Moois&Meer is a Dutch webshop (they deliver world-wide) where you can find 
a small collection of original gifts and unique products as turkish handmade hammam blankets, 
towels and shells, table-clothes, gorgeous vintage suzani rugs, antique kilims processed 
as patchwork carpet or pillows, hand-woven silk scarves, hand and body
 in hip refillable glass bottles and moreJust have a look at the collection here

The Moois&Meer collection is kept small because they have a preference for 
hand-made products which are made in traditional way and they really prefer a personal 
cooperation with their manufacturers in France and Turkey, they think that's all part of 
the charm of being unique! 


good luck... the winner will be anounced in two weeks!
Wish you all a happy new week...

recycling


hope you all had a happy easter
I really enjoyed my little break in Paris 
we had some great days (my feed won't move anymore) 
 filled with exciting things (Disneyland) and 
admiring all the beauty that Paris has to offer
it was such fun! 

This beautiful house built of waste 
and recycled materials really cought my eye today
 love the creative ideas  - look at these walls of chipboard and that couch made of recycled wood
the raw materials and the combination of used wood, bricks, 
art and classic (vintage) design furniture
very inspiring styling work by Hanne Wind
