a little bit of dolce & gabbana

you can say it's a bit of a bad joke to speak of sunglasses on such a rainy day like this. i know. but it is going to rain tomorrow and the day after too, so i just can't wait that long... especially since i just sold a pair of these this afternoon.

very costa amalfitana if you ask me. (i really should be there now.)

for those looking extraclose: you've noted that in the second picture the frames are in black, not tortoise as shown in the first picture; so there is tortoise and black to chose from. and there is another pair where the embelishment is in black instead of gold, as shown in the picture below. all for the same price tag of 54.-

new arrival

today... 

ideally there should be a balance of cubic meters that go in and out of the store. but today there is definitely more coming in --> i'll have to see that i reverse the tendency for the days to come!

so if you come to the store: please by chunky things, (on top of the jewellery, if you like), thank you very much!

rock chrystal

 













i love to buy special pieces and this certainly is one!

two cusps of rock chrystal captured by a twiddled wire for this edgy pair of earrings.

come to think of it: how many thousand years to form these chrystals?

ps: the new sunnies have just arrived from the UK this afternoon! so keep posted for the new styles next week...

easter opening times

 

easter is approaching fast now, so to let you know in time, please be informed of the shop's opening times around the holidays:

new vase

yesterday this new vase with the thin blue line arrived from denmark. lovely and fresh.

a little still life

the trays from sweden have arrived, here's the small size with the geraniums and butterflies.

for a perfect little gift (without the calories) if you're invited for easter.

there is a larger size and two more designs to chose from.

Tatjana in the house

the last two days i had my (not so little) niece to work with me in the shop. that was good fun. the thing she prefered doing was to stand at the cash desk and make the customer pay :-) fair enough!

today we played around with some ephemeral tatoos and sunglasses, my brother nearly fainted when he saw her at the end of the day, hihihi.

a bunch of tulips

looks like i have seen too many episodes of the series "the Tudors" where heads were cut off... at any rate i discovered 3 tulip stumps in the bouquet that had to be put in smaller containers. but they still look pretty!

details

a bit of colour on a rainy day...

manuela's sideboard

this entire week i have been a woman on a mission: deliver tax declaration... uffff, i'm nearly done.

so i'm thankful manuela sent me this picture i can post today :-)

last week manuela came to collect her ordered combination of the stacked system and here you can see the result! 

i really like the mix of ash wood and white elements and the way she stacked it. i'm taking notes! detail: if you look more closely you can see that the backboard of the lower element on the left is pink.

have a lovely weekend!

on order only

mamma mia, little Victoria is so cute with her liberty scarf... made by her own mum! 

actually the scarf was made on order for Victoria's best friend but then of course Victoria "ordered" her own scarf too so she and her friend can have the same.

if you think this is irresistible (as you clearly should :-)) you can order your own specimen and Marie will make it for you. contact me at entrez@leboudoir.ch for any questions. 

btw: this liberty fabric will soon find its way to the shop in form of pouches... click on the link "purses and pouches" below to see Marie's lovely pouches and the other fabrics that are available too.

back in stock

now back in stock again!

(and i have ordered enough pieces this time round)

why work?

i mean, just now when the sun is shining?

when i see this picture of sabine she just sent me...

domestic peace saved

also in my last muuto order: this oak lounge chair. it is so comfortable! i took one home.

the lounge chair can now be tested in the shop. the fringe benefit i have't thought of before: tired (= impatient) boyfriends can be seated while you browse the store in peace of mind.

the lounge chair can also be ordered in various colours (red, green, grey and black).
