Oxford and thoughts

These cold and rainy days are so uninspiring and boring,
 I think I reached the point when I have enough:
 it's not so much about the rain, it's the cold that bother me.

On the weekend though it was sunny and we went to 
Oxford.

I like Oxford, quite international.

I found out the story behind Alice's in Wonderland 
while we walked through Christ Church Meadow. 

On another hand this morning I read a post on Pikaland 
that then led me to more links, I find it interesting. 
I don't know if it's because I'm European but I live the 
whole blogging experience quite differently: I know that 
behind blogs there are human beings, hence daily life 
and all the different problems that arise from it. 
I think it's interesting that people feel the need 
to share the other side of their lives. 
Are we alienating ourselves by blogging about nice stuff?

I never take for granted that what people share in their blogs 
is the whole reality of a person's life. Do you?

 

Kinfolk

A new addition in the shop:

The shop has a new look, do you like it?

Have a good day, find your way to slow down a bit.

Look what I found in the Antique market.

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.

the clouds are back

I've been searching for clouds material for ages, 
I wanted to find something special and I did it.

These grey clouds are made with new but vintage 
1940's Welsh blankets, they are so soft and thick.

Available now in the shop.

I feel knackered this morning, we had quite few sleep
deprived nights because A is poorly.

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.
