russian ballet

at the v&a museum in london there's currently an exhibition
running on diaghilev's ballet russe. I loved these costumes
designed by picasso.

Albion

Albion is just around the corner of Labour and Wait.
If we hadn't already had hot chocolate (to defeat the london
drizzle) 5 minutes before, we'd definitely have had it here.
I'll have to come back for that.

labour and wait

If you ever visit London, definitely stroll through
these streets. You'll find this is the other side of London
you were looking for (at least i was).

Labour and Wait is at 85 Redchurch Street
and 18 Cheshire Street, both worth a visit.

london

just returned from london. I have loads to show you
from my trip, but first a little catching up with work.

the book club

this seems like a nice place in eastern london.

london

on friday afternoon i'm leaving for London. Do you
have suggestions of what not to miss and where i definitely
need to go?

helvetica

this shop is absolutely my favorite on etsy now!
They have the most original vintage items and i love the
handmade huge wooden helvetica-letters they're selling.
They have a blog too on hindsvik.com

paganini (2)

paganini's installations

paganini

i saw Hernán Paganini's prints on little paper planes.
I will show some of his installations, because they are beautiful too.

calendar

i'm usually not really into gadgets, but i really like the
handy idea and simplicity of this calendar. At work i
always scribble and write everywhere :)

solar shop

my sister and i visited the pop up store of atelier solar shop.
It's a beautiful place! Pop in if you're close to the Antwerp
station. Kaat bought shoes from miami and i took this beautiful
handkerchief home with me.
(you can also see Renilde's cushions on the chairs)

flipbook competition

napa books (by jenni rope) is holding its 3rd flipbook-
competition. You can still enter before november 1.
I love the ones they have in their shop.

jenni rope

i'm fond of this work by jenni rope. discover more over here

raven

i love this clothes hanger by Ingibjörg Hanna Bjarnadottir at mjolk

enamel

beautiful white by Makoto Koizumi

this is how it ended

this is how two months of work and amazing atmosphere
ended: with a first prize!

distracted

i'm a little distracted from blogging this week.
next sunday we're having a huge flowerparade in our
village and we're still very busy building. I'm so
nervous that I have bitten all my fingernails again...
Anyway, the end-result will look something like this,
but this time we're making a 17-meter-long octopus.

Braem

the name Renaat Braem showed up in the corner of a
painting, enough for a search on the internet and this result.
Braem was a modernist architect, inspired by constructivism
and starting his career with an internship at le Corbusier's
atelier. There's a large exhibition on Braem in the Singel in
Antwerp soon.
