Twitter highlights
Yes, you can find me on Twitter since a couple of days (another virtue of my friend Diana). I actually kinda like it! In this post the highlights (if I may say so myself) I shared on Twitter last week.
Book: Mama weg by Chris Haughton (English title “Little owl lost”)
I bought this book actually, I’m a sucker for stories about sweet tiny creatures (it’s even possible I start to cry when I see the little owl lose his mama, lucky for me childrensbooks generally end happy).
Music: American recordings, Johnny Cash (perfect rythm to work on, the man’s voice is candy for the ears).
Webshop: Jojojanneke Cute cards, stickers, the little owl (again) is my absolute favourite.
Weblog: Imaginative Bloom Not only because Planet Fur is featured there, it’s a treasure chest filled with wonderful shops and websites.
Museum: Sieboldhuis The Dutch Japancentre, for those who devour every shred of information about Japanese culture.

Hi Marlous, I also started tweeting recently and I enjoy it more than I expected. Consequences are that I don’t make blogposts as often anymore, therefore I really like your idea of showing some Twitterfavourits on your blog. I might do that once in a while as well…
I still struggle a bit with ‘what to post where’. Often, when I see or buy something new I take a quick pix with my Iphone and post it on twitter and plan to make better pictures for a real blogpost later. But that can take weeks and then I wonder if it is worth the effort since it might be old news anyway for my Twitter followers.
What are your thoughts about that?
Hi Floddertje,
So nice to share these kind of things and thoughts! I must say, I totally understand your struggle! There are just not enough hours in a day to do everything you want to do, especially when you need to combine a normal job, a shop that needs stock and all the other media to promote your creative space with. I guess the most important thing to do is do the thing you like and not feel pressured by the fact that you have to write a post about your Tweets. The last couple of days I found some lovely websites I liked to share with my readers, but I’m not sure I’ll have the time to find them every week and blog about them as well. Since I already have a job that can be quite demanding, I’ve decided my blog, Twitter and other creative projects may not be…or only in a good way. And in the end, there are so many Tweets, even people on Twitter could miss just that lovely website you’ve Twittered about. The little book I wrote about (mama weg), came out months ago, but I didn’t knew it, so there must be more people who don’t know it. I guess it doesn’t matter how “old” news is for me, as long as it’s new to me, I’m happy to read it! Thanks so much for your comment, tot Twitters/blog ;-) Groetjes, Marlous
