Cherry Ripe

Images from my favourite article in the latest edition of Marie Claire Idees - Le temps des cerises. Delicious!

Dreaming....

......that I have a spare £1800 for this quilt by Lulu Guinness.

A little stitch

These exquisite cards are hand made by English designer Elena Deshmukh, and are perfect for displaying in a frame, on a pin board or mantelpiece (and very hard to part with!).  Vintage bird engravings, delicate butterflies and softly coloured florals all embellished with embroidery form Elena's range, which is available from retailers throughout the UK, including Liberty of London. These two lovelies have a permanent place on my inspiration board!

These beautiful images come from Elena's website - take a look at the gorgeous colour palettes and styling.

Kim Parker 'Amelie' Rug

I think (?) this may be the same rug pictured in the photo from Inside Out magazine below - 'Amelie' designed by Kim Parker for The Rug Company.

Nature's paintbox

I love the latest 'Inside Out' Annual Decorating and Renovating guide. The vintage floral theme is simply beautiful.

How lovely is that rug?

Papier Mache magazine

Wow - another great online magazine featuring kid's design! Papier Mache is produced in Sydney twice a year, you can view the very first edition here.

Barking mad

A cheery yellow colour palette and some friendly Scottie dogs feature on this whimsical wallpaper design 'Barking Mad' from Anthropologie.

Carte postale

French illustrator Aurelie Guillerey delivers the design goodness yet again - I purchased these post cards from Readings on the weekend. I love her vintage children's book illustration style!

Fly away

Another exotic bird fabric - this lovely design 'Percale Paradisiers' comes from one of my favourite fabric shops in Paris, Charles Burger.

Hot pink

Beautiful photography with a splash of hot pink by Debi Treloar.
