Quiero! Made by Inèz

The last days/weeks I've been very busy with Quiero!, my jewelry-label (in my new working room of course!). I might want to make Quiero! my real job in the future and therefore I'm doing a lot of designing, assembling en testing.


The result, at least a part of it, can be found at my Facebook-page.


I have put a little once-only collection online: 'Feel Africa'. In this collection I used earthly colors and wooden beads. The collection exist of two necklaces, two bracelets, and six pairs of earrings.



Also I've had finally time to make photographs of the beautiful leather bracelets I brought from Argentina: 'Cuero Argentino'. They are available in 10 beautiful colors. 


















Check it out!

Fred!

Since three years my boyfriend and I have the tradition to not give each other presents for x-mas, instead we go to a good (read: Michelin-starred) restaurant together. We've been to Ivy and Parkheuvel. Last Saturday we went to Fred

Fred's interior. This was exactly the view we had! :-)


We had three beautiful courses. 
Starters:
- Creamy minced veal with gherkins and capers, a crispy sesame wafer, homemade pickles and langoustines lightly braised in olive oil served with basil & lime mayonnaise.
- Thin sliced Irish oxtail steak marinated in a dressing of vintage balsamic vinegar with homemade filet americain, crispy bacon parmesan cheese and horseradish.

Mains:
- Roasted sea bass with fried langoustine served with curry risotto and a langoustine crème
- Gently fried halibut served with a tartar of smoked Ijsselmeer Eel, beure blanc and beetroot

Desserts: I forgot!
One was a merengue with raspberries, poached rhubarb and a sorbet of yoghurt en lime. 

All was delicious!!
