KIDS

{Designer clothing for kids by Buisjes&Beugels+++}
With the shopping season in mind I thought I write about some great children clothing brands today. I always think that clothes makes such a nice gift (…i know it is a little bit boring for the children, they rather see some real toys) but as a mother I truly appreciate it when my mom sends over some beautiful t-shirts for Lode and I wouldn’t mind receiving one piece of the great childrens collection by Buisjes&Beugels from the Netherlands.

Or how about giving one of these handknitted pieces by Angelique Roelofsen from her label BENK.

Great clothes from MishaLulu with great graphics for the t-shirts made by the owner, Karen from El Salvador herself.

{Baby kimono's from Lucky Wang}

Carina Scott not only is the writer of the great blog and online shop NonchalantMom she also brings you these wonderful products from her other label Lucky Wang. I'm in love with these baby blankets, maybe it has to do with my living here in Asia...I truly admire how Lucky Wang has melted the Asian and Western influences so nicely in these baby clothes and products. Click here for the shop and website.

Bookhou for real

Hello everybody, a new week for all of us and looks like a very exciting one for me anyway...coming Friday I will be going on a 4-day trip to Ho Chi Min City in Vietnam...with three wonderful women I recently met... the trip will only be about shopping, relaxing and trying to find great new places...I'm hoping to make beautiful pictures and show them on Bloesem in a new weekend read.

On Saturday I received a beautiful package from Arouna at Bookhou with some of their lovely products. I think the dye cut felt trivet looks perfect on our own coffee table (right image), love the shape, feels soft and is very functional as well... truly a nice and original gift for the Holiday Season.

And how about this beautiful handmade pillow and rabbit t-shirt. Sorry for the vaque images... they don't do justice to the real products... Lode was so happy with his new t-shirt that he walked around with it all day. The image of the rabbit is so appealing to him and he wants to cuddle it all the time.. very funny! {Thank you Arounna, John and Liam!}

Flying Star toys

I just love these soft animals by Flying Star toys, available here...

Kids furniture

I was searching for some furniture for Lode's room (my little son) and when I saw the yellow one, I knew this is the one...such a bright color and the shape is so beautiful. I also like the brown vintage looking one, but he has to be a little bit older for that one. Both chairs are available at Little Fashion Gallery.

Hello Weekend!

Hi Blogland, It’s been a very busy week for me at Bloesem.  It is great seeing all the new designs that were sent to me over the last few days and finding others through the internet and the magazines. I would like to finish this week by showing you six artists and their studio's, who all create and sell items which I have added to my wishlist.... Enjoy and hope to see you back on Monday!

Just some images from a beautiful brick and mortar store in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Emi is is the owner of Coucou, a decoration store, in Palermo, according to Emi the coolest neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Coucou sells restored and new furniture, lamps, cushions, tablecloth, vases, notebooks, laptop covers, etc. I thought I show you Coucou for some wonderful inspiration. Visit Emi’s blog right here, Micoucou.

These are the most beautiful handpainted stones I have ever seen. I found them on blog Julia Likes and it appears that Julia’s fiancé Yoran is the painter of these stones. Yoran is actually a landscape designer and they both live in the South of France. You can order the stones online at Julia’s blog.

MonsterinMittens is a New Zealand based company, which specializes in producing hand knitted merino baby clothing in vintage styles with a classic twist.  Tracy and Emma are the founders and they employ a collective of handknitters throughout NZ and only use NZ Merino wool including their beautiful soft organic merino wool which is perfect for baby's first woolen garment. I truly love these blankets...if I would be pregnant again…Here you can view and buy their collection.

While scrolling through Trunkts database I found the work by textile designer Yuko Uemura. Yuko is originally from Tokyo, but now living in Chicago. Here she also founded her company PataPri.
