Meet Hazel & Mae ::: interview

Hazel & Mae is a wonderfull shop i discovered accidentally while hopping around on facebook a few months ago.

Meet Tabitha, the lady behind this shop in this interview.

What's your shop name? Where did it come from?

Hazel & Mae -  I wanted to find an old, vintage name for my shop that connected with me personally. Hazel... well, I've dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Mae refers to 'me' as Hazel is my 'alter ego'.

For all creatives

One of my favorite shops in Bruges is Econcept!
A lovely store with designs made by hand and ecological products.
When i walk in there - first of all you smell the parfumes, that tingle my nose - i get instant inspiration!

Yesterday i went for a little shopping and couldn't resist it to go into the shop.
This week i read about a new 'competition' for creatives around Bruges (but i think if you aren't from Bruges you can also participate). You can come into the shop with your handmade/ecological product and they will see what they can do. The shopmanagers are very friendly and helpfull when you want to ask something about the products or the other things going on in Econcept.

Hip hip hooraaay

I haven't got so much time for blogging lately because of my exams this month.
Tuesday was my birthday and wooow - my boyfriend bought all things i had on my wishlist! He's amazing! In short i got this: LPs from Bon Iver and Adele, a digital photocamera, books,...
I'm so happy!

Last week I've been making some tiny roses earstuds.
I bought these roses a few months ago, but they weren't the ones i was looking for.
A few weeks ago i discovered some little earstuds that fitted them! Yaay!

Song of the month #6 ::: The Editors - An end has a start

The Editors is one of my favorite bands! Tom Smith always let's my heart make a little bounce when i hear him... i love his voice so deep and warm.

Today is an awful day for me as this is the day my little brother died a while ago. I wanted you to listen to Jimmy Eat World's - May Angels lead you in, but i still cannot search up that song as it makes me cry every time i hear the first notes...

I always like it when artists can sing their song in different styles.
Aah...he simply has it all ;)
Enjoy this acoustic version of An end has a start by the Editors.
