Vintage postcards

I bought these lovely mini- postcards@ a tiny shop in Haarlem. Really love these kind of cards and it's actually quite surreal that Elle & I are making our own postcards right now! So exciting ;- )

Neëst

I came across this lovely French brand, Neëst. I absolutely love the look and feel of the products. Simple and really tasteful. Would love to have an item of this brand.

Neëst

"A passion for decoration, especially for a recent trend called « Natural style of life » is at the heart of Neëst. This trend finds its inspiration in the new Japanese design which in turn was founded upon a strong Scandinavian influence. This « Natural style of life » is about enhancing everyday items by mixing vintage and contemporary objects."

Butterfly magnets

Hopefully we'll soon see these butterflies in real life, but for now, these magnets from Cavallini & co make me happy instead. 

The Herschel Supply Co.

"The story of Herschel begins in the early 1900’s, in Wick, Scotland. Peter Alexander Cormack, a barrel maker by trade, and his wife Annie packed the belongings of their small home in preparation for the long journey across the Atlantic to Canada. The government of the time was enticing families to immigrate through the homestead program. They gave these families land to farm, to support the growth of the country. The land that Peter and Annie were given saw them settle in the beautiful rolling hills outside of the town of Herschel, whose population today is counted at 30 residents.

Over a century after that move, Peter and Annie’s great grandchildren remain in the business of manufacturing. Instead of barrels, backpacks and bags are now created.

Herschel Supply Co. was started with the goal of bringing well-designed quality built product to market. Inspiration is drawn from vintage mountaineering, American heritage, world travel and fashion. Herschel reinvents these products with modern shapes, fits and feels, with fine regard for detail. Our product endeavors to compliment the consumer's passion for individuality and personal style in a new way. Herschel is about our past, present and future. We are creating an environment that supports the new generation of fashion forward individuals." http://www.herschelsupply.com/

I simply love these kind of stories and the colours of the bags are really wonderfull!

Daydream material

In 2011 I bought this picture on a market and I always wonder, who was this man, who took this picture and where was the picture taken? A wonderful object for a daydream on this rainy afternoon... I always imagine that this picture was taken in Italy and that it was during a date. She took this photo secretly to have a souvenir of their encounter. She had been in love with him for quite a while but didn't dare to tell him. And now he asked her to join him for a fishing trip... This is the romantic version I love;-)

Surreal

Am scrolling a bit through my old pictures and rediscovered this one from my visit to Maroc... 

Nostalgia

Bonjour! It's been a hectic week and I'm really glad to get some rest during Easter. Hallelujah ;-) For today I just wanted to post two pics because I just keep thinking of France this week. I used to have lovely times in Normandy & Bretagne and perhaps it's time to go back for just a weekend or so. Good news concerning the Coeur Blonde newspaper-> we're really making progress now! Very glad with D's Photoshop skills;-) Enjoy your Easter holiday!
