Like I mentioned on Bloesem Kids, Easter is just around the corner. Since I don't have children yet, sometimes Easter can feel rather boring. I mean Easter egg hunts are the best, and it isn't as fun when my husband and I do it...and don't get me started on what happens if we include our bulldog's. With that said, to keep my Easter spirits high - I thought it might be fun to put together some adult focused Easter items. - Tiffany King

This whale is a vase and the blowhole is where you put your bitty flowers. So adorable!
How fabulous are these ceramics? They are from a company in Japan called Kusafune, and I have to admit there are some things lost in translation that not even google translate is making clear, but that's what is fantastic about such gorgeous creativity - you really don't need to know the language to fall in love. You can find out more about Kusafune on their blog here, and check out the retailers that carry their ceramics here.
This sweet elephant vase with the little bird on the back would make any shelf look better.
There is just something about sheep that I can not resist. Where I live they are everywhere, and I am always telling my husband that someday I will own sheep, so before that is possible...I think I'll take all of these please. - Tiffany King

Let's Get Personal with Sandra from Studio de Winkel
D:: Dutch is ... inspiring designers scene, open minded and fresh ideas. And i love the seasons in Holland. I don’t like the cold winters but because of the winter i so can appreciate the spring & summer
E:: entrance, when entering my home you will notice., the art that surround us and makes our home more personal.

G:: gardening is something i like in my dreams, but in reality a don’t take the time. So I like wild gardens
I:: interesting places in my city are…in Utrecht you have old houses beautiful mixed with ultra modern houses. I like the contrast. And the Singel (defence canal around the old city centre) with its parks and bridges. It is nice walking along the water on a sunny day, specially in the Spring
N:: new, in my home is...a beautiful textile artwork from Marloes Duyker, I love her work, also you see beautiful work of her at studiodewinkel.nl , and she makes also nice jewelry with a twist.
H:: hobby, I always make time for...culture and visiting museums. I’d like to be surprised through contemporary art. In Tilburg you have the museum the Pont and in Rotterdam Museum Boymans van Beuningen . I always get inspiration there and beautiful emotions. And i like so much to visit ateliers from designers and artist for studiodewinkel.nl. And on Friday evenings I have salsa dancing lessons with my friend, perfect beginning of the weekend.
M:: magazines I love to read are….Collect, Elle decoration, StijlvolWonen, Objekt, Flow
O:: outfit, my favorite thing to wear is... twiggy dress with booties
E:: enjoy, I can't live without. My family and my work for Studioderuimte and Studiodewinkel.nl . And I enjoy being in contact with other creative and inspiring people.

Interior architect Sandra de Bekker from the Netherlands always had an eye for the more artsy type of interior accessories. Two years ago she decided to open up her own online shop offering only these kind of accessories and I love visiting her shop, ot only to buy but to find and see new designers and creators like Lammer&Lammers below...

Elisabeth DUnker and Anna Backlund designed this porcelain collectors' set for RYM... a new brand launching in april 2012. I am absolutely sure it will be a big hit... and with me probably being the biggest tableware lover I am drooling over these :):)

You can find these lovelies here and here.
I am not sure if our Bloesem audience can help, but I need it! As I have mentioned before - I am in the process of restoring and refreshing my first home. I have a very big crush on anything bee related...one might even say obsessed, but I would love to find some fabulous bee print wallpaper. That is where you come in - do you know of any? Can you help this bee loving lady? - Tiffany King
