The Blues part 2

A while ago in Februari we blogged on our dutch blog about our new blue espresso cups.
These were created in our new delfs blue and fresh turquoise glaze. And we loved it and went on 
with  these blue colors....
A few steady products from our "Stone & Color" series we have glazed in these colors.
Strange because i'm a real green freak - but love to make a blue moment in my life once a while :)

And that beautiful blue.... i have no clue ;) comes in a lot of shades. From steel blue to classic blues like delfs or cobalt blue. Here are two examples of our new blue products.

(Pictures are link to our shop).

    

Ohhh we do not want to forget our turquoise cafe cups without ears - a super basic shape - from the    "Stone & Color" collectie.

  

Blue belongs to thursdays.... that's typical it is thursdaynight when i wright this blog :)

Blue is the color nobility and stands for creativity and a happy career.

In magic blue is a healing color for the soul and stands for wisdom, trust, hope, inner peace, 

strength, idealism and fairness.

Swinging around....

Oke here we go again :) - changing plans, looks, etc.
Had a ceramic shop for 5 years but sinds the end of 2014 this stopped (my choice).
For an other direction in my life, after finding the love of my life in an other city...
This year is hopefully my year to get it a bit stable and also the year i turn the big "40"

A time ago "Swarte Noot" was born (a mix of our both sir names). But after i while it is still alive in the mind but not so in reality....so for now i will go on with my company name "Noot & Zo"
And i will be blogging here :)

So a small newsletter was send and some new colors of the "Stone & Color" espresso cups are listed online:
