I just posted a tweet about the traveling item post part 1. But then Saskia, the sender of The Item, asked me if I saw the apple underneath the confetti-mountain. Apple? What apple?! So i ran to the confetti enveloppe, poured it onto a plate and there it was: an apple brooch! An unexpected hidden gem that was hidden in my house for a while. Thank you so much Sas!

The Traveling Vintage Item
I loveeee to find packages in my mailbox. And this weekend there was one, yes! Nicely wrapped in with my favorite twine. But wait, there was a small envelop on top! This made me smile. Saskia, one of my Twitter friends, is always telling the most hilarious stories about confetti on Twitter. This may sound a bit weird but you have to imagine a random tweet about a meal/day/feeling/whatever and then Sas will tweet :*throws confetti in the air” So when I opened the small envelop, you may guess it: there was CONFETTI :) In there […]

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!
