pin it

Another metropole to pin on the world map of woodwoolstool destinations is Singapore!

plates i love

Some plates around the kitchen (old ones and new ones).
You can never have enough plates and mixing them looks even better!

Owl by Zara Home
Barbapapa blowing bubbles also Zara Home (meanwhile in London - gift for Afra)
Pottery plate with spots from Sissy Boy Homeland and the cute blue with white flowers plate comes from brocante Lammie Verkoopt.
Enamel plate from Villa Augustus market shop (years ago), keeps the scrapwood free from cooking splashes.

slim stripes

A new pillow design; harlequin meets stripe.
The pastel colors make this pillow so summery.
The pillow is reversible and 'tied together' to fringes.
Harlequins & slim stripes, a perfect match!

wood & white

This week we suddenly had a few hours of sunshine in the garden.
I dropped everything and quit what I was working on to go outside and enjoy this moment in the garden. With the sun around the garden looks so summery.
The whites get even whiter and the shadows are stunning. The shadylace parasol remained closed, nonetheless the tiny basket made a nice 'shady lace' effect on the fence.

PS: Can we get back the sunshine, please?!

pour les plus petits

For the little ones, there's [le département de bébé] in my tiny shop.

mister mower

The other day, after mowing the grass, I sat for a while in an easy chair to marvel my garden work. Suddenly I noticed the lawnmower, standing against the wall, looked back. Rather grumpy... This reminded me of the plastic jars I'm saving to make 'funny faces'. So I made two friends for Mister Mower, with two plastic jars and found some eyecups in the kitchen...

a lovely garden needs dirty fingernails

It's about time to sow the flower seed collection.
This year I picked Cosmos (pink and orange), Zinnias (striped, large and small), Livingstone Daisies, Lathyrus, Poppies and Cornflowers. The Hollyhocks from last year are already brisk plants!
Fingers crossed for a beautiful colorful and sunny summer!
