This cute little movie only shows again how super creative and talented Klaartje from Keecie really is! Together with photographer Sandy 'birds and dogs' are flying out of the bag!
The dark blue couch potato pad sleeve must be my favorite piece from their latest collecction but I still love using my 'mini me' for my business cards.


ps. would you like to see where Klaartje lives? Click here it will bring you to her gorgeous Amsterdam home.

Some wonderful collaborations in the new autumn / winter collection 2014 by minä perhonen. You know that I am a huge fan of his work. And always enjoy sharing his latest pieces. But this time it's perhaps even more interesting because of the new products with Wasara, Torafu and diptyque.
'The Picnic Kit' to celebrate Wasara's 5th anniversary. Such a smart idea from Torafu architects to invite minä perhonen and pattern the gorgeous air vases. Who doesn't love diptyque and diptyque loves minä perhonen just as much as I do!

Orla Kiely Presentation LFW AW/13 from James Hatt on Vimeo.
Sometimes things really come together..like this morning while preparing another lesson for Blogging Your Way - BlogBoss - I was doing some research online and stumbled upon this amazing video from Orla Kiely’s newest collection ...
You might wonder what Orla Kiely , BlogBoss and my lessons have in common, well ... Friday's lesson will be all about "Planning, prioritizing and handling unexpected surprises as a full-time blogger" and "staying true to your own style"...
Orla Kiely 's presentation of her new aw13 winter collection captures exactly how I picture the ideal home office environment – very, very stylish but also structured and functional. Planning and coping with big or small home-office disasters will be a walk in the park in an environment like this…perhaps I should dress up as well each day….pyjamas sort of look out of place in such a sophisticated workplace…
I just LOVE it! thanks Orla for your world of inspiration. [MORE IMAGES BELOW]

{1. and 2. The Letter Clutch by Kindred Holiday 3. and 4. The Carrier}
Hello everyone, the last time Moop was on Bloesem we showed you their new waxed canvas bags. Now who got themselves one? This time bringing Moop back for the holiday season with these favorite items in delicious rosewood. The Carrier would be a personal favorite because of its size and many compartments for an easy travel. The Letter Clutch would be a nice addition for a casual clutch. These would make perfect gifts, as you know girls will always appreaciate a nice bag.

Come and see this beautiful home .. again :) ... here on Bloesem. Hellen van Berkel who lives here already shared her amazing place with us a couple of years ago, but this time my friend Marjon Hoogervorst made the pictures, not only of her home but also of her new collection gorgeous silk scarves ... I really like what Marjon did to the images scarves ... letting them flow and bringing them to live ... [READ and SEE MORE after the break]



Hellen van Berkel is a textile designer living in the Netherlands. The images you see here are part of a whole series featured in the October issue of Dutch magazine VTWonen. Her place is amazing and I totally understand why VTWonen liked to feature her.
What I really like in Hellen her home are the colors. She has a talent for combining different colors, perfect tones. When I see the floor in the kitchen below I would never have thought about choosing these tcolored tiles, but the look superb! Making this kitchen special and I believe easy to maintain.


Perhaps best to send VTWonen an email if you would like to see the issue.
