The Summer 'Look' of my workshop

The artwork is hardly visible anymore, but isn't she a beauty? Every winter I cut this plant down, hoping it'll grow wide the next year...
Today a young man rang the door bell, to ask if he could take seed after bloom.

Charlotte's kitchen shelf - part 4

My grandma's dinnerset - or what is left of it...
It's an earthenware set, produced by the Maastricht Ceramics Factory. 





Charlotte's kitchen shelf - part 3

Tante (aunt) Annie's fruit bowl. This is such a nifty design! Freshly washed fruit goes on top of the 'drainer device': the excess water leaks through and the fruit stays dry. It's like an inside-out colander. I feel very blessed I inherited this wonderful piece. It sits on my 'kitchen shelf' next to my mum's cake plates. On the bottom there's a mark" Zaalborg, Holland. 


 


Charlotte's kitchen shelf - part 2

My mothers cake plates. I always loved this set. I used to ask my mum to be careful with them, because I hoped to own them 'when I was grown up'. Later, my mum gave them to me as a birthday present. I think there used to be more small plates. The set is made by Flora, a Dutch earthenware factory which was founded in 1945, just after WWII and still exists as Royal Goedewaagen.

This wonderful kitchen set came from my grandma's kitchen. 
She gave it to me many many years ago. There is no 'factory stamp' on the bottom of any of the items, so origin is unknown. There must have been so many of these sets. I am curious what happened to them...

Interesting discovery

You know... I just like to "make" things. To a point that it hardly matters what, as long as it delivers a result I can hold in my hands, show or sell even.
There's a whole world of crafty people out there, and many of them have blogs. This is one of them. Check out the 'purple girl' with her tutorials!

Working on the new website

Working on the new general website. Me in ceremics and in graphic design. The more I work on the integration of my ceramic 'side' and my 'graphic design' side, the clearer it gets... Phoey :-)
