Happy Red Fish

A few weeks ago, on a Amsterdam Blogger Conference, I met Hagar from Happy Red Fish. We had a nice conversation and we exchanged our business cards. She gave me a wonderful  card, showing one of her artworks. I liked it inmediately! It's a combination of my two favorite materials; paper/pictures and thread/textile. The result is a graphical surprise which invites you to take a closer look.

New Series - Simply Black

Especially for business use, Prien developed a series notebooks and writing cases. These practical, yet beautiful utensils make your working day more stylish and easy. Because of the though black cover the notebooks and cases withstand rough handling while they still look great. The fly leaves give each product its own character. Check them out at www.prien.nl!

Webshop Till You Drop

This Saturday and Sunday (October 12th and 13th) Prien will be at the Webshop Till You Drop Fair. The location is great! An old compound feed factory called DeFabrique in Maarssen (close to Utrecht). Come and meet Prien and dozens of other great webshops. Hope to see you this weekend!

Meet the Blogger

Today I will join Meet the Blogger Amsterdam. Interesting program and speakers...I can't wait ...

Swan Market Festival

This weekend the Rotterdam Swan Market will be a two day festival in combination with the World Food Festival. So there will be even more food (and music) - also in the evening - than on a normal Swan Market. It's not only about eating, but also about food knowledge; Stimulate your senses in the Future Food House and don't forget to shop some nice products at the market afterwards :)
Due to other commitments Prien can only join the festival on Sunday. The weather forecast is excellent, so I hope to see you this Sunday!
Have a nice weekend!

 

Harvest Festival

This morning I was at the Harvest Festival at Heemraadsplein in Rotterdam.

The atmosphere at the festival is so calm and relaxed. You can buy a lot of super good en tasty organic food. Ofcourse every exhibitor has products you can taste and if you are too lazy to cook at home, there is plenty of organic 'fast food' choice. I bought some delicious chocolat from Evermore, some Maasstroompjes -typical Rotterdam cookies- and very very old cheese from Kaasboerderij Booij.

You can buy local products every first Saturday of the month at Noordplein in Rotterdam.

Enjoy your weekend! I certainly will :) Some good cheese in the fridge and some nice presents for the birthday party this evening!

Autumn Splendor

Ofcourse summer is great, the sun, the flowers, the temperature, eating dinner on the balcony, and I will certainly miss al those things, but this new season has beautiful treasures as well. For example these Chinese lanterns. Enjoy the autumn!

The day after 'Meet the Blogger Masterclass'

Yesterday I joined the Meet the Blogger Masterclass styling & photograpy. It was a great day!
I learned a lot of new things, and some already known photography basics were refreshed. Ofcourse the best thing were the other bloggers and webshop owners. Talking with people who are interested in the same things as you are is always inspiring! I met a lot of new people and I have a lot of new blogs to follow :)

In the morning we had to fulfill a styling assignment. First we had to create an 'Easy Winter' moodboard using some magazines. This moodboard formed the basis of our styling set. They made it a bit more complicated by adding the demand that we had to use a nice warm winter hat of YAYA and item of HK Living.The nice hat was a present, so I am ready for a cold winter :) Thank you YAYA!

 

Turning the moodboard  ideas into a good styling set was a strenuous but inspiring job. We were allowed to use everything that was exhibited at the Toonkamer. They have such beautifull furniture, so it was marvellous 'to shop for your set'. The nice and practical beige paper bags I used are from Uashmama.

It was a great day! Good to have been there!

Meet the Blogger Masterclass

Tomorrow I will join the 'Meet the Blogger Masterclass Photography & Styling' in Utrecht.

This one day masterclass  has a focus on photography and styling. ANOUKB of ANOUKB interiors and Wendy van Woudenberg of BeeldSTEIL Photography and Styling will teach us the secrets of styling, photography and blogging. I am very curious!

The workshop will be given in the inspiring Toonkamer in Utrecht. The Toonkamer use to be the Pastoe furniture factory. Nowadays the Toonkamer is a platform where more than 30 Dutch and international Interior design brands present their new collections.

Simply beautiful

Just a simple watering can on a norwegian sidewalk. Such nice colours.
