The Otherist

A cabinet of curiosities. In the middle of Amsterdam. The shop The Otherist sells uniquely handmade items that suppose to wow, amaze and surprise. And that they do. Wow!

Poetry in ceramics

Spotted in a shop in Amsterdam the other day. The most beautiful ceramics made by the swedisch Karin Eriksson. Pure poetry!

Teabag poetry

Yesterday I celibrated my birthday at the very cosy and delicious restaurant Claire in Eindhoven. As a real green tea addict I just loved their Tea Forte. There even is poetry in a teabag ;)

Eclectic

I spotted some beautiful eclectic jewellery in Portugal. It turned out to be made by the Israelic jewellery designer Ayala Bar. She gets her inspiration from everyday life: colors of the fruitmarket to the organic thin veins of a leaf. She uses multi coloured gemstones, beads, pearls, fabric and crystals.

One of a kind

Sui Generis is the latin expression for ‘unique in its characteristics’. Bar,restaurant & beachclub Sui Generis located on the Island of Faro is unique indeed. In the middle of wooden holidayhouses this modern concrete building stands out immediately. Sitting with your toes in the sand, overlooking the sea, nibbling on some fushion sushi made by a Brazilian chef. No wonder we wanted to stay. Forever. 

Bohemian chic

TMcollection is a fashion and home design company under the creative direction of the Portugese Teresa Martins. During my holidays I visited her shop in Almancil near Faro. Teresa uses beautiful materials such as silks, cottons, linens & wools with special printings, texture and delicate embroideries. The outcome has an artistic, etnical, bohemian chic feel to it. Beautiful!
