I believe it was Joelle who first introduced me to the wonderful work of Australian based company inaluxe...in 2006 Kristina Sostarko started inaluxe out of passion for art and in May 2010 long-time friend, Jason Odd, joined inaluxe. Both are former art students and their philosophy for work and life is: 'make it beautiful, use the best materials possible, and be responsible and sustainable in production practice' ... nice i think! Go here for shopping and here for seeing their inspirations...

Can I start with a nice event that I went to during last weekend... the Etsy Malaysia craft market. Just at the last minute I found out there was going to be an Etsy market and luckily for me no other plans were made... so together with two friends we went...and it was nice, small, but very nice! I truly hope this is the beginning of a re-occurring event here in Kuala Lumpur, becasue there are many talented people here in Asia and we should be encourage them to sell their handmade goods.
Together with KLUE magazine the Etsy Malaysia team organized the day and for me it was really nice to meet people like Michelle from and of course Amy from Pikaland...my goodness we have been emailing each other for the longest time and now we finally met in person...she is just as nice as you can imagine from seeing her blog!
And these were some of the etsy sellers I really liked (above in the image) minifanfan ; totodudo ; folktalestudio ; loveandcraft the image in the upper left corner is from etsy malaysia local blog.
and the owls in image on the right are from Fong's Studio...

A little while ago I started this new column on Bloesem and I do think it's nice to get an idea of how products are being displayed in actual shops...not everything should be about online and the internet right? I came accross Bl-ij via OrangeFarmHouse and loved the pictures that I saw especially beacuse I just found this designer online and loved her paper-cups and then seeing them in the windowdisplay over at BL-ij. ...image below are the paper-cups by Yvette Jacobs.
Bl-ij recently opend it's doors in the city centre of Arnhem...Bibi de Lang is the shop owner and she only sells Paper Products including the ones from her own label. You can read more about Bl-ij right here and if you would like to visit her blog than click here...
