for each day of the week

What ring shall I wear today?

with this one, I have "endless" combinations.

and all together it looks très chique.

note books

it's about time to confess another addiction of us: collecting notebooks (but we use them as well!)

we are both fond of these ones.

designed by o-check

a collection a day: the book

It is out now (as 2010 has gone)! You can preorder the book here and if you want to take a peak first, Lisa Congdons' blog is still online.

As Christmas-time is over (read: no more presents until birthday, pffft) we will have to spoil ourselves, haha. Btw, the book comes packaged in a special collectors' tin. Do we need to persuade more?

wrapping paper

We have to confess another addiction: we keep buying wrapping paper, even if we still have enough. At the bottom you see Eva's collection.

Once a year we go to "Het Paleis" where you can get it for free (actually it is meant to cover your school books with). The design is from Rob Marcelis.

fleamarket

It was nice yesterday at Vintage Bazaar. I forgot my camera, so no pictures yet. We build the market outside (instead of inside "de serres") on a cute grass field with cherry trees and a huge weeping-willow (my favourite tree, I remember myself asking one at Santa Claus).

I bought this hot-mama dishtowel. It's from Blue Q but here you can buy it at Lolalifelines.

Today: fleamarket, cleaning and chilling-day. It is hot in Antwerp but I love it!

These are my treasures of the fleamarket:

- a little brocante mirror (its going to look good on the toilet wall)

- le creuset cast iron pans (yes, another addiction...)

tin and tape

new paper tape bought at pichouline and tin at lolalifelines

two happy webshops for instant happyness!

paumes

jeehaa! I've received three paumes books by post today (ordered at yvestown webshop):

ateliers de filles 2

san fransisco kitchens

chambres d'enfants à paris

allright, I admit, this is another addiction...

These japanese books always make me very happy (and who doesn't like to see other people's interiors?)

even though you don't understand a word of it (all written in japanese), the photography of hisashi tokuyoshi gives a lot of inspiration.

in the picture below you can see him at work at eva's place (two months ago)!

the belgium paumes book will be ready soon, we'll let you know!

NY

our dear friend monique went to New York with her teenagers.

they had a great time, nice weather and did a lot of shopping

seems like we are a bit jealous (well ok, we are)

and look, she even bought us a souvenir: jelly beans and a little kidrobot "lucky zipper pull"

the fun of these kidrobots is that you don' t know in advance which puppet you will find in the box.

shoes

these little shoes are never used

never fitted my daughter

probably will never be worn

but I like them too much

paper art

we are very fond of jurianne matters' paper art.

she also designed paper boats, garlands...

buttons

I bought these vintage buttons today.

yummie

bought this earl grey sugar at dômestic.

it's yummie!

(and as a real bergamot-flavour addict nice to try)

fine necklaces

we like necklaces!

the one on top is made by beer in blik (webshop as well)

they also have cute earrings...

the other one is a "Eva V." and for sale (mail us at info@zezaflor.be)

pez

yes!

we are addicted to pez.

even if there is no place left to put them on the little shelf in the kitchen

we keep buying them

(and somethimes they get a bath)

masking tape

i am a little bit addicted to masking tape (read: "a lot").

these come from tas-ka's webshop.

they have a blog too.
