I couldn't find anything for today.... so I'm showing you a glimpse of
my tea towel project and another glimpse
I tried out some cottons but linen turned out to be the best choice.
I've finished one...two more to go
Oh and Frank does love the looks of the oven mitt too
(to avoid any misconceptions on that)
Picture I took in the kitchen (no daylight) to show you our oven mitt
by iittala , it's brown with blue stitching.
I really love the design but Frank finds it to be not very practical.....
Something I hope is both practical and beautiful at the same time
is this portable 4 GB hard drive by Michael Leung called Stone
It's still a prototype , made of synthetic resin
Have to talk to swissmiss about this....a lot more boys watch her blog
My guess is that it would sell very well
I saw this ring on Tessa's blog , this is just one of a series of 4 called sketchRings
Tessa send me some pictures so this image is totally with permission as
Debra would call it.They're made of silver but she treats it like clay
I would love to see how that works...
...and talking about sketches
Love these by Konstantin Grcic for chair 1,
probably a picture from this book
Interior pictures from a shop called : EFFE in Italy
Love the colors in this setting and those sheets.... mm mmm
Love these windows......via Sveta Drescher
And Abby is a lucky girl [ by visionaire publishers]
Salad servers by Konstantin Grcic via DesignAddict
....and I would love to visit the new museum for contempory art in New York.
It doesn't open until December 1st so there's enough time to find me a big ocean steamer to take me there....
(just googled that, it's a no go)
I'm going to try to sew a straight line....see you next week
It's always nice to visit a shop which makes you feel good
even if it's just on the web...
serie a store in Munich
I'm really curious about those little things behind the glass
Remember the photogram tablecloth by Maurice Scheltens [under projects]
This is a similar project but here real shadows would
bring more subtlety to it
by Sandra Bautista
And I'm Cruststation's blog of the week :)
I find these very cool...
found them at a new to me French online store
called La Corbeille Editions.
Thanks to Jen and Maditi I saw this beautiful project by Kirsty Hall
called The Diary Project
Nice coincidence because I received my package from Irina yesterday
which was very exciting , I tried to capture that experience in pictures....see it here

Summer has finally arrived in Amsterdam at least until Monday...
so we are going to make a fruit cake and lay in the garden...
Wishing you something equally enjoyable .

I just love her work so much.....
I don't have a favorite house just favorite spaces
and elements that have to be in it like sliding doors,
beautiful ceramics like these and lights like these....
Generally a large space where you not only live but can create things too
A place that is never finished because that gives me a sense of freedom.
That's my dream for the coming years....
Oh and Irina has received my package and I'm like a little girl, waiting
for Santa Claus ...
