Anyone wants some vintage kilims?
After our renovation we are now cleaning up the house. We came across these pieces of vintage kilims.
They are hand woven and pretty old, some bags or something else fun could be made out of it but it is not really our style, so we are looking for someone who would love these!
There are 10 pieces and they are almost 2 kilo's together, shipping is for you (should be around 20$) and it is yours! We can also split it in 2 or more if more people are interested!
Just leave a comment with a place where we can contact you, we hope to find a new home for these!
We washed them so they are completly clean and ready to use in your creative project :)

Our Creative Space...
I've been having some fun with a piece of driftwood!
I bought a clock but the wood was to thick for it so I had to carve it out, long live the Dremel :)
Making a clock did not come up with finding the wood but actually happened when I saw these amazing brass door numbers at a hardware store (you can find amazing supplies there!).
I love how it turned out!
You can see more pictures and details about it in our Giftshop.

Our Creative Space...
Now that our new sewing room is ready we are finally able to make new bags!
Our favorite projects are those which involve only vintage materials, except for the thread we use to sew the bags, 100% upcycled, such a thrill!
Vintage embroideries, vintage lace and doilies...
Vintage fabrics, and upcycled leather, gathering them from all kind of places and secret hidden spaces and eventually putting them together to get a second life in an even better way then their first is such an exciting thing to do. And the biggest fun will be seeing the results ofcourse.
Speaking of results, we will show you our sewing room this weekend, promise!

Our Creative Space...
I while back I showed you our work space and told you it is a mess. You all said that it didn't look like a mess.
The thing is our workspace is light and large and you all got carried away by that :) If you look up closely it really is a clutter...
But within the clutter new collections are born, and I can't wait to the rain to stop so that I can take decent pictures of these necklaces, very happy with the results!
Our real project the past couple of weeks was a large renovation in our house. First in the living room and now we also have a much larger sewing room, which totally made the house upside down. Things are finally getting into place and soon we will show you the steps and end result of our new sewing room1

Hunters and Gatherers
January and February are the stormy months here, so we go to the beach to collect the urchins that have been stranded after the storms. We never ever take living urchins out of the water.
You can see at the color of the water that it is winter. In summer it is turqoise.
We have a different 'adress' for all the things that we collect: urchins, driftwood, limpets and other shells have all their very specific little bay.
I love that the way in which the forest meets the sea.
You cannot see how deep the ruts are, so it is with great trepidation that we drive in. If the car gets stuck we are on our own here.
Finally, here is the sea. We've made it.

Our Creative Space...
A bit of nostalgia this week with my old barbies from the attic. It is so much fun to give them a new life in something totally different.
Barbie arms + driftwood, and a weird metal piece from the beach, some glue, drilling and a crazy girl and this came out of it :)
I love it, and am sure that some might find it weird but weird was also a target so that is alright.
You can see here more details about the Rain Prayer Tree.

We are in the middle of a renovation, which means working guys around the house, a total mess, lots of dust and frustrations. Breaking walls here, adding walls there, and hopefully soon we will have a larger sewing room and a clean and tidy home again :)
Because of all these hectic times I haven't been commenting on your moodboards, I will be a good girl again from next week on :)!
