Heedopter on tour!
Don't you love spring time? We do! Nothing beats the first warm rays of sun, the first flowers blossoming and rising temperatures. Spring time also means that the market season officially opens. Yay!

Mother's Day surprise! A stop motion movie
Finally we proudly present the secret project we've been working: a really cool stop motion movie featuring our lovely Mother's Day giftboxes!
It turned out to be a colourful, happy and blossoming movie featuring our amazing Mother's Day foldout poster. Fold it out, be overwhelmed and see the seeds grow and blossom.
This gorgeous poster in a pretty gift box with flowerseeds is for sale right here in our Dawanda shop.
My amazingly talented boyfriend made the music all by himself and finetuned it to the video.We had great fun making this video (first stop motion ever!) and hope you enjoy it. Share it everywhere if you like. We're more than proud to show it!
You can find this movie on You Tube here.
And they're finally available in English too!

Oh lala... Sunday market
Yes, we did it! Sunday Market in Amsterdam on the 6th of april was our very first real market. It's been and gone and it was a buzz! I admit, I was a bit nervous, you know, healthy butterflies but I was also very excited. Selling offline is so completely different to selling online but so much fun! Meeting your customers in real and overhearing them talking about your products is invaluable.
Not being used to setting up and decorating a stall with our products it was a little bit of a challenge to fill up a 4 meter wide stall. Some mixing and matching, moving around, piling up, taking down and in the end we were quite happy with how it all looked. Next time we will make some changes (like weighing down the boxes since they kept on blowing over) but hey, one step at a time.
Our most popular product turned out to be our Mother's day boxes. And I'm really excited about that! So great to see everyone's reaction when they were unfolding them, it really does have a wow-factor! Don't worry, you can buy them online right here in our Dawanda shop. Psstt, prefer an english version? We got them too, just contact us.
We were running our stall as a Dawanda ambassador meaning we were promoting them with banners, leaflets and merchandise.
We will be there next time too: 4th of May. Come and say hello!

Rijkswachters from Amsterdam
A good friend of mine just sent me a picture of her newest addition. And it was love at first sight!
Have you ever heard of The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam? If yes, than you probably know it had been closed for god knows how many years due to refurbishment. Well, they have finally reopened their doors. What I never thought about is what they actually did with all these pieces of art during the closure. Apparently most of them have been in storage in big wooden crates. Now the crates are obsolete, the Rijksmuseum came up with this brilliant idea to repurpose the crates and offer a killer (and very cute) souvenir: they made a wooden army. And you can have your very own art soldier. They call them 'Rijkswachters' which means something along the line of 'state guard' and I personally think they look like robots (and I like robots!).
Now here's the best part: every wooden soldier has got a number. And with this number you can look up which work of art has been stored in it. How amazing is that? So apart from a really cool wooden robot made from repurposed materials it also comes with a really good story. Yours might actually have provided a home for a Van Gogh or a Rembrandt! I definitely need to have one too...
They come in different sizes with and without lamps. Have a look right here (you can buy them here too)

Bomb explosion meeting deadlines
Oh geez, for the past few weeks we've been completely submerged in developing and making a new product. Something extremely cool and pretty for Mother's day. Since the deadline for the magazines is coming up rapidly it had to be finished now, not tomorrow, not next week... no NOW! And as a result there was only one thing and one thing only on my mind...Go Go Go! No room for anything else just finish it off!
So now the press announcements are sent, I'm looking around me in my studio and it looks like a big bomb explosion. Oh dear, how did that happen? So first up is tidying, second thing is crash on the sofa with a cup of coffee and just relax for a bit... and then? Who knows, probably make the next new thing ;-)
Curious to what we actually have been making? Just a bit more patience please... as soon as they are for sale in our Etsy and Dawanda shops, you'll be the first to know right here. But a little sneakpeek can't hurt so here we go:
