Boudouboudou is an Etsy shop filled with playful (literally!) accessories by Brussels designer Corinne Clarysse. She uses toys and parts of games to create broches, rings, necklaces - you name it. The Playmobroches are particularly cool and a real hit in Brussels shops.

But I must admit, the postcards displaying photographed of neatly organized colorful stuff might be my favorite. Must... organize... durrrr...

BOO! Here I am again! Did I scare you? I'm going to attempt and be here a bit more often, but no promises. I'm just here because I recently bought pretty much everything from Shay Aaron's Etsy shop. It's small and cute and won't make you fat. Awesomenessss.

Ninon is an Italian softie designer living in Berlin. Most people who know of her work, know of her monsters. Those monsters indeed are fabulous but I must say these sweet handmade dolls have stolen my heart. Love those delicate shoes and drawn faces! Oh and the skirts, the skirts!

Are you in need of bearded moral support? Of a portable man friend to keep you company?
I was and I didn't even know it!

That is, until I found out about Nicola Rowland's Pocket Manfriends. Now I can't get through the day without one, I think. So awesome and completely random. Links: Blog | Etsy Shop | Facebook | Twitter

I know some of you follow my illustration blog (annadenise.nl) and those who do know I was thrilled to find some pretty cardboard iPhone cases to illustrate. So when I came across these stitch-able iPhone covers by Leese Design on the Purl Soho website, I completely flipped. Not only do I now have another perfectly good reason to pre-order the new iPhone 4s, I also think I have my new fall challenge lined up: to create a stitched design that even remotely measures up to the beautiful designs of Purl Soho's Erin.

Yesterday I visited Donna Wilson's exhibit in La Fabrika, Brussels - a lovely design store known for its carefully selected furniture and home accessories. The exhibtition 'Donna Wilson - A British Design Story', opened earlier this month as a part of 'Design September'. I'm glad I got to see it (and buy myself a little something in the process) because I absolutely freaking ADORE Donna Wilson (as I'm sure many of you do, too).


La Fabrika, located on the 'dodgy end' (so-called, it's not too bad really) of the otherwise very trendy Rue Antoine Dansaert here in Brussels, looked immaculate as usual. Donna Wilson's work was displayed in combination with some stunning handmade furniture that Wilson created with British manufacturers Ercol and SCP. The beautiful, light, space really did the entire installation justice.


My only problem whilst visiting was my sickly looking, pretty much, empty wallet. Otherwise: yay!

UPDATE: I just received word that the exhibition has been extended for another week! So go see it!
