…that I am the proud owner of two of her gorgeous raku creations. When she wasn’t looking, I snuck in the store and bought them. I have kept it secret all this time (a whole week) to surprise her with this special post. These dear pieces now sit on my kitchen window sill, enhancing my every day…

…a little gift for a faraway friend which sits on my dining table. Wrapped in some lovely paper I bought in Amsterdam many moons ago, a little butterfly tag from Royal Buffet, some Japanese tape given to me from a friend who just came back from Japan, and a strip of velvet ribbon I bought at the Noordermarkt (remember the ribbon girls?).

I’m sleepy. It’s bed time. I’m hoping for sweet dreams tonight.

Bonne nuit!

Not only did elle interiør include my book in this month’s issue, but also on their gorgeous blog! Thank you thank you elle interiør – I am super honoured to be included in such a cool mag, and I’m super glad you like my little (blog)house. Please come back often – there are always plenty of choc chip cookies to go ’round.

It’s a rainy Sunday here in Amsterdam. I’m working hard in le petit bateau, getting my notes and ideas organised for the upcoming week, but I wanted to pop my head into the (blog)house to give you this little message above. I hope it might enhance your day. Enjoy the rest of your weekend mes chers amis.
