Last weekend we had a lovely trip to London, a present from my hubby. Besides the sightseeing and the great food and drinks it was a great opportunity to have a look at my lamps. In June I had an order for 5 lamps for a new to be opened juice bar: the  Mojo Juice Bar  in Soho. When we walked through Berwick Street we already saw them hanging through the window. By the way, you cannot miss Mojo, the outside is painted bright green. It was the first time I saw my lamps 'live', besides in my house. I have to say that I did have a proud little tickle in my belly. Hubby later told me that I couldn't stop grinning. Apparently the customers also like the lamps. Noa, the owner, told me that they love to touch them and they feel it adds to the living room vibe of the juice bar. Besides admiring my lamps you can get really good and healthy freshly pressed juices at Mojo Juice Bar.  So if you're ever in London. Mojo Juice Bar: 8 D'Arblay Street, corner of Berwi...

It has been very quiet on my blog lately. Thankfully not because I have nothing to do, in fact I have just been to busy. Next week I'm going on a nice long vacation and I'll be back in September with lots of news. Due to my vacation I offer 10% discount in my  Etsyshop  on all orders in August. Production and shipping will start again on the 1st of September. Use couponcode SUMMER2014 at the checkout. I will be reachable by mail for questions and custom requests. Have a great summer.

"Whether you are a cook, techie, fashion designer or an artist. Makers determine how the world looks like. Makers are the living proof that making is fun and useful. Makers are of all ages and come from everwhere. Everywhere in the world independant and community driven Maker Festivals and Maker Fairs pop up. The 'Maker Movement' has now also reached the Netherlands. In the Netherlands there are Maker Fairs in Groningen,Twente, Limburg and now Amsterdam also has a Maker Festival. The initiators of Amsterdam Maker Festival; Science Center NEMO, IFabrica, De Overkant and SVP Sfeerbeheer, want to show the public what is being produced at this moment by a new generation of makers. Whit this they want to stimulate interest for (new) crafts and technology. At the Amsterdam Maker Festival educations get a chance to profile themselves, can companies commit to makers and can a new generation of makers discover how fun and useful it is to make things."
