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.

Broesj for the first time in a ‘real’ shop
It’s a historical day. Broesj is for the first time for sale in a ‘real’ shop. Yeah! Check out this first snap shot, took by the shop owner herself. Do you see the brooches (and my business cards?) hanging on a thread? I really like what they have done. It is inspired on my brooch-display I made for shops to use. I saw some other photographs, the shop looks amazing. I would love to go there someday, but for now I’m unfortunately to busy to drop by in Groningen (it’s quit far from Amsterdam). If you […]
