November is almost over, so time for an illustrated recap of what I wore most a.k.a. my November favourites. The last part of this month has been cold, so I’ve been keeping warm in some new (coat) but mostly old favourites.

The Broth Bar: new stockist.

I’m proud and happy to have a selection of customized cards and posters at The Broth Bar. If you love organic, healthy and home made food or are looking for local or zero waste products, be sure to visit this beautiful place if you’re ever in Maastricht. Lots of gluten free and vegan options too! Owner Charlotte even persuaded me to have my picture taken. Not an easy task!

#meetthemaker, part 2

Meet the maker hello Mangomini

Thanks to everyone who follows me here! I noticed quite a lot of new follower as well, thank you so much for that! Here is a little bit about me, in a drawing of course. An updated version of an earlier #meetthemaker illustration that I did. Hope you like it!
PS. I still have 20% discount on everything in my Etsy shop. Sale ends tomorrow.

PS2. The book you see is The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho, one of my all time favourites.

Just A Card Indie Week SALE!

indie week just a card

Forget black Friday- it’s all about JUST A CARD – INDIE WEEK! A campaign to encourage people to shop independent this year.

This year I didn’t want to participate in a black Friday sale. The whole “madness” around it and the emphasis on just pushing people to consume more and more and more does not appeal to me. We, in the Netherlands, don’t even celebrate Thanksgiving but still over the last few years black Friday sales are EVERYWHERE. Crazy, right? But then I discovered the JUST A CARD – INDIE WEEK.  A perfect way to give Holiday season shoppers a nice discount and at the same time support a small business. So from now until November 24th I have 20% discount on everything in my ETSY shop.

It’s The Little Things In Life..

Favorite things right now Mangomini

Small Things That Are Making Me Happy, In Drawings Of Course.

A quick sketch of some of my favourite things right now. I’m trying to shop less but better. So less impulse buys and more things that I can enjoy for a long time. I’m also looking forward to 2 more Ben Howard concerts. Money spend on experiences is always money well spend, especially if it’s Ben Howard (in my opinion anyway!) While working from home I like to listen to podcasts to keep me company and informed. I recently discovered By the book and I’ve been binge-listening ever since.

PS. Nothing on here is sponsored, just things that I really like.
