Christmas week on Bloesem

Piajane

Good-morning, after a super fun day yesterday where we were celebrated the Dutch tradition Sinterklaas it is time to start focusing on the Christmas decoration in our house. It's not easy to feel the real spirit when living in a tropical land…but images like these from Pia do help 🙂 …I can't believe Amsterdam looked liked this last weekend… almost like a fairy-tale. 

This whole week Christmas will be on my mind and I'm inviting you to send me images of Christmas decoration in your home…the ones we like best will be shown here on Bloesem throughout the coming weeks! Don't be shy …we love to see your decorations and ideas!

The wonderful 2D Wall Christmas tree above is from Tanja Soeter, she made it from braided metal wire on a steel frame and is excellent for smaller spaces. I love the idea of hanging it above the dining table, put special messages in it and play with during Christmas diner!

Most of us have many dreams of things they still would like to accomplish in their lifes…well three of the things that have always been and still are on my 'Big-things-in-life-to-do-List' is 1. opening up a small art shop + craft area 2. organizing something to raise money for Charity here in Asia (working on that) and 3. organising a market like this 'little winter market' one day…and I mean a visuel stunning handmade market place were you can buy beautiful items taht are made with love and

The little winter market in Portland, Oregon was created by Abby from Abby try Again and Chelsea from Frolic…and many of my favorite American creatives displayed their beautiful goods here…

from what I believe it was a HUGE success and I completely understand…would love to go shopping in a market smae like the little winter market. I assume they will organise it again next year? You can find a list of all the vendors in the sidebanner of their blog. More beautiful pictures here by little ocean annie
