This is the beautiful home of Nadine from herz-allerliebst. Nadine recently purchased an Egyptian pendant from Le Souk and she was kind enough to send me a photo of the lamp in her home.

Nadine has a beautiful home, very warm and cosy and the copper pendant really fits in her interior. Thank you Nadine for sending me photos!

collette bream’s etsy shop

I love every item in Colette Bream’s Etsy shop! The Mattress Pad (top image) can be used on the bed or on the floor as a play met. The famous, high quality cotton fabric from Liberty of London has been used for this product. Liberty style is characterized by tender palettes, attractive flowers, and detailed movement.

And what about those star shaped cushions with a cotton raw edge! These look gorgeous in a nursery or kids room and are perfect for sweet little naps.

Other favorites of mine are the house shaped pillow made from lambswool and the cloud shaped pillow which is also made from lambswool.

I see a lot of pretty pastel colors for the coming spring / summer season. I am not too fond of soft pink and mint green but I do like these beautiful purple and blue hues.

Danish company Tine K has a lot of soft purple and blue in their summer 2012 collection. These colors combined with white and beige create a clean and fresh yet warm look.

First of all I want to thank you all for the very sweet comments and email. This truly means a lot to me! Your encouraging words do help me and it is heartwarming to know that I have that many friends around the world. Although I am still very sad, I am trying to pick up my daily routine.

Today’s post shows a beautiful interior with the Love is the New Black print from Swedish designer Theresa Sennerholt. You can find more photos of this home in Stockholm, which is for rent, here (via Emmas Designblogg). Have a great Sunday!

sad news to share

Dear readers, you might have noticed my absence last week. There is a very sad reason for this. My mother, who has been ill since last year, passed away last Wednesday. We knew that this day would come but it is still very hard to cope with. Thank you to all of you who have supported me with comments and personal email over the past months. This is very much appreciated.

Although I am having a hard time right now and my heart is filled with grief, I will try to continue blogging on a daily basis as usual.

Love, Danielle
