1050 bruxelles

we went to brussels yesterday and discovered some nice adresses.

like "le typographe" (paperworks, online magazine here).

bought this "papier d'armenie", little rose sented paper which you have to burn to get rid off dirty odors (let you know how it worked out)

we had lunch in "l'epicerie, cuisine du marché" (66, rue du page), they serve just one plate a day, we had a delicious lasagna.

treated myself with a silver ring (forgot the shop's name, but it's also in rue du page)

finally got to see "little circus", a cute children's shop. they are also in paumes' "belgium family style" and they sell lots of other paumes books. check their blog!

more beautiful shops: "rose" an "boucle d'or"

before getting on the train again, we ended at "lilicup" with coffee and cupcake.

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?

all the luck in the world

Graphic designer and artist Jane Schouten loves to combine found and thrifted articles with her own colourful personal touch. Very inspiring and we love all these happy colors.

nina in vorm

Dutch artist Nina van de Goor sells wonderful redecorated ceramics and collages. Her blog is also very inspiring.
