Marjolein Thijse Photostudio

A few weeks ago I wrote that my photographer friend Marjolein helped me create a good set up for taking my product pictures. What I didn't mention, is that she has her own photostudio in Houten (Netherlands).

Last week I visited her studio. I had never been in an actual photostudio before, so I was really impressed with everything. Look at all the huge lamps, and that enormous roll of background paper!

We also took some shots of some of my products. I love how they turned out. Very professional looking with the white backgrounds.

So, if you are in need of a photographer for some nice pictures of yourself, or your products, I definitely recommend Marjolein! You can visit her website marjoleinthijse.com for more information.

P.S. All the necklaces in this post are now available at Tizzalicious.com and the Tizzalicious etsy shop.

Queensday Flea Market Finds

April 30th is one of the best days to be a flea market loving Dutchie! On that day we celebrate Queensday. I don't know why, or how the tradition started, but on Queensday there are flea markets all over the country.

I visited one of the flea markets in my home town yesterday, with my mom. I found some really nice things this year!

The first thing I bought was this vintage children's card game. It's called Kwartet in Dutch, it's like Go Fish. (Though I don't know if Go Fish is with playing cards only?) The box is a bit battered, but the cards are all in perfect condition. I only paid €0.50 for it!

Then my find of the day, this Fujifilm Instax camera! Only €10! It came with some film too. I can't wait to use it! Last year I found an old polaroid camera, but I still haven't bought film for it, because I am not sure if it will work, and I didn't want to waste money on a camera that doesn't work. I should try that soon too though.

And last but not least, lots of tins! I have a weakness for old tins, I just can't resist them! I think one of these is not actually vintage, but the other ones are. I love how they look all together.

To those of you from Holland: How was your Queensday? Did youi visit the flea markets? If yes, did you find anything nice?

Feito Com Amor: The Cutest Shop in Breda!

On Saturday I took a trip to Breda to visit one of the shops that sells Tizzalicious goodies: Feito Com Amor. I also dropped off some brand new things, some of which aren't even in our webshop yet!

It was great to meet Pâmela, the sweet and pretty shop owner, and to see her amazing shop in real life. It made me dream of having my own shop a little more again!

 I spotted Tizzalicious goodies all over the shop, it was like a treasure hunt!

I also spotted these cute cards & buttons from Popjes Art, who I mentioned in a DaWanda Wednesday a loooong long time ago.

The whole shop is filled with amazing things...and so much color!

If you are ever in Breda (and I definitely recommend going there, it's a great city!), make sure to stop by at Feito Com Amor on St.Annastraat 17.
