I love old pictures, especially when they show people. They tell a story; of past youth, of love, of fashion and so on. A friend of mine showed me a flickr website where they have thousands of vintage pictures, most of them are portrets of moviestars and singers of the old days.
Here a few and the link. Enjoy!

I love spending days with pictures, photoshop and indesign. A friend of mine had some pictures of her wedding which still weren't edited. I made a little album for her.
Yes! I do believe secondhand stores are the best. I truely do! Last week I went to Klein Waterlooplein, which is in Lelystad (Holland). It was the best store ever! And quite cheap.
Here are my trofees;

So last saturday me and my sister went to visit the Woonbeurs in the Rai, Amsterdam. It's kind of a interior designevent. I saw a lot of new trends, colours and designs. The best part of it where the young new designers and the 101woonideeen stand.
Maartje van den Noort and Petra (one of the owners of Restored) where at the 101woonideeen stand. They showed some work of the shop and made some new designs. Also got a beautiful black bag with drawings of Maartje. You can also buy them at www.restored.nl. Prizes are from 5 euro.
I have to say that the 101woonideeen stand was the best in my case. So much soft colours, weighted out perfectly with subtle prints. The enviroment had a bit of a 60/70's vibe to it and was very romantic. I loved every little bit of it!
