Blog Sabbatical..........

{(in)visíveis . (in)visible I digital prints from Ana Ventura}
it was very difficult for me to decide with what post I would sign off for my blog-sabbatical ... but I think doing this with Ana Ventura is very appropriate for me ... when I started blogging I never expected that Bloesem would become such a very important part of my (and my husbands) life ... it was Bloesem who introduced us to so many talented people around the globe which I'm sure we would otherwise never been able to find ... Bloesem has enriched our lives in multiple ways, new online friends, new ideas, a new way of thinking about many things and most certainly Bloesem has filled our house with many beautiful items that I bought myself along the way or were given to me by beautiful people often as a thank you for giving them a humble platform online ...

My husband and I are off to a new start in a 'real' house, no more apartments for this couple, instead a garden and an upstairs! During the coming weeks I will of course once in a while show you some images of our decoration adventures and progress ... one thing is for sure the amazing art pieces which we bought from Ana Ventura the other day are getting a prominent spot in our home ... (you can see all the prints right here)

 

Leaves me with saying how grateful I am to all of you my dear readers, thank you for your comments, support and emails. A big thank you to my sponsors who made Bloesem possible for me ... and all my blogriends, who linked to Bloesem and helped my readership to grow ... I'm going to miss you, but I will soon be back in the beginning of August!! ...and once in a while a small post because I just can't resist it...

Enjoy your time away from Bloesem. I will miss my daily dose of inspiration until you return. Enjoy the time with your two boys and setting up house. I can't wait to see the photos. What a wonderful post to show of Ana's work. Thanks to you and Bloesem you introduced me to Ana as well. One of my absolute favorite artists! Stay tuned for a new letterpress print by Ana at Twig. :)

[christiaan]

hi irene, a sabbatical is a very wise thing to do, time for refelexion! renske and i are currently in italia for, yes, a sabbatical. we're staying in lucca until september. as such, i have had time to frequently visit bloesem and am always very impressed. it must be sad to leave it all for a while, but better things will come from the break, at least that's what we think. love and kisses, christiaan

[Astrid]

Enjoy your well deserved break, Irene. Good luck in your new home.

[hedy]

Hi Irene, I´ll miss my daily Bloesem-read but wish you, Rik and the boys a lovely time during your blog-sabbatical. Thank you for the always inspirational posts, tips and pictures! Enjoy!
