I'm in love with her work. Gorgeous! Susanna Bauer.

Is it a bird, is it a plane... ?

 

No, it's an upside down bat-bird-house! Cute! Now all I need is a house with a garden with a big tree in it and some sweet birdies to occupy the space.

Typewriter New-School!

My favourite magazine Flow posted this on their blog. An authentic typewriter, new-school! How fabulous is this! Shame that I don't have an old one lying around, but if I find a nice one in a second-hand store someday, I might consider this! Old-school gadgets used in a new-school way, I just love that!

Doortje Vintage

A fabulous website I discovered! With all kinds of vintage wannahave goodies! Check out doortje-vintage.com.

Lightbulb recycled

I came across the site of Theetante San and found this supercool idea for recycling old lightbulbs. I have to try this! It's probably a bit delicate, but for indoors really a great idea. Thank you San!

Peter Pauper

I just bought this exquisite little journal at the bookstore, because I needed (well, wanted, but 'wanting' equals 'needing') a notebook for my new job I'm starting this thursday. It's printed by Peter Pauper Press and I am so thrilled that they sell it in Dutch bookstores too, because I absolutely love the nice prints! The one above was already one of my favourites (the colour is a bit different in real life though, more greenish than purple), it's called Twilight Garden. I also love the Foldover Journals with the magnetic flap. I'd love to have the Butterflies or Floral Birds theme!

I bought a similar notebook a couple years back. This one, to be precise, printed by Paper Blanks. They also have really nice stuff, but less cute and more keltish and leather, like really old books. (I do love old books!)

Vogelbon

On saturday my niece got married. A beautiful wedding! Because they also just bought a new house in Amsterdam, I got them a gift I found one time in a magazine. I loved it! It's called De Vogelbon and what it is, is a gift-certificate for a hand-painted real-sized bird anywhere in your house. The birds you can see on the website are adorable, Petra is a truly gifted artist. I so hope someone will give me the same present when we buy our first house!

New bag!

I bought this bag at Pikula. Love it!! In my last post I said I was going for the black silk clutch, but then I saw this one and it is a perfect colourfull summer wanna-have so I just had to have it!

I also found these adorable little gift-books. They are small books that fit in a matchbox, so therefore: Matchboox. I haven't got one yet, perfect gift though.

I found this short film online. It's by PES, they make more of these. I like!

Atheistic Angel

I love this little naughty angel by Mia Hamborg! She has some other cool things too, like the A4 shelf and the Parat cupboards. Maybe I can convince my boyfriend to work some carpentry into his free time (or try my hand at it myself ofcourse!).

The Dopper

I was out with a friend of mine, when she pulled one of these out of her bag. I loved it immediately! I always have a plastic bottle of water with me. Those bottles get dirty or they break and then you have to buy a new one. Expensive and bad for the environment. This is a hard plastic bottle, can be washed in the dishwasher and is, obviously, re-usable. Also, of every Dopper sold, a percentage goes to Simavi, that promotes clean drinking water in poor countries. I definitely want one! And, of course, the thing was designed by a TU Delft industrial designer.

See the Dopper website in Dutch or in English.
