Absence Makes The Neck Ache

You may or may not have missed me these past two days but I have been busy. You see the Press like cut outs of products as it means they can be placed on a page with ease. So I have cut out God knows how many images from my Ghost Furniture range and now my neck is aching through sitting at the computer for 2 solid days. Now its done I am off to the pub. Happy August Bank Holiday to all those who celebrate it. I'm certainly going to.

Rigby and Peller Platinum Retro

Gorgeous new retro pieces by Rigby and Peller, bra makers to The Queen. Don't know whether I could see The Queen in them though.

Not What It Seems - Constantin and Laurene Boym

These stunningly crafted pieces by Constantin and Laurene Boym are not what they seem. Made up from what they only tell us is Mixed Media they are not useful but they are very beautiful .
All are available at Wright21. You will need a Platinum Card though.

Clever Idea For a Narrow Kitchen

One of those times when it works to accentuate a fault. By using a tall image, with a white background, on a black wall at the far end of this narrow kitchen it WORKS!

Little Byrd Vintage at Etsy

Just some of my choices from Little Byrd Vintage at Etsy. Simple products beautifully styled and photographed.

Five From The Ground

If you do nothing else today then go to Five From The Ground. I think it is Japanese and it has a wonderful blog and another website called Good Morrow. There is some English on their sites but the most important thing is that they display their products in a typically simple way and everything is beautiful. Just take a look and enjoy.

Stay In France With Appley Hoare

Most people will have heard of Appley Hoare, the amazing French Antiques Shop online, now based in the South of France. What I for one did not know was that they now have a house - La Bastide to rent in the Gard region there. Prices start at 2,500 Euros for a week for 3 families, which isn't too bad at all and it's full of their fabulous antiques.

Pinterest By Paris Hotel Boutique

Lynn Goldfinger Abram of Paris Hotel Boutique and has the most amazing collections over at Pinterest. She has 24 Pinboards and each and every one is full to the gunnels with inspirational images.
I started a couple of Pin Boards over there but am nowhere near her standard. Keep it up Lynn I love it.

For Retro Birds Only

I love these Vintage Camper Bird Houses I found on Etsy by Strictly for the Birds

Inspiration Overload at Boutique Sophie

It is a growing trend to have a page of Inspirations on your website. People love it and I know because my Inspirations Page at Ghost Furniture is looked at by almost everyone who visits the site.
The other day I visited Butik Sophie and her Inspirations Page is HUGE. Instead of listening to me go and visit - Inspiration Overload for each and every one of you.
