Good Morning!

Another lovely sunny day here.

I thought I'd start off the day with a blast of colour and a few vintage smiles from Savannah and Miles' bedroom.

Nothing cost the earth, just bits and bobs we picked up along the way

Happy Friday!

Fit for a Princess

 A couple of weeks ago I won a giveaway organised by Elisabeth at Fine Little Day.

I'm sure you can all appreciate how pleased I am to have one of Leililaloo's beautiful cushions in our home. I have given it to my little princess, Savannah, whose bedroom is full of red and yellow. She loves it!

 Dana is always busy making lots of different things, experimenting and pushing boundaries. I've featured her gorgeous artwork before and many of you will associate Leililaloo with her colourful soft houses. Please stop by her  inspiring blog and say hello from me before taking a look at the rest of her handmade pillows, fit for a princess! 

Thank you Dana!

Washday

Summer Laundry day by LeiLiLaLoo

I've had a big washing day today as I'm trying to get the house in order before we go away on holiday. I actually find this chore therapeutic; I love seeing all my vintage linen sheets and pillowcases hanging on the line (another thing I collect, by the way) and as it's so hot here everything dries in no time. Crisp, clean linen, whites, creams and greys, olive trees and lavender, I'll have to take some photos one day...

Laundry is a wonderful source of inspiration. I can remember walking round Girona in Spain years ago and admiring what seemed like hundreds of washing lines strung across brightly-coloured Mediterranean houses on the banks of the Onyar river, it was so beautiful.

Kaarina Kaikkonen's outside installations using mens' shirts are amazing, just look at these photos, found via the Art Room Plant

Here's a selection of laundry-inspired artwork that caught my eye today:

Finally, as a busy mum of three, I can't help thinking that 20 USD for this would be money well spent, don't you?
