In my suitcase...from England
Here are the few things are brought back from my trip to the UK:
1. Porcelain bird from a car boot sale in Bath. I thought he would be perfect in the studio.
2. Second hand Laura Ashley shirt made at the time where they still had their garments manufactured in the UK.
3. Nail varnishes from BOOTS brand N.7 - I just loved those colors…
4. Three metal bracelet, found in a car boot sale in...
* Monday's coup de coeur *
This week my coup de coeur goes to the beautiful alpaca camelids.
Although alpacas are originally from south america, it is not that uncommon to now spot them on European hills. Following my few days in London I headed to Bath and visited the Alpacas Valley farm near by.

Their blog is also beautiful!

She thought that I would appreciate their collars - Aren’t they just wonderful?!
Merci Zini!

Last week I discovered the work of Nanna Van Blaaderen - she does wonders with wool and I love her big knit pieces.
Discovering Nanna’s work inspired me to start a ‘Monday’s coup de coeur’ post where I will share something special every monday…so we can start the week on an inspiring note : )

Wool
I think it is now safe to start talking about wool (one of my favorite thing in the world!) as here in Belgium we are already getting our jumpers out…not much of an Indian summer…in fact, not much of a summer at all…
Back home in the Pyrenees, during my summer holidays, I have been loving taking pictures of those sheep with their blue dots on their backs thinking of how...
