I'm an old style girl

Look what I found in my wandering through Antiques markets.

Wool winding in style!

It works perfectly only need to be adjusted on the table... I found the perfect notebook that just does the job! ;-)

On coffee, cookies and slow time

Rainy Thursday/Sunny Thursday let's take the weather as it comes!

I take a pause with cloud cookies, coffee and Slo. 

TAKK Explorations of Nordic Cafe Culture:

10 days to go, help Corey and Sam to realise this nice project.

I found about it through Ashley :-) and I'm a proud backer now!

*I added few vintage findings in the shop (the plates I kept for myself are chipped ;))

The clouds are back

Monday morning again? Sorry for random posting, I've been very busy lately and even more quite soon.

Now, I've been searching for clouds material for aaages: I wanted to find something special and I did it!

These grey clouds are made with new but vintage 1940's (never used) Welsh blankets, they are so soft and thick, just the perfect fabric I was looking for.

Available now in the shop.

It's still coldish here and we are longing for Summer days, we wear our sandals at home just to feel summery!

More news for the shop, soon. 

**On another note, I decided to quit Pinterest: few upsetting things happened lately.  This photo was pinned indiscriminately to advert a product (a rather dodgy one) without my permission. Lately, I saw popping out many nasty comments on things made by rather nice people, inappropriate images are on the increase and strangers who are using other (defunct) people names too. What's this all about? No thanks, too much for me. 
Also I felt that the Pinterest team didn't respond to my appeal of help when my photo was "hijacked"perhaps they are overwhelmed but that doesn't help to sympathise with them.
It was nice at the beginning, but now I don't want to be part of it any more.
Sorry to those who were following my boards and to those I was following, I hope you understand. Thank you**

Potholders (and food)

Hello and happy beginning of the week.

Today I had fun cooking and styling Renilde's pot holders for "knots", oh well, I didn't cook Renilde's pot holders of course! :D I made quinoa and bulgar, omelette with furikake and fromage blanc, spring cabbage and leeks chunky soup.

*I like what she cooks and eats.

Update 17.4: the pot holders are sold out, thank you for your orders and thank you for visiting my shop (wow that was pot holder's fever!!!)

to cherish

A little parcel came all the way from Australia.

Good Monday,

I feel knackered this morning, we had quite few sleep deprived nights because Anita has a "huge" cold (and a bad cough too, now).

I started my day with a good breakfast: freshly squeezed orange juice, Irish porridge (with lots of seeds) topped with red fruits compote and lotus tea. 

I'm so happy to have a new addition in my shop - and one in my kitchen too ;)-  
"Checked" cutting boards from Fine Little Day, now at "knots", tak Elisabeth!


Enjoy your day.
Happy holidays to the kids!
