A glimpse from our weekend styling

We have recently received the most beautiful linen collection… The kind of washed linen I have been searching for a while and finally found during my last trip to France… At the moment, François and I are going through the process of styling and shooting everything for the Summer brochure but I really wish I had a shop to show you everything… Everything is so stunning, soft and tactile and I’m totally in love with the hues of dark grey, sky grey, blue-grey and vintage pink we’ve received. Here is a glimpse of the kids’ linen apron in sky grey behind the handmade doll Pigmée…but there will be gorgeous aprons for adults too, linen scarves and bed linens for everybody. Be prepared to have your bedrooms moving onto the next level of gorgeousness :-)

I’m so excited by our new collection and I really can’t wait to show you the rest of what we have coming for this summer. I think the BAU pendant light below is stunning and although the Familia mugs are not new, I’ve always loved their organic shape. During my last trip to France, I finally found THE collection of gorgeous and soft bed linens in washed linen I have been looking for years and also some beautiful bed linens with stars for children…just magical! We’re planning to shoot them in 2 weeks once we have received some stock and samples. When it comes to styling, I have to say, I’m hugely enjoying the creative process. I still have a lot to learn to become a great stylist. I’m….(for the time being)….pathetically slow and thanks god, I’m not paid by the hour to do this but I’m having a ball. The only thing is that now I have to undo each shot each …
