Jeanne d'Arc Style

Anyone familiar with Jeanne d'Arc and love their 

Vintage Look & Flea Market Finds ?

We do.

Jeanne d'Arc was born in 2004 by Lonnie Wurtz and Vivian Christensen.

In 2009 came the magazine

Jeanne d'Arc Living.

Originally written for Danish readers, this magazine

was all about French & Nordic Style, which we adore.

The magazine is now available in several languages.

We are soon to stock some of the magazines.

Please let us know if you are interested as copies will be limited.

We will be stocking some of the home accessories.

For those who love to sew are these beautiful

embroidered letters have been sewn onto an aged piece of paper

and can be transferred onto a cushion cover, pillowslip anything that you

want to personalise.

This lovely Iron Window Frieze

is perfect to finish a window like below

without blocking any light.

How different is this look.

We love them.

They come in a couple of sizes and styles.

All the home accessories and furniture has a wonderful relaxed

style about it.

The furniture mostly white and grey

is made from Mango Wood.

Made from reclaimed window shutters, these

room dividers have been painted white,

have a wonderful patina, come in various sizes according to the shutters used to make them

and are such a lovely addition to a vintage home.

Well my appetite has been wetted.

And looking at these lovely things have inspired me to get out my paint brush again.

Spring is truly in the air, blossom is out.

Spring cleans and re-paints is on my list.

Have a lovely week.

Bye for now.

Spring For A Day

I swear that when I went into the garden yesterday morning some of my herbaceous plants in pots

were just about pocking through the soil.

With a little watering and sunshine 

 when I went back to look at them later in the afternoon they had grown 

an inch !!!

How good does a little sunshine on your head feel.

It seems to have been such a long winter.

I put out my garden chairs.

Had to throw a couple of my favourite

Cabbages & Roses Hatley Cushions

on the chairs, just checking that they go together well !

Then sat with a cup of tea

and just mulled over

in my mind all the plants I plan

to buy.

As I am sure I have lost quite a few again this winter.

Well just a very quick post today.

Finger's and toe's crossed we may have some

very exciting news next week.

Cannot say what, but here is a little clue.

Bye for now.

Have a good weekend.

Easter Fair In Sidcup

I cannot believe it is Easter already.

Our heads are in a spin.

Do you  ever get that feeling of just 

Where Do I Start...

This Friday and Saturday we are attending a French Market

in Sidcup Kent

10 till 3pm.

They are trying to rejuvenate the sad looking high street.

With shops closing and nothing

opening things are beginning

to look desperate.

But on a good note...

 We had a delivery from Denmark

this week.

The long awaited candlesticks finally arrived.

We love them.

The finish is matt and is the palest of Greys

with an aged look to the paintwork.

Two styles.

The Medium is about 27 cm.

The Taller one is about 36 cm and just a little more ornate,

which you may not spot straight away !

We also have some little Metal Herb Pots with Chalk

Board Heart.

But they can be used for anything you want 

to keep together.

Line them with grease proof paper

and fill with Chips !

Write on a name and create a very rustic

table setting.

Maybe give all the kids their own personalised

pot and fill with sweets or crayons. 

The Crates are also now available.
In four sizes.

This weekend we aim to get all the new stock

into the shop.

And during the next couple of weeks will have

lots more goodies arriving from

all around the world.

Have a lovely

Easter Holiday.

Love from

GARDENALIA INSPIRATIONS

 Thursday this week was a gorgeous bright sunny day.

It was so good to get out and in the garden for a good

tidying up.

The image below is from a lovely book of 

Gardenalia.

By Country Living.

This is another one of my picture books.

Great to pick up from the coffee table and get enthused a little.

Old garden tools are special.

Very old ones too valuable to use.

But great for displaying and adding interest.

I am not really  formal gardener.

I like random, messy maybe, eclectic style.

Even though I have my nice set of garden furniture,

it is little collections of odd bits that interest me most.

And bunting, oh yes, nothing like a bit of bunting to

add cheer to a garden tea party.

Back entrances, that sounds a bit odd ! ? anyway
with big pots and tables with 

little pots.

I love.

I like a little order sometimes, like this neat  row of

containers, full of perennials.

An old staircase has come in handy

for rows of Hyacinths.

Pink is not a favourite of mine.

But they look and probably smell divine.
Pink and yellow makes me feel weird.
Do they go together ?

Not for me.

This table looks interesting.

Looks like it is made up from odd pieces of wood.

I love my trees.
I always plant trees when I move into a new home.

I would much rather sit under a tree with a gentle breeze,
and enjoy my lunch or afternoon tea,

better than sitting under a hot parasol.

Do you find they make you hot ?

Must be to do with the colour.

Now I really do love this image.

The colours are light and fresh.

Now this old London Stock brick wall is 

lovely.

I would love a walled garden in these bricks but it would 

cost a fortune.

The hot pink Geranium is pretty in its hanging pot.

I do have a few benches that I have collected over

the years, old and rusty they may be, but I still dot them around my own garden.

Old cushions beckon for us to

have a little sit and ponder on

all the things we ought to be doing.

This is the lovely book that I have featured

in this post.

I wonder if you are getting in the mood for spot of gardening yet.

Or have you been hard at it already?

Lets hope that we get a good summer this year.

We really should do as we have had a hard winter.

Bye for now.

A Source Of Inspiration

Travelling home from my last trip to Norway,

we were at Oslo airport and much a my great delight

I spotted one of my best loved home interiors magazines.

No adverts just beautiful images to inspire.

Jeanne d"Arc Living

Unfortunately it is not the English version.

But nonetheless is

staying on my book shelve.

Hopefully I will be able to

subscribe.

I was told that Camel & Yuk in Reigate were closing 

and this was where I did hope to get it from.

Sheer romance.

Peeling charm.

Bygone days.

Little stashes.

Little places.

Whether vintage looking pieces or

the genuine article we can still

treasure.

 Find new uses for.

Love Ferns !

Bring it all together.

A make a home that is unique and all about you and 

what you love.

These little old keys 

find a perfect new use.

Or even just to decorate.

Painted floors.

Old suitcases.

Potting trays.

Shelves with our little vignettes.

Intrigue our guests.

Some will laugh.

But most will feel at home with your

random sense of style.

We do love sets.

Dinner sets for example.

But we love odd bits more I think.

It takes away that fear of one piece breaking !

as then, that set no more, makes you sad.

Modern and Vintage.

Mix it all up.

All the colours mingle.

Pale and fading.

Bright and clean.

Ever changing.

Never boring.

When I get a quiet moment in the late afternoon,

I love to flick through all my books of inspiration.

It gives me the much needed kick I sometimes need to get

going with a new project.

Even to finish an old already started project would be a good idea !

So I leave it here.

With these beautiful flowers.

To cheer us on a dull Saturday afternoon.

And look forward to spring and some time in the garden.

Simply does it.
