Some more photos from the shop made by Sophia. Still 2 weeks to go for the pop up shop at Meent 133, Rotterdam! It was great to have all the brands displayed together in a nice cosy shop. When the shop is closed Confetti wil continue as an online shop and will add new items often.

This great little place in Rotterdam was a new discovery for me eventhough it exists already for two years. How could I have missed this gem? Warmoesmarkt is situated on Katendrecht in Rotterdam. A small local grocery shop with delicous bread, homemade jams and chutneys, cookies and pies and much more in a cosy, vintage setting.

For breakfast or lunch you take a plate and make your own with all the buns, sandwiches and toppings you want.

Beautiful still life in the shop (minishop Confetti) with fresh new flowers from Niche in an Elke van den Berg handmade and handdrawn vase! Check out more pretty items from Elke in the online shop.

This feels like summer! Love this outfit by Black Crane! Actualy I love all of it!

To give you an idea of how the shop looks like here a few images. It was really hard to choose from all the photos that I took. Hope you like it because there will be many more.

At this moment I am pretty busy with running minishop Confetti, getting the online shop filled with amazing products from great people, making orders ready for a great new point of sales for Lennebelle in Helsinki (yes, Finland!) and Brooklyn and looking for the perfect tiles for the bathroom, making interior drawings and filling the first moving boxes for our new appartment!

Last week friends helped me to install and decorate the shop and friday was the ‘official’ opening of pop up shop ‘minishop Confetti’. It’s perfect, exactly how I imagened it to be and filled with only pieces I love from great people! We celebrated the opening with friends and family and cheered with prosecco, Vedett beer (sponsored ;-, thanks) and blueberry lemonade. And check out the flower garland by Niche.

It was a good start for minishop Confetti and already was featured at Petite Passport by the lovely Pauline and of course by Cloud Cuckoo!

Also the online shop is finished and filled with most items from the shop and will be up dated with new items often. Today my package from Miga de Pan arrived in the mail with fun potholders and soft toys. I jumped with joy a little that I can add new items to the shop.

More photos will follow soon and don’t forget to check out the online shop when you are not able to say hello at Meent 133 in Rotterdam!

Me and plants is just not the perfect combination. Every time I try again and I keep finding myself giving up after a few months looking at the horrible state my plants are in.

I wish to make things better and just found this book Me & My Plant (which you can download here) via Mieke Willems and her new (very inspiring) website. Luckily our new home will have lots and lots of light and the rest is up to me.

I also recently discovered via First of August there is ‘plant shelter’ for neglected plants. Rachelle, the initiator of the ‘plantshelter’ will take care of all your dried out, sad, ugly plants to make them healthy again!

I am so excited to tell you that I will be opening my own Pop-Up shop in three weeks in the centre of Rotterdam (Meent 133) in collaboration with Roodkapje.

The shop is called ‘minishop-Confetti’ (it really is small but cosy and on a really nice spot) and will be filled with the work of different designers. One by one they create items that made my heart jump with joy and I hope yours will too! All items will add that extra color to your day.

The shop will open on Friday 13th (my lucky day from now on) till the end of May. For those who can’t make it I will also have an online shop (soon) and will ship worldwide to share these treasure with you! Some of the designers are;

* Iefke de Roos : handmade, handdeyed clothes, scarfs & bags
* Elke van den Berg : unique porcelain cups, bowls & buttons
* Irma : awsome everyday leather shoppers
* Mono : notebooks you can’t go without from Buenos Aires
* Mise en Pan : pretty knitting from Adriana also from Buenos Aires
* De Draad : to brighten up your kitchen, handwoven towels and more
* Niche : for the love of fresh flower-garlands
