intro

my new addiction: KEEP

Are you already a 'keeper' ... ?

Keep.com is a new stunning place online where you find the best products for every occasion curated by all of us.

What I mostly like about KEEP is that it has a PURPOSE: it is the perfect way of keeping an online archive of presents I would like to give or buy for myself, just click the image and it will take you directly to the shop where you can buy the product. 

I can already see the how much keep.com is going to help me when curating gift guides for the Holiday Season and I like the fact that it helps online shops in the best way possible.

Just a little note: the lovely Rachel from the awesome Handmade Charlotte made me her no. 1 keeper to follow ... yes that is a BIG compliment as she is a true lady of Style!... hope you are going to follow me too!

 

Just some things I found at KEEP : 1. Owl mobile at sah-rah  2. dollhouse at roominate 3. Bubble set via Carousel

Bloesem Garage Sale

Yesterday I opended this online shop thinking of a garage sale but than an online one...

It is time for my family and me to move house again and I thought selling my goodies and collectables online would make more sense than bringing them along in carton boxes...

All the products you find in my shop originate from previous entrepreneurial endeavors... I once had my own stationery collection, selling at BARNEYS New York and Selfridges & Co in London, designed a baby shoe collection that was sold in many shops in the Netherlands, almost started a knitting shop in Toronto, but had to move on again... and all the other goodies are small collections I bought during my travels in Asia…

Hope you like my goodies!

 

Best Boutiques online via Babyccino Kids

Yesterday was a very important day for my lovely friends esther, courtney and emily... they launched their online portal curating the best children’s boutique webshops ... and oh boy such an amazing job these 3 wonderful ladies have accomplished... a very smart idea to expand their blog like this. It will be the first thing that comes to my mind now when I start shopping for friends or my own kids or when I have to guide someone in a certain direction... the best place to start shopping! Of course the beautiful 'looks' are all due to the amazing creativeness of petita alma... her lovely illustrations go so well with all the kiddie goodness.

And yes Vivien and I were very proud that Babyccino Kids invited us too to host our Wear Neon collection. To celebrate this we have added some extra new colors of crystals to our shop... i absolutely love the new olive green hearts and stars, hope you do to. Sales have gone very well so far, at the moment we even have a small problem supplying ourselves with silver closings... anyone has a tip for us where to buy this please help us :)

FamStore

 

A little card arrived in my mailbox the other with day with this cute sticker called Bloesem... the ladies Frederique and Marloes, who sent it to me are from the Netherlands and they started a fantatsic online webshop called fam.store*.

Of course what attracted most to me were the images in the lookbook. They give you just the right feel how to use and deorate the items that you buy in their shop. Hope they give you inspiration too and perhaps find a gift you really like!

Sponsor Spotlight: Parasols

I love shops thay pay so much attention to their front-page or should I say 'shop-window' like Parasols has done. The beautiful illustrations (by leslie dallion) bring you exactly in the right mood to do some shopping don't you think? Parasols is a boutique for babies and children, offering a unique collection of clothing and toys. My Favorites are: girls leggings:monkey kit;jigsaw kit; airplane tee; magugu toto quilt... I just found out free shipping on all orders of $75 and more....
