)
I have been felting pebbles in springy colors! for my textile line.
I made some yummie Vietnamese loempias.
I managed to clean up my workspace (but not ready yet)
and I edited some pictures I took on friday: new necklaces for spring!

find some other weekend wishlists on Karuski's blog.

Even voorstellen

Een leuke lieve blogwebsite voor alle mama's met een crush voor kinderboeken,
ook wel voor kids op zoek naar een tof boek en natuurlijk ook voor 'voorlees'papa's.
Evelien leest de boeken voor je en maakt een beknopte samenvatting.

Evelien schrijft zelf boeken voor kleine en grote kinderen: prentenboeken, informatieve boeken en leesboeken, en ze geeft workshops en komt op aanvraag voorlezen.
en 'off the record': Evelien is een hele toffe mama van 3 kids en kan ongelofelijk lekker en gezond koken. :-)
Je vind Evelien's website en blog hier.

Shop Update

La Libellulle necklace in brass


seashore earrings in brass


Harara Tribal earrings sterling silver


Pink Julia verdigris earrings in sterling silver

Fleur de bois necklace in copper

Although I can't do what I want because of the lack of time (:-(() I manage bit by bit to create new jewelry for the upcoming season.
It's seems like I am in a green minty mood lately....
I love that color, it combines good with copper and brass but also with silver.
Some of these designs are already in my shop!

What the postman brought me......

I could not resist anymore.
Finally I bought(here)some of that gorgeous Japanese washi masking tape!
Even taking pictures of it was a joy, love those warm saturied colors!
making packages was never before such a nice job :-) Ah well!

My new cards

Have you seen the new cards I designed for Fleurfatale? I mixed and matched some of my pictures, and combined mostly by colortones. The format is cute: 8 x 8 cm, the perfect size to me :-) I am glad I can use my graphic background once in a while.

a virtual hug!

Today my thoughts go out to two sweet ladies. They face hard times these days.
I want to give them a virtual hug!
Keep up H. an V.!

the circle of life (Lyrics from the Lion King)

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
