Monday Love: DIY-shopping bag

 

Are you looking for a cute last minute present idea? This bag can be ready in an afternoon of crafty fun. We took a vintage photo of my friends mum, printed it on a sheet lazertran and ironed it onto a plain white linen bag. The photo was then embellished by hand with buttons and ribbon, to match the pictures nostalgic appeal. This bag is a handy companion, because it can be kept folded in your handbag and taken out for that extra bit of shopping you have to do sometimes. Breadrolls for sunday breakfast look very good in it as well as fresh veggies and flowers from the farmers market!

Have a spelndid start to your week!

Friday Pretties: Some art vitamins

Let Yourself Be Silently Drawn By the Stronger Pull Of That Which You Really Love.

Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Some small canvases i've worked on, using bits of vintage paper i'd stored in my drawer, and pages of an old book by french writer Colette.

Happy weekend dear ones! I can't believe how another week has just flewn by - time seems to be faster than me! At the moment i feel like time is a horse, and i don't really manage to ride it, but it gallops away with me - there, boom, friday again! Nevertheless of course, weekend is more than welcome and i can't wait to stop by at your places and have some tea!

Add some love to your home!

With redecorated vintage plates, wooden map-hearts, a pretty typographic artwork or just simply a cute card. One can never have enough love. Or show enough love. So, especially in cold but lovely february, let's keep our hearts warm and happy by just being a little more loving every day!
