Do You See What I See

More Ghost Furniture pieces and what inspired me to create them. These are not on the site yet as we are waiting for a long sunny day to photograph them - keep everything crossed for me.

A wine table in those gorgeous blushing grape colours.

A piece of shattered silk I nearly bought via Tara of Paris Parfait. It inspired me to create a chair using shattered silk from a Victorian skirt. Thanks Tara

Caviar and Oysters - a girl's gotta dream.

A Venetian carnival mask becomes a chair.

Fried Green Tomatoes, inside green outside crisp and dark gold.

Terracotta Like You've Not Seen for Ages

You just know when you look at these fabulous terracotta items that they are going to be French. You see this sort of stuff in old charcuterie all over France and find that they were made eons ago. I am thrilled I found these as I want them some of them for my new kitchen.
All hand made and fired at 1000 degrees in a ceramic oven then hand painted. From Guenilee Courcoux

The Stuff You Can Knit

Things have come a long way since I was a knitwear designer in the 80s. It seems you can knit anything nowadays. I just wish I could knit an extension for my cottage then I wouldn't have to have another meeting with a builder.
All found at The British Hand Knitting Association

Sassy Paper Ladies

Something to help start your weekend with a smile. Papier mache by Inge Bruss of Germany. Now who said the Germans have no sense of humour?

Garden Banners from France

I really love this idea. D Garden Collection in France does some fabulous banners for people like me who can kill a plant by just looking at it. A great way to decorate a big plain garden wall or separate an area. I could hide my wheelie bins behind some of these.

An Ornamental Inheritance

Beautiful ceramics beautifully photographed - Ornamental Inheritance from Jo Meesters

A Different Sort of Bouquet

Different bouquets but I'm not sure they will catch on though there would be somewhere to put your lippy. From Hatch Creative Studio

Simple Solution

When we had our offices and warehouse and two homes I used to be like a jailer and would have to mark my keys with colours so I knew which was which. 2 years later and I find this and only have one set of keys to worry about. Oh well.

Up Market Felt Work

I've seen a lot of fabulous felt work around but never anything as fabulous as these. Whatever next I ask?

Organon 9 Worlds

Don't be shocked when you go to this site, the screen suddenly shrinks to fit but travel around it and you will find some beautiful pieces of jewelry.
Organon 9 Worlds (whatever that means)

A Great Way To Show Off a Carpet

There's nothing special about the carpets shown here but there is something special about the way they have been photographed.
From Stepevi

Quirky and Innovative

Twentytwentyone has a fantastic range of products, everything just that bit different. I particularly like the idea of a portable campfire, the relief interior of the big lamp, the simplicity of the wooden clothes hooks and the piggy bank without a head.

Lara Grace Seasons

SPRING
I love these gorgeous depictions of Spring, Summer and Autumn on the Lara Grace site. Lara Grace do a fabulous range of fabrics and has some beautiful photography.

SUMMER

AUTUMN
