Spanish architecture firm MYCC created a beautiful getaway in a remote location in the northeast corner of the Iberian Peninsula where there are ocean views and an abundance of eucalyptus trees.
Inspired by nature, this prefabricated home features a forest design created from perforations on the surface of the exterior.
Wonderfull isn’t it?

With great pleasure Jan and I visited last year’s Open Art Fair in Utrecht.
The Open Art Fair is a fair with galleries from home and abroad.
This is what it says on their site: Whether you like painting or sculpture, glass, ceramics or jewelry – on the Open Art Fair one finds all expressions of art.
The fair is from September 8 till September 12.
Fine Art Photography Gallery Eduarte Planting in Amsterdam specializes in 20th century and contemporary photography. At the art fair they show among others, work by the Dutch photographer Marie Cécile Thijs.

This week Toast presented a beautiful new collection of clothing.
And we (Jan and me) created a new ring called “Blue Eye”
The actress Juliette Binoche bought a new pair of earrings, or is it the lipstick?
And yesterday I stumbled upon these funny chicken-paintings of Nicolette Arens on the Internet while looking to buy three chickens and a rooster in addition to my livestock.
Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!

I could not resist to post this image. Is’n it a great photo?
It is Yokoo in her Etsy shop, showing het latest necklace. Mostly she makes lovely big woolen (tube) shawls. But so now and then she makes jewelry.
This is what Yokoo tells us about her necklace: “ These are definitely not your Grandmothers Pearls but just as special all the same ”.
Yesterday I discoverd a surprisingly nice gallery on the internet.
The Lilja Zakirova Gallery was founded in 1993 and is located in the historic town of Heusden, near Rotterdam. The gallery represents contemporary artists from Russia. Lilja Zakirova selects its artists on a personal basis without taking into account the issues of the day.
Especially the Russian digital artist, Katerina Belkina makes striking work …

Last Sunday we went to a international ceramic fair in Oldenburg, Germany.
I’ve grown to become quite selective over the years. So I was not surprised when I only liked a few potters from the many who attended the ceramic fair this weekend. I was glad we went though; the show is in such a nice setting.
The potters present their work in small stands on the cobblestoned streets around “The old Schloss”.
We were lucky, the sun was out and although quite a few people were attending this very popular fair, it was not too crowded.
These were my 2 favorites…

What are you up to this weekend?
As some of you might know I live in the extreme tip of the Netherlands, far away from all cultural and art activities. But Sunday we are in luck because we have to drive a little further north and just across the border there is the German city Oldenburg.
Every first weekend in August there is an International Ceramics Fair in the center of Oldenburg. Since there is a fairly rigorous selection and participation of ceramists from all over Europe, the ceramics fair in the course of time has a good international reputation. There are about 100 potters who show their work.
For a few years now I collect modern ceramics and therefore I am a regular visitor of ceramics markets.
The German ceramist Ursula Commandeur shows her beautiful porcelain work at the fair.
Silke Decker also from Germany, is a freelance designer and ceramist.

Amazing how many fashion designers take their inspiration from history…
The Leitmotiv of Frank Leders work is an authentic and concise expression of German culture and history. All collections have a strong concept, clear vision and integration of German cultural elements, often creating a whole storyline around collections. This year’s story is Holtz.
Frank Leder got his education in London at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
His garments are being worn by a lot of artists, actors and musicians, who appreciate the modern intellectual approach rooted in history.
Leder is mainly working together with German photographer Gregor Hohenberg
