Noorderzon!

Vandaag is Noorderzon van start gegaan. De kijkdoos en containerwinkel van Grun(n) Gemaakt zijn vandaag geopend. En morgen beginnen de workshops voor kids. In de containershop kun je handgemaakte zaken van Grun(n) Gemaakt bewonderen en kopen. Grun(n) Gemaakt is er iedere dag van 16.00 tot 21.00 uur tot en met 28 augustus.  

Ik probeer er zo vaak mogelijk bij te zijn. Kom jij ook?

In de kijkdoos kun je je eigen decor samenstellen en een polaroidfoto van je laten nemen, als aandenken.

Today Noorderzon started. The show-box and containershop have opened and we've already welcomed visitors. Tomorrow kids workshops are starting. 

You can admire and buy handmade goods by the Grun(n) Gemaakt artists in the containershop. In the show-box you can create your own decor and have a polaroidpicture taken. Grun(n) Gemaakt is ready for an incredible ten days at the festival! 

Noorderzon!

Van 19 t/m 29 augustus vindt Performing Arts Festival Noorderzon in Groningen weer plaats. Tijdens het festival zullen mijn mobiles in de containerwinkel van creatief collectief Grun(n) Gemaakt verkrijgbaar zijn. Heel spannend en leuk!  
Grun(n) Gemaakt bestaat onder meer uit de dames van Werkpost en nog een aantal vormgevers, kunstenaars, levensgenieters. Lees hier meer.

From 19 to 29th August Performing Arts Festival Noorderzon is taking place again in Groningen, my hometown. During the festival my mobiles will be available for sale in the containershop of creative collective Grun(n) Gemaakt. I'm very excited about this!

Skating

Today I went skating with a friend. I so enjoyed it. Wind in my hair, sun on my face, excersise, nature. I've been an enthusiastic skater for many years, but this year somehow I never got around to it. Today I thought, what has kept me? This is so relaxing. What do you do to relax?

Cosa Verde finds

What I really love about Cosa Verde is the fact that you don't get lost in their website and it's easily browsable. And of course that it's all about earthfriendliness! Today's favourites.

Patterns and colours and prints

Just like Marlous from PlanetFur I just love patterns and colours and prints. She gave me the idea for this blogpost. Thanks, Marlous.
I find patterns and colours very inspirational and they make me feel really happy and crafty and hopeful.
