Last weekend I enjoyed just another day cycling through Amsterdam with one of my best friends hopping from coffeecorner to farmers market at the Noordermarkt and from cosy bar to tiny sushiplace to hip and trendy bar Lion Noir (museumlike-very nice interior)

Going from one canalstreet to another we passed this cute little shop; Bon Bon Boutique. It got my attention because of the tiny pink chair. I never knew this was the shop owned by Monique van Bruggen from Studio MHL and her friend Bonne van de Ree. I admire their work and it is a pitty they will have to leave this place but they will both continue their work. Keep track of them here and here.

Monique van Bruggen from Studio MHL is the artist behind these amazing decorations she created for Studio IJm. Studio IJm, an artist platform and photostudio in Amsterdam had Open House last weekend. I missed out because I had a wonderfull weekend in Antwerp. See the fun small movie invitation from IJm here.

I love the small broches and the garlands. I hope to hang up some garlands and have a little party myself in the upcoming days to celebrate a new challenge! So everybody keep you fingers crossed!

Every day is a day to be beautiful is this amazingly pretty shop / workspace by jewellery designer Charlotte Wooning. Everywhere you look is pure eye candy! The jewellery is displayed in antique and vintage suitcases, showcases, cabinets and cloches. I adore the little porcelain boxes Charlotte made in collaboration with Carola Zee (see first photos) Also the flower decoration I find beautiful.

The shop is filled with her own designs but also other dutch and foreign jewellery designers showcase their pieces like Martine Viergever and Hester Zagt from Rotterdam and Studio MHL from Amsterdam. Besides you can make an appointment with Charlotte to create a custom made piece of jewellery just for you. I will have a cute bracelet designed with a little star. Still a present for our 2 year anniversary!

Last winter I had a atelier sale here and already thought the place was beautifull but was not at all finished at the time. Now it is a true gem in Rotterdam and a must visit when you’re there! Check out opening times and more here.

I am a scarf girl. I have a ladder hung full of them. My favourites are one with stars and one I bought in Bolivia. These scarfs I found by Studio mhl. They are handwoven by Ilse Acke. I love the vibrant colours!

Finding this blog “Studio MHL” was instant love! The colours, the materials, the overall feel. Dutch jewelry designer Monique uses mainly silver, wood, fabric and porcelain.

At the moment she is joining a jewelry pop up sale in Amsterdam “Op voorraad” (in stock) unfortunately I am not able to visit it but check out the website for many more amazing jewelry designers!
