Winter garden


The garden in winter is quiet, yet I hear the rustling of a bird, looking for a morsel, or the squirrels, jumping from branch to branch. There is subtle movement under the bare rose bush, a chipmunk runs for cover.The air has the first icy grip and I hear the last leaves falling.


The small bird almost invisible...




Happy weekend!

Etsy love


Book Art via EartArt. I love it!


Since I found Etsy I have enjoyed looking through many sites, found many sellers I love and have tried here and there things as gifts or useful for ourselves. I love the abundance of individual, vintage and often handmade pieces, clothing, jewelry, pottery, one of a kind furniture or artworks.... The list is long.
Today I take you to a few of the sites I found note worthy!
Let's get started!

Who has the time?



In order by seller imotime and mbartstudios.
And these small pretty things to decorate or use at tea time...


I absolutely love this tea or coffee pot. So gorgeous and the gunmetal glaze is very beautiful!
Porcelain bottle through etsyseller PigeonToeceramics, birds via redhotpottery and tea pot from juditavill.

I love a pretty set table and these tablecloth below are handmade Russian linen. I bought a square one in blue with 8 matching napkins for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary this summer. I have it embroidered with their initials and I wish they will hopefully have still many years of use for it!


Via estsy seller tablecloths!
And speaking of pretty linen I love these pillows and small linen containers:
Via WillaSkyeHome and eNanoo!


And look at these cute, environmentally friendly lunch pouches...From TheSilverBobbin!
The following can find a home in a stylish home office!

At babableu!
Which gets me thinking towards prints and letterpress items:

Via Sycamorestreetpress.
I love birds and can hardly resist these lovely prints as well!


Littlebluebirdstudios.

Via Sooooound!
And this little key chain flew all the way from London from the lovely Melanie of fourandplenty! It will go with me on our trip to Italy!!!


Then there is jewelry, so much, I just pick a few...


Via AllThingsTinsel and Cocosgreenhouse! Aren't those etsy seller's names fun? I love what sprouts in Coco's greenhouse!
And then there is fashion! More then I can get my mind around and it takes a bit to find the things I like!
But here are some of my favorites!

From 13threads! You have such pretty pieces! J'adore!

And Prizesebastian's dresses are fabulous!


Both above via YongS.

This one fascinates me with it's sparkling color and adornment! From the talented seller RawHemline.
And last but not least furniture!


Something rough and tumble via PunctureBags.



Fun from fabulousmess!
And how about the little parade for a nursery?

Via ellynelly!
And this stool had me at hello!!!


And below will conclude my travels through Etsy:


Woodguy32 has steampunk on his mind!!!

I hope you've got inspired and find your treasures on Etsy next time you go and look!

Early summer mornings



I love the sun streaming through windows which have been covered with shades, the white gold filtered sunlight promises a day after my own heart. I love the morning sun on the brilliant dew drops on leaves and the early bird song too. An open door lets in the still cool air and a fan rattles somewhere in the house.


It has rained over night and the air is still full of evaporating mist in the trees...



My old friend is awake as well!


There is nothing lovelier than an early summer morning...except perhaps...


My new summer sandals!!! I love them! A little bling to pull me out of boring and give my outfits a tiny kick....

Happy day, darlings!

Instead of Friday flowers


Friday flowers have been done by me before, but I do love to photograph animals - birds and others, so today I share some pictures from a few days ago in my garden...









Design has picked up on this theme a while ago and I see birds and bees everywhere!
No end of this trend anywhere near! The glass decoupage trays via Bloomingdales.com, the bird cage pillow I found via Etsy seller Olive!










The finds above - you've guessed it - from Anthropologie.

And Alice In Wonderland is the latest addition to my Penguin linen bound book collection....


Break into song! The weekend is here!
