Good morning at the 9th off July, 2026.

 Good morning everyone, 

Tonight it's mildly warm and clear outside.

This is a bush of hand made flowers from de Boed, community centre in Zaandijk. It's brown flowers. Usually flowers only brown when they're death, but I found these where so pretty, and very cool for their kind. de Boed comes up with very unusual and original flowers, but it's so awesome for them to be capable to make these, and I let all off them make into a bush, combined with some 'green.' 7,50 euro's- an amount you used to pay at an average flower shop for such a bush. I think it will end up at mom's birthday. Mom has her birthday at November, but I got these allready. They're made from bended pipe cleaners in all colours off the rainbow. de Boed is very creative and outstanding with these. I also got her a keychain, a capital Epoxy Raisin B. Made at de Boed, community centre for people from Leviaan in Zaandijk. 2,50 euro's a keychain and it has most capitals. 

  

The keychains are very pretty, but soon in October, my brother has his birthday, and after November, my entire family got one. I usually wrap these keychains. But then I have to find new gifts. 😏 They where acceptable for their price. I wrapped with old wrapping paper I had on stock allready all the time. 

I have the sad news that I'm going to save out on mom's box off chocolates for her birthday. Not very fancy, but I found chocolates too expensive. It's these flowers instead. It's not November yet, but translated from Dutch the proverb says: 'I can already see the rainshower hanging.' (Above a box off chocolates.) So I'm saving it out. I hope she can take it well, she is always so fond off her chocolates. Her chocolates where handmade from a real local chocolate shop. So it became impossibly priced these years. It's fake flowers in the shade off chocolate. I hope she can take that. 

de Boed is a perfect soutce for affordable gifts, especially when economics don't work with, and everything is impossibly priced. Our handcrafted gifts are still budget friendly. And I'm proud it's made perfect by the handcraft team. It's such an outcome for gifts and greeting cards. 1 euro a handmade card, 3,75 euro's for my handmade necklaces, and 1,50 euro's  for a bracelet. I picked up on jewelry making again. I found new materials this week, and the possibility to create earrings. 

    

They wheren't scurvey with the materials this time, and they where proud off what I made off it. These butterfly earrings will be 3,50 euro's a pair. They found them extremely pretty and worthit the big price. The materials where so pretty. I work with their materials, but I don't gain any financial profit out off it myself, except being creatively active at a daycare centre. It's a bit sad. I have barely money to eat this week, but my creativity roars due to their new materials. I can live, but thanks to others. It's a bit off comfort in dark days to be capable to be so nicely creative. It's just a pity people don't buy these. It's actually piling a bit up in our shop. I hope we find costumers for my jewelry. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading.
