We stayed in the apartment of her friend Sarah.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-encounter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The encounter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between Sinterklaas and Christmas, Sarah hosted a party, so of course we wanted to bring her a thoughtful gift. We started looking for something that would fit beautifully into her home. Before Janneke arrived, I wandered through a few shops and took photos of pieces I liked. Together, we eventually chose a watering can from MacKenzie-Childs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somehow, that moment sparked my interest in the brand. I&nbsp;hadn\u2019t&nbsp;really seen it in Europe, but in the&nbsp;U.S.,&nbsp;it seemed to be everywhere. Back home, I even created a small LTK post about it:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/liketk.it\/50yMt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/liketk.it\/50yMt<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium has-lightbox\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liketk.it\/50yMt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"505\" data-attachment-id=\"9438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/woonlookbook.com\/nl\/a-chance-encounter-with-timeless-design-mackenzie-childs\/mackenzie-childs-products\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?fit=2048%2C1294&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1294\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MacKenzie-Childs products\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;overview of an LTK shop post MacKenzie-Child&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;LTK shop post MacKenzie-Child&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?fit=1160%2C733&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=800%2C505&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=800%2C505&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=1160%2C733&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=1536%2C971&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=120%2C76&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=90%2C57&amp;ssl=1 90w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=320%2C202&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=560%2C354&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=1920%2C1213&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=80%2C51&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=240%2C152&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=180%2C114&amp;ssl=1 180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=640%2C404&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=1120%2C708&amp;ssl=1 1120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?resize=1600%2C1011&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-products.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">LTK shop post MacKenzie-Child<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I found especially lovely is that this&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;my first encounter. Looking back through my photos, I discovered that I had already captured MacKenzie-Childs&#8217;&nbsp;pieces in 2010, during a visit to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard. To me, that says something about the timeless charm of the designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"735\" data-attachment-id=\"9436\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/woonlookbook.com\/nl\/a-chance-encounter-with-timeless-design-mackenzie-childs\/mackenzie-childs-marthas-vineyard_img_8578\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?fit=2048%2C1882&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1882\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MacKenzie-Childs martha&amp;#8217;s vineyard_IMG_8578\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;in shopping window black and white mackenzie-childs products&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;in shopping window black and white mackenzie-childs products&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?fit=1160%2C1066&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=800%2C735&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MacKenzie-Childs\" class=\"wp-image-9436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=800%2C735&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=1160%2C1066&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=1536%2C1412&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=120%2C110&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=90%2C83&amp;ssl=1 90w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=320%2C294&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=560%2C515&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=1920%2C1764&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=80%2C74&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=240%2C221&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=180%2C165&amp;ssl=1 180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=640%2C588&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=1120%2C1029&amp;ssl=1 1120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?resize=1600%2C1470&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/woonlookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MacKenzie-Childs-marthas-vineyard_IMG_8578.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">in shopping window black and white MacKenzie-Childs products in 2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a-small-tribute\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A small tribute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March this year, I read in The New York Times that Victoria MacKenzie-Childs, founder of the brand, had passed away. One line from the article stayed with me:&nbsp;<em>\u201cHer penchant for mixing and matching dishes, even those with imperfections, has only more recently become a mainstream expression of good taste.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pieces are often colorful and expressive. I personally lean more towards a calm, neutral palette, but I truly admire her vision and the world she created together with her husband.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this post, I simply wanted to take a moment \u2014 and pay a small tribute&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em>This post may contain affiliate links.
