christmas mini-market in my street next Saturday

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift or a last-minute Sinterklaas-gift?

Coming Saturday, december 4th, I'm organising a Christmas mini-market with and at Mondo Mediterraneo, next to my house. Mondo will be selling their lovely food and culinairy gifts, I will be selling some of my beautiful styling accessories, fabrics and materials, but also some baby clothes (girls, size 50 - 80). As we speak (or rather: read) I'm working on some home made Christmas decorations with Maaike Koorman, who is also a designer. I'm also selling some beautiful hand made stuff made by my sister Pauline Rammeloo. And probably some other friends will join in as well, amongst whom Jeske Weel. So, if you happen to be in Amsterdam (or if you live here) next Saturday, drop by! The address is: Czaar Peterstraat 174, we'll start at 11:00 and it will (probably) end at 18:00.

I love books

I received a beautifully wrapped parcel in the mail. I saved it for a while, because I loved the wrapping so much that I wanted to have a picture of that as well. Today I had time to do some picture taking and unwrapping, assisted by my two lovely ladies. I loved the parcel, but I love what's in it even more! Three beautiful, leather covered diaries, in soft pastels. They are hand made by Marjolein Delhaas. The leather covered diaries are a limited edition, a perfect Christmas gift (I hope that the two persons I'm giving it to are not reading this) (I'm keeping one for myself). You can find more beautiful books, dairies and journals on Marjolein's webshop I love Book. Me too! Jeske Weel gave this tip to me through Facebook, thanks Jeske!

I'm still so very happy with my camera, the Olympus Pen E-P2, because it allows me to capture magical moments like these, first snow, in such a beautiful way.
