coat rack



I did have the idea to change my hall  for some time now. Finally last  weekend we bought this vintage coat rack. I'm very happy with it.

I also got some wall paint  'jasmine leaf'. Now you know what I will be doing next weekend.

see you

Vintage Bird




At the moment we are still living in a home without 'wallpaper' but I really want to change that. When I was a kid my parents let me choose my own wallpaper for my room and I tell you I did have a very different (weird) taste in those days, lol.

In the last two years I have seen some fantastic wallpaper in shops, magazines and blogs. Vintage Bird in Hastings has a great collecting and they also do mailorder.

Now I wonder do you have wallpaper in your home ?? And if yes, what kind of ?

ps:
- I just love Downtown Abbey  (would be a cool Christmas gift)
- Love, love the dark owls from Anne Wood

the new Marks & Spencer Christmas tins





The Marks & Spencer design team did it again.

I was so curious what kind of Christmas cookie tins they will bring out in 2011. After I missed the Sanna Anukka tins last Christmas I made sure I went there in time this year. Mister kay was thinking I was mad  buying 6 tins in one go! I call them Antiques of the future but they also make fabulous Christmas gifts.

My favourite is the woodland tin (I just love foxes). That one is designed by Isak.

The bus is also great. I love the vintage look. It reminds me of mister Sasek's work.

Lap partners made the telephone booth tin.

Which one is your favourite???

Halloween weekend



Trick-or-treating... happy halloween weekend. You love it or you hate it. We saw these Holeween pictures in Hastings last week.

We where in Dover last weekend.  It's great fun to go to Dover Castel around Halloween time.

Martha Stewart always has some great Pumpkin carving and Halloween decorating ideas.
We still have to do some carving this weekend, I'm sure Mister Kay will be very good in that.

Have a good weekend.
I wonder what are you doing.

Bells Bicyles


Meggs store Bells Bicycles in Hastings is different.
It is very pretty, full of vintage, cool chandeliere, carpet and art
(that sounds more like my home than like a bicyle store, lol)

I have been looking for a new bicycle for a while now...
guess I would love a 70's chopper.

Our music at the moment is the new cd 
Metals from Feist (Nila's fav)
and  the new one from Bon Iver (my fav).
