Bloesem Class: The Perfect Gift

To round up the gift giving, we thought we'd share with you the most thoughtful of all the gifts. A Bloesem Class. Purchase a Bloesem Class for a friend or loved one and let them learn a new skill, pick up a new hobby and enrich their lives in 2015! In the spirit of Christmas, buy a class for a friend and attend it together! We promise you a great time and maybe even a life changing experience.

It is going to be an exciting 2015 with our line up of teachers and classes next year! We've spent the past few months planning the classes for the coming year... we'll have new classes as well as some 2014 classes that are back by popular demand.. so if you've missed them last year, this is your chance to sign up! Expect lots of drool-worthy snap shots, fancy calligraphy and colorful weaving and macrame..

Coming Soon: Bloesem Gazette Vol. 3

We hope you enjoy reading the Bloesem Gazette as much as we enjoy creating it! We're currently working on a very exciting third issue (don't want to spill too much of the beans yet). Of course this time we will once again create an e-gazette for our international readers but for our Singapore readers, you will be able to get your hands on the Bloesem Gazette at many hotspots across Singapore. 

The Bloesem Gazette is Free and we distribute 3,000 copies around Singapore. We are looking for partners to make the Gazette the best it can be. If you would like to work together with us please drop us an email at bloesemads[at]me[dot]com.

Joinery NYC

Anyone feels like December is the ultimate nesting period? We can easily say there's been an increased number in moms-to-be and other lovely couples coming into the Bloesem store for home accessories and assorted cosy items. It must be the holiday mood everyone is in.. 

Joinery has an amazing selection of home accessories (they even sell Men and Women's wear but that's a whole other story). From ceramics to ladders to bells, really unique stuff that are all beckoning us .. on top of that the emphasis on quality and craftsmanship of their pieces blows us away. We would love to visit their store in Brooklyn for a little look see..
