How much choice we have...

picture: Oka

Sometimes when you try to find the right objects for your home, you don't find anything but when you are not looking, it seems to me that you usually bump in to them.
Last week, I ordered this lovely new quilt for my bed. It is from Oka a lovely british store, which unfortunately is only available online for me, so I couldn't resist the temptation... The quilt is white, with a beautiful repetitive pattern which gives my bed class and comfort.



The beautiful flowers come from my sister, for my birthday last week, and the piece of fabric you can see on the picture is a left over I found from Laura Ashley. I love to buy some small pieces of tissue and thinking of ways what I can do with it.

I visit all of you, but don't always have the time to leave a comment, but love all of your posts, so interesting and full of inspiration.


enjoy the nice days and take care.

reading, watching, enjoying




I have ordered some new coffee table books, I know I already have enough books and magazines around me, but the temptation to sit and read some more is sometimes stronger than myself.
This time I found the lovely 'Perfect english cottage' and 'Simply Country' both have great photographs and really show the cosy cottage interiors.
We are off work for some days, so I will be more than happy to browse through the pages, hopefully visit some old bookstores, to look for old engravings and pictures.



enjoy the days everybody!

Once I start, I can't seem to stop...


I have sewing last weekend again, it started with a little pillow, than a handkerchief holder and now, I have ordered more fabric from Cabbages and Roses, to keep the projects going! Since the weather is back to cold and rain, it's a good excuse to keep internal projects going.

Cabbages and Roses really is my point of inspiration at the moment, their colours and prints are amazing.

enjoy the week everybody!
