It’s all in your head

Inspired by pure white,

Chanel creates head pieces that are so beautifully intricate;
no one will even notice the outfit.




white + paper + flowers
. pure delight .

yellow fever

Yellow is for sun
ornaments of gold,
colour of papers
that are preserved and old

Yellow is for smiles
juicy lemons and sunflowers,
a friend of spring showers
bumblebees and sweet mothers.

knock.knocking

maybe it's my love for yarns. maybe an obsession with wreaths.
or after all I am just crazy for all marvelous things.
while browsing through Agnes Blum pieces of art
I wish I could have a different look for my front door each and every month.
her beautiful bouquets are intrinsically handmade and specially
crafted for the ones passionate for details. the color combination and
the beautiful felt flowers can add a welcome mood better than any words could.

made in france

impressive hand made art from designer Frédérique Morrel definitely makes her work unique. life size creatures come alive through vintage needlework and tapestry. each piece tells a story "with themes, colors and details designed to make them the noblest intruders from the animal world in your home" - how cool is that? does it appeal to you? visit the website to browse through interesting items, get to know the artist better and see some of the creation process.

flourishing beauties

the new dinnerware collection Flourish by Thomas Paul mixes modern and vintage

all in one. showcasing the art of ornate pictorial calligraphy and
inspired by shades of french macaroons,
the melamine tableware can make any serving look as fancy as a jewel.

I would love to have them just hanging on a wall.
