Mihaeko is behind these beautiful products, and it was such a pleasure scrolling through her website and blog. Definitely and interesting background behind the start of Starling Brood which also included her inspirations of working with singer Björk. So cool! I would love to see pictures of her work back then too. These are some of my favorite things from her collection. I am very attracted to these colors for a home, with a hint of wood too. Enjoy!

Jenna Postma

Jenna Postma is a wonderful young designer that creates from the heart. Working with different materials, Jenna produces simple everyday items with a little bit of her own story.

Do you recognize these? These ceramic necklaces are of the everyday view of Dutch architecture. What is your building of choice? A farmhouse? A church? I would go for the mill!

The jewelry box is the other piece I would like to mention because I was excited it’s a standing jewelry box. Being a girl herself Jenna thought that it would be useful if you could hang your necklaces in the box. Yes that’s perfect! If you don’t want the high legs, there are smaller ones for tables and walls. ~Sufiya

Foekje Fleur

It's about time that I write about Dutch designer Foekje Fleur once more here on Bloesem. She has so many new wonderful designs since I saw her amazing porcelain plates for the first time. When I saw how young this designer is, born in 1988, i first felt very old :) but more importantly am curious to see what this talent is going to bring in the long future ahead of her...

Above a series of bottles in porcelain using molds from wasted plastic bottle that were found in Dutch river the Maas ... I think the colors are so beautiful. You can buy them online in her shop. 

 

Quick Start: Ceramics by B. Fiess

I have fallen deeply for these Utilitarian ceramic Vessels by B.Fiess... a little bit more about this American native on his about page ... 

some places online where you can pre-oreder the vessels; Leif ; iko iko ; ship&shape ; .. I still haven't decided which color combination I like best. But just looking at the page gives me so much color inspiration. Would love to hear what you think about them? 

Spring in the Kitchen

We've been having such gorgeous weather these past couple of weeks, that it has gotten me in the spring mood. My kitchen needs a major redo, but I can't afford that right now - so instead I like to daydream about what I'd love to put in it. Currently, anything spring like. Wind and Willow Home just opened a shop on etsy called Dipped, and it is love for me. All those gorgeous colors.

I love items being dipped, I am tempted to start dipping items in my own home to see how they would turn out. Such a simple and lovely idea.

Something more on the softer side of spring coloring, but just as inviting - the Pools Collection by Zoe Garred from Fleet. Each item is handmade in a stoneware ceramic.
