Gardening



It is not easy to design a very modest city garden,
that is:
 - edible
- looking good
- interesting for children
and a bit of fun






But today we gave our very best shot !

We collected stones






Made decisions where to extend the ground






Had some building fun






Had some building fun for me too






(I tried to use all the space between the rocks to make some mosaic) 











We painted our 100 % recycled green houses










& planted our Olive Tree






We had super fun today!

What will we do tomorrow?

Hannah Nunn









Hannah makes the most stunning (fairy) lights on earth!






You could even customize them.
And have the names of your loved ones
light up in the night!






They are are a perfect addition in our living space. 

At night time
we look at our fairy light collection
and are over the moon
with all those stars around us.






I thought I would have favorites,
but they are all absolutely magical.





They are here to stay!

Thank you so much,



You are a star.

APPELTAART'S - BIG - STUDIO - CLEARANCE - SALE - PART 1



My studio is in need of a big spring clean up!
You know how much I love to screen print
and collect too!
But I'm working on so many new designs,
time to make some room....

Of course,
I could store my babies in drawers.
But they are much happier when they can have a look around!

Drop me a line if you like,
there is only one screen print available from the following pictures 



SOLD Zoolifant: 35 euro + postage
perfect state









SOLD Happy woods: the original try out screen print 65 euro+postage
good state






SOLD Happy trees: 65 euro + postage
perfect state






SOLD Girl in the forest: 35 euro +postage
perfect state





Note: 
All my screen printed designs are made with the intention 'not to be perfect'. This give them a charming, vintage look. Each print comes out a little different, colors may vary a bit from what you see on your monitor. All screen prints will be wrapped in tissue paper and posted in a carton tube.

Appeltaart's Ceramic room









Porcelain is so fragile,
i often end up with broken pieces 
even before it goes in the kiln.

 I just have to keep on going
to make little experiments.
See what works and doesn't.

I'm determent to end up with a house full of
Magic Theaters!

So I'll keep you posted till boredom extraordinair till I get things right!

(CV darlings, I'll see you next week again!)

A big Appeltaart Kiss, 
Guusje
