My daughters love to go to the petting zoo, not only for the animals. But also for all the feathers you can find there. The down feathers from the parrot in the pet shop also end up in there pockets.             Lola & Kate                                                                                     et aussi ...   A couple of months ago I treated myself to framed feathers. Unfortunately not the very pretty ones from Lola & Kate with the steel frames, there a bit to much for my budget. But a lovely black wooden frame with 5 golden pheasant feathers. To my surprise a few weeks later I found exactly the same frame at a local store, so I made myself another frame with some of the feathers my daughters collected. My frame with found feathers only costs a fraction of what I payed for the pheasant version. Plus our chicken, turkey and parrot feathers are in no way inferior to the more exotic varieties. To be honest ... I like ours better. Hav

Now the blue's have gone, it's time for a little bit of red.  In the extensive colour possibilities in my shop red of course isn't lacking. I do have to admit, red isn't one of my favorite colours and I always found it hard to incorporate it in to my house. By using red subtle or by making one red statement, you can use red without it be dominant.             red pendants                                                                                     red cross             red bed                                                                                             red stairs Still, you can make the most beautiful colour combinations with red, without sticking to black, white and grey. I especially love the combination with turquoise and jade.             morroccan tiles                                                                                 red leaves, jade door Because it's almost Valentine's day I'm going to continu

Every year the garden centre's and flowershops advertise: 'out with the tree, in with a plant' (or at least in Holland they do). I couldn't agree more, I also miss the green. But what I miss even more, especially now the days are still short and bleak, are the lights from the tree. Of course, you can always hang your christmas lights on the wall or the ceiling. It saves cleaning them up.             style me pretty                                                                                pinterest But why not make a big statement this year? Out with the tree, in with a lamp! A nice new (or old) lamp where the tree used to stand. Or even next to your new plant. I have made a list of some of my favourites.
