Laundry day

Today was one of those days, when your iron basket is so full that you can't ignore it any longer. So, that's just what I have been doing, laundry, ironing, and more ironing... I don't really mind to do some ironing, sometimes it's even therapeutic.
Beautiful products and nice packaging make doing laundry a bit nicer though!

Don't you love that scent of clean laundry, cupboards with neat piles of sheets and linens, all ready for use ?
I don't know about you, but I love to have crispy ironed bedsheets, it's just one of those little luxuries which makes a difference in your day.
Now, I am just happy it is sunday evening, and before starting the week, I'll enjoy a cup of tea.

quiet week

It's been a quiet week, did some sewing and managed to arrange some things here and there.
I made a lovely linen food cover, for keeping bread or cookies in, I have been very inspired by the book 'Esprit de Famille' so I try to make as many projects as I can from there.




Plants and books just make the picture complete, and for my birthday I received 'Forbidden Fruit' about the history of women and reading, so interesting! and it makes a beautiful coffee table book....

let's hope the sun won't leave us too early this summer and that we still can enjoy the outside a bit.
take care!

Here comes the sun....and some flowers too!

Finally some sunshine...How different the world can look with a bit of light. I have been making a pillow from a piece of fabric of Laura Ashley, which gives immediately more colour and gives a cottage feel.
The garden has been decorated with some flowers and I discovered the Laura Ashley garden collection, which is so lovely, the garden boots are so feminine and their gloves, aprons, it all makes you feel like working in de garden (even though my garden is not so big...).

We also bought a new bed, which makes me happy, since I wanted something completely different, first I opted for white but than I thought that a dark bed with a lot of white around, is also very elegant and special. So, now I am busy redecorating our bedroom, which is very nice.

Yesterday I found a new treasure which I will share soon with you, but for now I will continue with my home and wish you all a sunny day!
