Bloesem

A dream comes true...

...tonight I will see her ... listen to her voice ... her magic music ... I can't even begin to express myself of what this means to me! Her music is magic... my favorite ...will she sing it for us tonight?

A long time ago I told my husband when we were watching her live concert dvd at home that I could only dream of going to a concert of her and just by coincidence my husband saw a billboard yesterday about tonights concert. Can you believe there were still tickets left...???

It's a beautiful day today.

Ink+Wit

and this is the calendar I'm planning to buy for the new year, I'm sure it will look very nice hanging next to my desk and  when a month has gone by I will frame the prints.Tara really has outdone herself this year!!

Update :: I bought it, it arrived and it's so much more beautiful when you have it in your hands and I'm very happy I have choosen this calendar!!

Fiasask

Suddenly I remembered that I have been planning to post about Fiasask from Belgium for a long time but somehow never have ... so when I visited Fia's site again today I saw her latest handmade designs ... gorgeous wooden lampshades .. Fia's blog ...

Libby Ryan

I often find things for children that I like to write about on BloesemKids but the artist or designer also makes nice things for us...the moms and dads, so I have to show it here too... like Libby Anderson, who is a designer originally from Portland, Oregon but currently lives with her fiance and their dog Hudson in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Libby graduated from the School of Architecture at University of Oregon. Don't you just like this horse pattern on the pillow? For more about Libby and what she likes visit her blog.

miller goodman

Playshapes by miller goodman ...toys for us or for kids? I love them ...here's to a new golden medal!

ps. a question for you...do you like this 'linkwithin' widget? I'm not sure yet, perhaps a bit messy and to much info...would love to hear your opinion!

Cocca

Zig zag, a pincushion and measuring lint from Cocca in Japan...done in the most beautiful way you can think of.

 

I also liked this idea of creating your own wall-piece by covering a board with your favorite fabric and then put some artwork on it...I'm sure if you browse through cocca's website you will enjoy although the information will not be easy to read :) ...fashion, zakka, interior and more ...Cocca.

Living in Kuala Lumpur

No this is not the house where I live :) but ever since my husband and I landed here in Kuala Lumpur this incredible house intrigues us enormously! We often drive by 'the spaceship', as my husband and I like to call it, because our friends live nearby...of course from the road you can only see so much...so yesterday I thought I'm going to search on the internet for this property and it quickly popped up on my screen ... the CoolHunter recently wrote a post about the stunning residence and the architects who designed it...Paris-based Agence Jouin Manku.

...wouldn't it be nice if one day the family invites me over for a coffee so I can see this incredible place from within it's walls. I never expected it to be this big, because it's so modest and well done from the outside.

Rose Patate

Last week I was showing some of the fabulous things Rachel Peloquin designs for kids. But this creative lady from Paris also makes stunning designs for us grown-ups... her screenprints, patterns and handmade jewelry are according to me stunning! She calls herself Rose Patate and you can find her blog and shop right here...

To Dry For

I can't get enough of mice tea towels ... I regard them as beautiful printed peices of fabric  that I can decorate our home with ... I sometimes even use them to make pillows...so what nicer then to discover this website ... ToDryFor ... it specializes in designer tea towels. A husband and wife team based in Oxford, England, have sourced over 100 designs from more than 20 different designers...my selection above :: by Lisa Jones Studio... and below :: by Thornback adn Peel...by KeepCalmGallery...by solitaire ...

What is there not to Love...

I told you about how I wished I could go to the Dutch Design Week this year, but this morning I was already happy browsing through the incredible work by Lenneke Wispelwey, who together with Paula Arntzen, is showing her porcelain and paper designs during this event.... wowo...everything Lenneke makes is just stunning and a feast for the eye ...I started with her 'flower me' (vases) series and have sent an email to Lenneke immediately to see if she can ship this vase overseas :) ...

Then I clicked on Lenneke's 'buttons' ...and was stunned again by the beauty I saw...the buttons are available here and here...

and ohh how could I have missed these 'cakestands' series last year... Lenneke, thank you for creating your beautiful things for us!
