For a while the Bottle Vases from FoekjeFleur<\/a> are on my wishlist. Lately you see these vases more and more on Instagram, what made me even more enthousiast about the Bottle Vases. So two weeks ago I thought it was time to finally order a Bottle Vase at FoekjeFleur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The warm yellow nr 3 was the one that I wanted. Only this vase was not on stock anymore. So I emailed Foekje Fleur when she would have that particular one back on stock. Immediately I got an email back that she thought there might be one in her atelier, but she wasn’t completely sure about it.
The next day she mailed me that she actually had one and that it was already on his way to me. Wow great, I was very happy to hear this.
On Monday the vase arrived, but when I got the package from the mailman I immediately heard that there was something wrong with it. The vase was broken. Pff that wasn’t nice at all. The package was well packed by Foekje Fleur and still it was broken by the postal service. And unfortunately this was her last warm yellow nr 3 vase.

After mailing Foekje Fleur about it, she felt bad too about it, it was the first time this happened to her. She would sent me a new one, but I had to be patience because she was away for a couple of days. In the mean time I was thinking that I wanted some more vases, so I ordered two more. And since the warm yellow ones wouldn’t be there anymore I for the broken one I thought, she could sent me a green one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday morning my package arrived from FoekjeFleur, and luckily all Bottle Vase where unbroken. And with a nice card in it that she found a warm yellow nr 3 in a store in Rotterdam, that she picked up for me. Wow the service she offers is fantastic. And all the three vases are beautiful, so happy with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story behind the Bottle Vase is really interesting. Foekje Fleur started with the Bottle Vases after she read about the plastic soup that is found in the oceans. She started looking for plastic in her hometown Rotterdam, close to the river The Maas. And she did found a lot of plastic, some even from the sixties.
