Etsy : Earrings

This week's earrings are these "Zeeuwse knopjes" by EST member Annemiek from TwoTreesBelgium on Etsy. Annemiek was born and grew up in Zeeland in The Netherlands. Her grandmother still wore the traditional costume of her region. The traditional jewelry and other items typical to Zeeland inspired her to make a series of ceramic 'Zeeuwse' items. And needless to say that I love her Dutch folklore jewelry line ! So, I had to have these Zeeuwse knopjes for my ears :)

I will shows you here some more of her Dutch folklore jewelry, but Annemiek makes much more than that; story bowls, animals, roses, and the most beautiful buttons (but I will tell you more about that in a future blog post). So visit her shop to see all these beauties !

Button Wednesday : I see a MOUSE !

It is Wednesday again, so it's BUTTON DAY on my blog. It would be great if you could do the same; make your Wednesday a button day too. Have you seen a lovely, beautiful, stunning, crazy button or button-related thingy, or did you make something with a button / buttons, or did you even make buttons yourself, blog about it on your blog on Wednesday, and give the link here via Mister Linky at the end of this post.


Two weeks ago, when my family guests were staying with us, I suddenly got a parcel from Belgium. huh ??? Did I order something in Belgium ??? Not that I knew. When I opened the parcel I saw the beautiful green logo from Annemiek Hamelink and her note: "for my biggest fan". WOW. Quickly opened the little box, and then .... I saw a MOUSE :) This is the most gorgeous button I have ever seen, and it gets the most prominent place in my own button collection. It is such a cutie....

And then I also felt something under my mouse button in the box; there were even two more gorgeous pink ceramic buttons. You can imagine the happy girl I was, with my buttons and my mouse !

Annemiek has a fantastic shop on Etsy: TwoTreesBelgium, where she sells not only the most beautiful buttons, but also lovely ceramic jewelry inspired by her heritage and the most unique animal bowls.
