shop update

Hello everyone,
busy days!
I am looking forward to a long weekend in Amsterdam (with mister hubby, no kids)
the weather forecast is promising!
But first finish lots of things and send off lots of packages! (not to speak about lots of random house hold and family things that pop up)...
and listing new things in my shop! Find the tecxtile necklaces above here in my shop.

A moodboard full of cuteness this time!

Wear it as you like!

Thanks a lot for your cooperation (in the previous post).
I decided to finish this one with an adjustable silk ribbon. So one day you can wear it longer, the other day as a choker, fitting your oufit!!
All beads are handmade by me! the wool is ecologic and te silk is repurposed (from a shawl). Te silver beads are from Ethiopean origin.
This textile necklace is very comfy and super lightweight, perfect for spring and summer. It's in my shop right now!

long or short?

Lately I have been working on new fruity textile necklaces (part of them are custom orders)
I am always doubting about the lenght, that is why I often chose for making adjustable necklaces.
I thought it was fun to do a little survey about this. Just because :-)

Look what I won!

It does not happen much, but if it happens that I win a giveaway, it makes me jump in the air !
This time I won the give-away of my dear EST friend from Finland Karuski. I chose a beautiful pair of vintage earstuds, from her shop.
They arrived last week, so wonderfully packed! Minna also spoiled me with a beautiful card, a matching hairpin and a sweet Birdie Key chain!!
Thanks so much Minna, it's always a treat to recieve your packages!

look what I found :-)

I found these lovely Dutch vintage wooden playblocks at the local thriftshop,
I can't find out how it should be played, but some of the illustrations are real cute!
And so funny the makers could not think of an illustration for the letter Q :-)


I thought they would be nice to be repurposed as big bold brooches,
what do you think?
I decided to keep the tiger! :-)
