Photoshoot: lilac

This is me admiring my latest corner of inspiration:

Lilac from my garden, an IKEA green watering can, an old little cabinet [shabby-chic'd], black cast iron candle holder.

Repurposed: a jar which I used as a glass for ivy, wooden box - painted to look french-chic, a white spent light bulb.

Crafts: paper stars and magazine curls - I lost the link where I saw how to make them, but I'm working on recovering it. Made these for Christmas, so I can't remember, either.

Photoshoot: white and mauve/violet tulips

This is me loving these tulips and documenting their brief yet most welcome stay in my home. Tulips and freesias are spring flowers I love. And whereas I always know you cannot go wrong with freesias [the worst being when they don't smell and are just beautiful to watch], sometimes I am afraid of tulips and their very short lifespan when offered as a bouquet. These, however, were given to me as two separate bouquets by my family and seem to have been very keen of the environment they lived in.

I want to have my today's afternoon tea with fermLIVING

Wallsticker, Birch	Small Cup
Teapot	Velo Tea Towel
Cork Dinner Mat	Large Cup

Another nice online shop for your lovely home. Not much variety in the kitchen and office section, but just check out the wallpapers and wallstickers!

This is me enjoying the idea of maybe posting themed decor ideas based on their wallsticker collection

Repurposing: Vinyl records

 
"Elis Iaia was born in 1980.
Elis draws on vinyls with bedtime stories and 80's music. She recycles her childhood's records and imagination."
Text taken from her site. Not out of lack of inspiration but because I couldn't have said it better.

All images taken from her site. It's worth taking a look. There are many categories. You'll find something retro, vintage, inspirational.

This is me thinking I'm fortunate to live in the same country as she does,

being able to easily order one.

From my heart: soothing greens
