Five days of sunshine, summer and the Spanish good life. We enjoyed the nature on the beautiful island of Mallorca. We drove around the Mediterranean island and stayed in some nice hotels. Traveling gives such a boost and it's so refreshing to be 'desconectado' for a while...

A new pillow design; harlequin meets stripe.

The pillow is reversible and 'tied together' to fringes.
Harlequins & slim stripes, a perfect match!

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.
