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).

see you

Poppy

Can you fall in love with a dress???

Look at this totally cute red dress from Poppy. The perfect tea party dress, very 1950's.  I saw this dress in the whitingpost window,they also got a blue one  & it wasn't too expensive.

see you

Travel on Paper

 

It's not easy to find vintage travelposters, so I was delighted that Travel on Paper had a pop-up shop in Whitstable Harbourstreet this weekend. We really liked the Berlin poster.

Our time in the Uk went so fast this time, next time we will stay two weeks again... so I can spent more time with my friends.

hope you missed me

Hella Jongerius

On friday afternoon we went to Ikea looking for some

new curtains. I promised myself  not to buy

any kind of nic nac .

Guess you all know the vase collection 'Jonsberg'

by Hella Jongerius. I don't go to Ikea very often

but in the last years this vase was always sold out.

silly thursday

Next week we are going home to Kent, just thinking about it makes me feel good. I wonder what kind of christmas tins Marks&Spencer will bring out this year? And Halloween,will my local supermarket in Whitstable stock toffee apples? Will there be time to see all my friends? and and..... silly me!!


This is for Steve Jobs "Think Different" & rest in peace.

stool

When I saw this cute little stool  in  a magazine, I had to get one. I don't really need a stool but I just liked the design and the look... Not sure what I will do with it, lol.
