Radko


just discovered at Homegoods and also available from Christopher Radko's and Macy's websites.
love their somewhat dated colour combination and the reflectors (aren't you suddenly back to the seventies?)

with a little help from my Xyron

Okay the name sounds like a pseudo cool mini car.... and is less ear pleasing than its PC equivalent (the Silhouette) but my Xyron is a mighty tool. If you're a little computer savy that is... Here is what I've been starting working on lately. The end product should be a snail mail home made card. No risk of ruining the surprise though...except from Réré, my dear partner in crime, no one who will receive it knows about this blog! And I must say I quite like this undercover feel! Theme : the move, our next destination (the NL!!!!), a new home, a new address... Paper : Anna Griffin


(le déménagement approche! les recherches sur le thème 'nouveau chez soi/nouvelle adresse' ont débuté!!! Grâce à ma Xyron (l'équivalent de la Sihouette, plus connue) et quelques notions utiles d'Illustrator)

what do you call a small house?


A baby house -and it's a boy.... Also : finished repainting the chair...the exact robin egg colour I couldn't exactly find turned into a pale lilac....

SNÖVITA


... i.e. the word I remember from my last IKEA visit.
I'lll probably paint them and/or incorporate them to a Xmasy/foresty/wintery scene. (A good concept can always be adapted.)
Also liked the mini thick felt wreath and cones.

(Merci IKEA pour ces silhouettes qui ne demandent qu'à être peintes ou insérées dans une ambiance Noël/forêt/hiver.)

Corners of home (4)






Past weekend rhymed with heavy sawing. Reusing tree triming. Totally inspired from the bulbs Anthro used to carry.
I agree. Seriously copying....but the 2 bulbs only cost us a mere $8....
The leftover made cute votive holders (couldn't help grinning this morning when I got Marie-Claire Maison newsletter and saw these - and their price!!!!)


(du copitage en règle pour les ampoules qu'on avait vu chez Anthro -avec le pied carré- et une surprise marrante qd justement ce matin, Marie-Claire Maison me montre justement ces bougeoirs!!!)
