TGIF

"Has the weekend arrived?"

Leather

And then suddenly I had a thing about leather........

Don't worry I'm not going to buy myself a leather pants :)

But I did buy this pillow from Mensch Made and a new leather shoulderbag.

Winter Walk II

Winter Walk I

Yesterday we have been enjoying a day off from work.

We went to a nearby nature reserve for a long walk.

Simple Beauty

Happy New Year

Weathered wood

Last time we were on the beach I photographed some wooden beach poles.

I've always had a soft spot for old, worn, weathered and sun bleached wood.

Easter breakfast

Here is a detail of my Easter breakfast.
The felt hare keeps my egg warm.

You must be thinking I started the day with a Bloody Mary :-)

The second day was missing an egg!

Houses

Two of my other houses.

Portemanteau

I bought this for our visitors to hang their coats.

We have a built-in wardrobe for our own coats, bags, shoes and scarves.

This portemanteau (coat rack) is designed by Marina Bautier in 2006.

Made of solid oak and you can order it online.
Check out my skôn blog for this.

Whale Burp

This is a wonderful beach find! I love it!!!
It's a so called Whale Burp.

A bramble of beach grasses, twigs and seaweed tossed and rolled together close to shore during storms.
I have to handle it with care because it's very fragile.

Yesterday is gone

Only six weeks ago

Keys

Tired of my husband asking me where his keys were, I bought this :-) 

This oak wood keyholder is designed by Tomke Biallas and Grisella Kreiterling.

Not just beautiful but also very practical!

Buy it online by Selekkt

Recycling design

These recycled sail cushions are made by Reiter 8

I bought those in her Etsy shop .

Gardening again!

The weather is getting better now.
Preparing for springtime.
