Seedlings & Newspaper pots.

Ohhhh yeh!!
Finally March came....
It was a busy period and i need something to do relax myself. Last Spring i noticed that the interest
in vegtables and fruits seeding cought me....
But i was not prepaired and much to late. Now i'm a bit more prepaired and really feeling great being busy with this. We have bought a fruitcentrifuge this year and want to live more healthy.
So today i have started to seed..... CinnamonBasil, garlic chives, coriander, lettuce....
And you know what...Pinterest is a great inspiration board full of ideas and tips.
Here is my board for gardening for the little places.

And here we go seedlings :)
I have made small pots of newspaper for the seedlings.

My little newspaper seedling pots.

Filling up the small newspaper pot with eco/biologic earth.

Don't forget the names of the seedlings ;)

After putting the seedlings in the earth - i put over some thin plastic to let them get cosy.

in the first pots....

And here is a guide how to make the little newspaper pots from pinterest.

Have fun!!

Kort maar Prachtig - 5 t/m 19 March - Hilversum

Finally our first event of 2014.
"Kort maar Prachtig" - in Hilversum (The Netherlands).

Kort maar prachtig is a lovely foundation for the creative people.
 They look arround in big cities for empty A-location shop spaces that will be filled as
a pop-up shop for 1 or 2 weeks at a time. They do this a couple of times a year in different cities.

And these two weeks we are a part of this great foundation.
Here is our booth :)

We will post some more on the blog in the next days.
And if you would like to follow "Kort maar Prachtig" here you see them on Facebook.

Sneak peak!! - Stone & Color - Autumn/Winter 2014

Ohhhh yes a sneak peak preview of a tableware line in the making.
We haven been making the Stone & Color collection in cool grey home mixed stoneware.
But this autumn/winter we will present a new line in this range and style.
The same making proces as the cool grey line but now we made the products also of a fine grogged
very dark brown (black) stoneware claybody.
The same glazed used but because this black/brown stoneware clay body contains manganese it mutates the glaze to warmer coors with some specks and spots. Also were we glaze a bit thicker the glaze pulls away - so you see sweet little brown/black spots. It is kind of a glaze fault but we embrase
this fault in total......We high fire to cone 8/9 so it is water tight.....and we love the little imperfection.
And the retro look and style it gives.....

This set is a sample set and we have listed in our online shop.
With a little discount - we will be working on this line with full passion and will present
more products in autumn/winter of this year 2014.
In small ammounts because all of our products are handmade.
Dutch Design Handmade in Holland!!

Just a little update - Stone & Color cupzzzzzz....

Still lives in ..... Ceramics

Finally choices are made!!

Hi all,

I was out of the social media for a little while - busy in the workshop with costum orders.
The courses have started (3 evenings in the week) next to the shop....pfffff.
But feeling kind of happy.....

And finally we made some choices about our online shop.

After a great update from Strato we have chosen this to be our webshop master!!
We have tried Luondo and we loved it so we wanted to quit with Straot but after the big update and
some other issues....we stay where we started.
It is better for our international bussines because strato offers more easy going options for overseas costumers and after there update it is easier to work with.....so we are happy on this part.

But now....
We had to delete all our pages, catagories, products to start with a clean start....painfully but we did.
Ohhhhhhh men all of those precious hours we have spend on it.....again pfffffff.

But a clean and crisp start is there with a lovely search bar that is working correct <3

The domain name will be adjusted in the future but for now you can see for yourself at www.nootenzo.nl 
This is in dutch and for our english reading fans - top left you will find an english flag and this will show everithing in english and with $ pricing.......

So i'm of to fill up the shop with lots of spanking new goodies!! :)

Marylin Monroe on ceramics :)

Once a beauty....always a beauty....
The many pictures that are made of her wauwie...
