Eclectic
The little girl in me still loves statues of animals (mostly dangerously on the edge of kitsch). My eyes for detail love the look of flowers on old crockery, preferably those very detailed ones like the one on the teapot above. I love colors, but I couldn’t live in a home with walls painted in every color of the rainbow, but I do love those bold and simple patterns from the 60s and 70s. I’m so very glad they invented that wonderful name ‘eclectic’ to cover my love for a hotchpotch of design!
Today I’ve been playing with my camera again. I love how those detailed patterns on old crockery come out even more beautiful when you photograph them from closeby. How the light reflects. And how on the picture the left side of this teapot almost becomes invisible with that bright Summer light.
I often feel that my blog is one big adverse mess of non-connected pictures of a lot of old stuff. But now I think about it, it is just really who I am. Eclectic! But would you please excuse me now, I have to go and stare at some detailed patterns and my animal statues are screaming for attention. So long!
It’s good to be eclectic! Love this photo!

Sterker nog: niet eclectisch is maar saai. ;)

Ik vind jouw concept juist heel duidelijk hoor, je hebt een echte ‘Marlous-stijl’ waar verschillende elementen in bijeenkomen. Eclectisch-integratief noemen wij dat in mijn vakgebied! (ofwel; van alles een beetje, maar het past wel bij elkaar en maakt een mooi geheel) Zo! ;)
Mooie theepot & foto ook!
Lovely photo! I just came over after reading your great interview on Thrift Core. You have a wonderful blog and sense of style, I’m happy to be your newest follower =)
But I love your eclectic mix of photos- and taste in cool kokeshi and fun finds like this teapot!
