DIY: Make a rubber stamp

I use my stamp on my broesj-packages. A week ago, Hanneke and I attended the Rubber-stamp Making workshop. The workshop was a gift from me for Hanneke for her wedding. I gave her husband a passport holder ;)

DIY: Gardening at home

While I live on the second floor in an appartment I do not have a very large garden. I only have a small balcony where I have two lovely flowerpots. That’s pretty much the only gardening I do. Inspired by my Pinterest Friends I collected a lot of images on how to do your own gardening in a small space. Think of herb cans, mini green houses and lots of nice plants. Enjoy!

DIY: Craft Fair Stand

The first time me and Broesj were on a craft fair was in the beginning of april 2012. I was very (very!) nervous because I had never done a craft show as a visitor in my life. Oh my… So I searched and searched for lovely craft display examples. And boy did I find some lovely stands. With those in mind I created my own little spot. inspired by all of these: source 1 | source 2 | source 3 Check out my Pinterest board for more craft fair stand inspiration.

Packaging the first wholesale order

Recently I got a super nice e-mail from a shop in Groningen. They wanted to sell my brooches! WOW that was such a nice message to receive. So on a rainy monday I packaged twenty brooches to be shipped to Groningen. On monday’s I sometime work at home, so the packiging took place in the living room. What a mess ;) I included a small envelop with some business cards. As Sas always says ‘the more confetti the better’. So I decorated the envelop with some small confetti (stickers). Fun!
