{this moment}


{ this moment }
A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week.
 A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Work that I love






Work that I love.
Bringing life to people's most beautiful dreams.
I feel so grateful when they let me
This is a hotel, an old mansion and adjoining buildings and a threshing area used as a balcony overlooking the meandering river.
My favorites are definitively our beds and, can you spot what else? Yes, that little seating on on the right that is like candy to me. Oh yes, I love it, and I love my work!

Found here and here.

A touch of yellow


I love yellow.
It is is such a powerful colour. 
It can change my attitude, my mood, my day.

Sunny.

{This is by far my favorite Ikea product ever}.

A Princess of Style

I love fairy tales. 
 I love happily-ever-afters. 
I love Kings and Queens, palaces and castles. 
On February 5th, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, celebrated her 40th birthday.
To mark the occasion, the royal court of Danmark issued a series of photos, 
one of which really caught my eye. 


The perfect stage, 
the perfect clothes and pose,
contemporary and chic,
for a young mother of four, 
a Scotish-Tasmanian Princess 
who has studied and worked in advertising and marketing.
Picture perfect. 
Happy Birthday, Your Highness!

Fashion Fridays:How to tie a scarf

Is there an element in your wardrobe that defines your style? 
It may be a colour, e.g. all black, 
a style, like long flowery dresses, 
or an accessory, such as oversized glasses. 
For me it used to be rings, stacked one on top of the other. That was the glorious 80s. 
Now it's bracelets, and come Summer or Winter, scarves.
I absolutely love scarves.


They add colour and pattern to the simplest of attire. 
A plain t-shirt, a jacket or cardi and black slacks for work,
a white t-shirt and white linen drawstring trousers in the summer,
there is always scope for a scarf or wrap.
A tiny triangle, a square, a long scarf, I like playing around them.
There is a range of materials and prices to choose for. 
Here are some ideas:





Apply to your style
and have fun!

These pictures took my breath away this chilly February morning.

Chalkboards and Confessions


Chalkboards have been around for quite some time now. 
We have a chalk board painted wall for ages, and I never tire of it. 
And we have a couple of chalkboards at home that I'm going to show you.
But they just got their seal of aproval and avant-guardedeness by the one and only Oprah.
 A lovely entirely hand-lettered cover for the February issue of O, the Oprah magazine, and inside a story all illustrated by artist Dana Tanamachi.
Take a look. 


The cover.
