Mercredi Moodboard

Just one.

No more.

Six beautiful images, 

Hopefully creating something greater than the sum of their parts.

It's my moodboard for today.

The weather's foul so we're staying home.

No school here on Wednesday, remember!

Bonne journée !

Thanks for the inspiration:

Playing It Simple

Yep, the older I get, the more I need to simplify.

In every area of my life.

Toys are no exception. I like them wooden, basic, well-designed,

as most of you know.

Less is More.

For me anyway.

Inspiration: Wolfechild SS14

 

 

I think I'm ready for some pretty floral designs, and it's only the 3rd of February!

Mokkasin's beautiful product styling using William Morris wallpaper has had me dreaming of Spring, wild flowers in the garden and pastel petals in our home. We like to keep things minimal, but there's nothing nicer than a small bouquet of freshly picked wild flowers in a vintage French jam jar, especially when they're a present from your child.

Talking of children, simple pleasures and flowers, 

have you seen Claire Wolfe Boockmeier's new collection? 

 WolfeChild SS14 is now online.

Love! 

Inspiration: Those Blues

 

Five Favorite Links.

I almost wrote "no comment".

Yes, I think they "speak" for themselves.

Enjoy!

Inspiration: Poetical Pink

I'm starting to sound like my mother, going on about the weather every time I come online. But I am English and it's just been so glorious here the last couple of days, so...

I'm ready for Spring. I've been pottering at home, dying for the first blossoms to appear, thinking about all the work that needs to be done in the garden and generally feeling very lucky to live in the South of France.

Cécile Daladier's beautiful ceramics have something to do with this. I'm following her tumblr and enjoying every single image. How delicate, unique and poetical are those vases! 

Yes, I might be falling in love with pink.

Bonne journée !

 Copirates

I love these French creatives' work. 

Always a little different, off the beaten path.

I can't wait to see what they've been busy working on for the new tradefair

Little Fashion Week in Brussels next month!

Beci Orpin is a "happiness expert"  too.

Beci Orpin's giant confetti wall DIY project featured in her book Find & Keep.

I've just listened to her Creative Mornings in Melbourne talk and loved every minute. 

15 minutes of your time well spent this weekend, I promise!

Enjoy!

Mono Monday

 

 

Bonjour !

It rained cats and dogs here over the weekend, 

a rare occurence, I have to admit.

Reason enough for us to press on with our renovation work at home - a neverending saga!

We have an all white home cinema / multimedia room in the making, although it looks more like a dance studio right now (you are following me on instagram aren't you?)!

I know it's Colour My Monday but in keeping with my own interior, I'm opting for a neutral palette today.

I hope you enjoy these few simple finds.

Thanks for the inspiration:

Les Copirates - here & here
