sour & sweet & spring

Some maternity gifts I've made for sweet baby [jules].

A wood & word sign and a wood & word hare hanger with his beautiful name.

and Y A Y, it's officially spring today!

just a yellow lemon tree

We have a houseplant!

There are always flowers in the house, but never plants.
This small lemon tree is the first!
I'd love to have a huge lemon tree once, but I'm afraid it will not survive, so it's a start.

The lemon tree is on my desk and this song is in my head; And all that I can see is just another lemon tree...
Also on the desk; the matching pages of week 6 in the Villa Augustus agenda.
The lemon rug we bought last year at Bobo Choses and it's hanging on the wall in the livingroom.

Christmas traditions.

el limón

Bobo Choses is a super cool brand from sunny Spain and I’m a huge fan. I’ve discovered their home collection a while ago in Paris and I’m especially loving the fruit rugs. The rugs are handmade and look cool not just as rugs but also as wall hangings.

Each collection is linked to a story or fairy tale. The current collection is based on the story about the neighborhood supermarket of Jean Gustav, where he sells the most delicious tomatoes, yellowest lemons and tastiest smelling freshly baked bread. So we decided to have the lemon rug for our home, it refreshes our living and perfectly disguises all tiny holes of the previous alphabet wall.

parisian pastel

Brought from Paris, souvenirs for the kitchen; a canvas tote and garden & picnic cups.

le deuxième jour à paris

The second day in Paris, we started at the Eiffel Tower. Un gentilhomme took our family portrait.

We visited Palais de Tokyo and walked along the Canal Saint Martin. We went twice that day together in a photobooth (more about this later). Via Boulevard Beaumarchais to Bonton (fell in love with the orange rug) and Merci, for a late lunch. At the end of the day we drove back home.

Deux jours à Paris est délicieux!
