Couleurs locales.

The colors, flowers, light, laundry and windmill life in Ericeira.

let's stay inside

In my atelier, the very first woodwoolstool, I've made in 2007 standing next to a steel vintage stool. They are both blue and dressed. The vintage bed end coverlets serve as curtains. An embroidered postcard from Marrakech in a handmade scrapwood photo frame and the disco ball popped up between the Christmas decorations. A glance in the bamboo sunburst mirror.

In the living room the Hare Family and paper Christmas stars are lined up. And although it's freezing outside, the bougainvillea in the kitchen window sill is in bloom for the umpteenth time...

pink blooms

Pink blooms in the front yard on this Friday morning.
The hollyhocks outside between the paving and the bougainvillea inside the kitchen window.

Enjoy these beautiful and long june days!

budding bougainvillea leaves

The new leaves of the Bougainvillea in the kitchen windowsill are turning pink again.

This week I noticed the first pink leaves (yay!), followed by more after only a few days.
First signs of spring!

The window sill is a bright, sunny growing location and I hope within a while I can move the plant back in the backyard.

Sunshine is the most important requirement for this blooming beauty. The same goes for me...

spring in marrakech

Spring in Marrakech is stunning. During our travels on the cool crochet tour, we visit lots of beautiful gardens. This time of year you can find the red city blooming everywhere!
Together with a group of plant-loving creatives, we enjoyed nature's bounty every single day.
