Bird migration

Our days shorten and birds are preparing their journeys to the south.
These birdpieces go back into time. I situe them all in the late thirties.
A tissue, a brooch and the top part of pyjamas.

Two elphants

An elephant mask and a drying dress.
And a little bird on top of its cage.

For a girl and for a boy of four

I made these old fashioned shirts a while ago. A girl and a boy version.

There is a special holder in the pocket of the boy for putting in his favourite colour of pencil. He’s always ready to draw.

But it wasn’t a small boy who was dotting the girl shirt. It’s a beautiful old cotton tissue.

Dank u mevrouw M.R.

Green apples

The last of the green apples, harvest time is over.
Now the ground is covered with walnuts.
Hmm, a great combination for making cakes!

Letters in aeroplanes

Extra light writing paper for sending letters far away. And it still took ages to arrive!
But if you knew something was on it's way, there was a long time looking forward to the envelope and lots of walking to the mailbox for a lovely letter to come. Such an excitement day after day.

Blankets for dippy eggs

A cat wich just caught a mouse.

Red riding hood on her way to granny, carrying flowers and a basket.

And a big white swan.

September, the first day of school

The holidays are over. For a lot of children this is a very exciting day. 

So much energy on the streets this morning!

Even i got infected with excitement.
