Jewellery! Give Away!

It's been a while, again, kinda waiting till the new life falls in to place. But here are some things I've made lately. Hope you like them :o)

Now that I've got something that I really can give away: let's have a give-away!

Post something about us somewhere and tell us where we can read it, and don't forget to mention which jewelry you like the most. You can use whatever channel you prefer, but if you use twitter be sure to use @peloucheblog. I'll pick a happy winner at the 20th of august. 

Currently working on a background to put the jewelry on, so it will be a nice present to receive :o)

Can't wait to have my own give-away. But for now, I hope I'll win.

Some great articles about font combinations.

The last month or so I read a few interesting articles about typography, mostly about type combinations.

• This first one is about 19 great font combinations.
• The second one is about 4 techniques for combining fonts.
• The last one is a list with 14 top typeface and font combinations resources.

Hope you enjoy them.

Mook finally available!

Hi there,

My spooky handmade iPhone-lovin' friend is now on sale on Etsy.

Mook's made of two layers of strong, thick black felt that are covered with light grey soft felt (inside and outside), ideal to protect your iPhone.

Flea market

Today we went to our local flea market (it was terribly cold, despite of the sunshine) and we found some lovely stuff! A gorgeous LP-player for only 12 euros! And yes, it still works! I also found a cute children's book, not something I really needed, but I thought it was pretty...so... Of course we needed some LP records for our new player (not totally true, we already do have a bunch of records, but sssh) so I bought 2 Disney records, with some fine art-work. Finally I found some lovely plates, the salesman couldn't quite believe that I liked them...but I do! Was thinking of trying to make some jewelry out of them. We'll see how that turns out...

Short Telly Tip!

• “Grow your own drugs” (season two):

Great show about home remedies that work (love the cold sores remedy of season one).

Where and when?

BBC2, Tuesdays at 21:00 (GMT+1)

• “The Delicious Miss Dahl”:

A cooking program that just relaxes me. Her soothing voice, yummi (looking) dishes and great music.

Invitation

Here's the invitation I made for my nephew. Kinda proud of it... Send them to the whole family; wondering what their reactions will be.

Fabric

Last week, I found these fabrics in Hasselt (Stoffenspektakel)

Wondering what they will become... probably a dress... definitely the dotted one.

This is a scarf I once bought on sale, I loved the print. But it's just been laying in my closet ever since...

Going to try to make a skirt out of it... I'll definitely post the result.

Newest purchases!

Here's a list of some lovely stuff we bought recently.


I bought this brooch in a wonderful shop called "Achter de maan" in Ghent. The design is by Chloé Rémiat, on lamarelle.net you can find more nice stuff designed by her, and a lot of other designers.






These earrings, brooch and sweater came from Zoot. Such a pretty shop in the centre of Ghent.

papierpiraten

These sweet little things we bought in Huiszwaluw. A shop we recently discovered and which went immediately to the top of our list. It's impossible to walk out without having bought something.
The postcards are from Papierpiraten and Darling Clementine, the sketchbook is from Belle & Boo. You can also find them on 1973.
