Jenna Postma

Jennap

Jenna Postma is a wonderful young designer that creates from the
heart. Working with different materials, Jenna produces simple everyday items
with a little bit of her own story.

Do you recognize these? These ceramic necklaces are of the
everyday view of Dutch architecture. What is your building of choice? A
farmhouse? A church? I would go for the mill!

The jewelry box is the other piece I would like to mention
because I was excited it’s a standing jewelry box. Being a girl herself Jenna
thought that it would be useful if you could hang your necklaces in the box.
Yes that’s perfect! If you don’t want the high legs, there are smaller ones for
tables and walls. ~Sufiya
