Meet Mariska from I used to be snowwhite

Do you know the blog´´I used to be snowwhite but I drifted´´? It´s written by fellow dutchie Mariska Meijers who was a lawyer before she became a talented  artist and designer for her own brand Mariska Meijers Amsterdam.
I had the pleasure of meeting her at the Meet the blogger event held in Amsterdam 25th of june this year, I noticed her happy and open personality, she even showed me how the zoom option on my Iphone worked, I had no idea before.
To give you and idea what Mariska designs:

Nature inspired designs, so pretty right?

Affordable art fair

Have you ever heard of the adfordable art fair? I didn´t untill now.
The fair was founded in 1999 and the aim was to make contemporary art accessible to everyone, and to show you don’t need to be an art expert or a millionaire to enjoy and buy art.They organize fairs in: Amsterdam, Bristol, Brussels, London, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Paris, Singapore, Sydney.
They promise to have a wide variety of art, a relaxed atmosphere and affordable prices, sounds great!

Girl with the pearl earring - one of my favorite movies, this piece of art is made of buttons and other bits and pieces.
