get stripy

year in year out, there is still a lot of black and white living going on in the blogosphere... 

personally, i like it less monochrome (not mondrianesque colours, mind you) and i'm sure this translates into my shop and the pictures you find here on the blog. my mantra is: put some juice in your life!

today a lady has done just this by buying 4 colourful cushion covers (pic 1). in pic 2 you see the new set i put in place.

btw: have you any blogs you like especially that you think could be of interest to me? thanks for letting me know!

linen - the real thing

 

have you ever tried linen bedding?

maybe you shouldn't because once you've tried you will desperately want them! and you will never be enthusiastic again to buy a bed-set in ikea.  

the problem you see, is that linen certainly is eye-wateringly expensive. 

but oh-so-good.

so for more than a year i have been on the look-out for linen bedding for the shop. and i have found in france and the uk (pics of the latter). but i'm hesitating and so far haven't ordered because of the prices.
what's more i'm lacking the room in the shop to properly display it on a bed (which makes it quite irresistible).

on the other hand: spend 3 nights in a hotel and you will spend the same money. maybe you should just stay home instead and enjoy your linen bedding the entire weekend and for many years to come :-)

blue but not in a sad way

two days ago i was contacted by a company for african textiles... with a norwegian creative director... that makes  for a good north-south shake-up!

have a nice weekend everybody, sunnier days are waiting for us for sure :-)
