What camera(s) do you use?
I use a Nikon D80, a Nikon D7000 and a Canon PowerShot S95. For the Nikons I use the following lenses: Sigma (for Nikon) 24-70 mm f/2.8 lens (for food and portraits) Nikkor 28 mm f/2.8 (indoors wide angle) Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8 (mostly for on the road as it’s small but not great, I recommend getting the Nikkor 28 mm instead) Nikon 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 (standard lens for outdoors and landscapes). I shoot tethered in Adobe Aperture/Bridge and edit my photos in Adobe Photoshop.
Where did you buy the green and pink pendants?
I’ve bought them at Cath Kidston in 2006 but they are no longer for sale.
Where did you buy the winter squash poster in your kitchen?
It’s illustrated by Claudia Pearson, you can buy it in her Etsy shop.
I’m going on holiday to London, what is your favourite Cath Kidston Shop?

What yarn do you use and where do you buy it?
Please visit my Shop.
How do I paint my floors/doors/anything, how do I wallpaper?
I advice you to pay a visit to your local DIY or decoration/paint shop as they can advice you how to do these things yourself. You can read about my technique here and here.
I’ve sent you an e-mail, but you didn’t reply?
I do get a lot of e-mail and sometimes it just takes forever to answer them. It may take up to a month (or two). I don’t reply when a questions is asked that can be read here and I don’t reply to e-mails I don’t know the language of.
Can I (we) advertise on your blog/how to become a sponsor?
Please contact me for information.
Acclaiming Things
You may use my photos without prior written permission. I do however like to know where they go and what they’re used for out of general interest, so an e-mail would be much appreciated.
You may not change my photos, not make them lighter or darker or resize them. They should stay in their original format otherwise I get cross and might pull your hair. You should always credit my photos with either my name (Yvonne Eijkenduijn) or my website (www.yvestown.com) Thank you!
