On Willemiens kitchen shelf

The beautiful old cups of WiIllemiens mother. There used to be many more, only three survived, now standing next to the old salt glazed 'salt jar' of Willemiens grandma. Isn't this great?!! I really love the tulips on the cups. Very stylish. I am not sure if they are porcelain or earthenware. I'll find out!



On Myriam's kitchen shelf


Myriam bought these wonderful treasures from a potter in Fez. I love the shape and the decoration, which is typical traditional Fez. It's earhtenware, with a white glaze on which the decoration is painted. The mugs are not fired at a very high temperature, which makes them kind of vulnerable.







On Loeke's kitchen shelf

This beautiful old French kitchen set on Loeke's  kitchen shelf is not signed, so I have no idea where it comes from, who made it etc. Might be nice to look into. Could be the start of a new series: what is on my friends' kitchen shelves!

Inspiration revisited

This is an old post from the facebook page - true inspiration! Photographs by Karl Blossfeld.












Wilhelmina Ducks

This weekend I decided to rename the ducks. They are now called "Wilhelmina Ducks". Wilhelmina is my middle name, after my favorite auntie Wil. Ofcourse there are still the baby ducks, the blue&white ducks and the habibi-ducks. I'll post more pics soon.


Idea's from the sketch book

New hobby?

Now... do I think I need a new hobby? No! But I sure liked the drop-in glass blowing workshop Elin Isaksson gave in Alloa, Scotland. Check out her website
