Hello Lovelies!

(image found here)

Today I'm happy to say my computer is back to working perfectly!

While I add pics to previous posts, i highly recomment that you browse the 766 (!) photos of gorgeous interiors of indierocket on Flickr. Lots of beautiful homes, and chalkboards galore!

Have a nice day!

Tea (and bugs) with the Caravan

hello Lovelies!

I found out about the great store, online or not, named "Caravan", through the clever Victoria and her sfgirlbybay blog.

Here are a few of its tea-related items. Beautiful and sweet, aren't they?

Now, they hold something that is NOT for the weak-hearted, but that with my love for bugs I really want, is a set of bugs magnets for the fridge! Hooray!

Tea with Neville Trickett

TEA_ContactSheet_010

*One* man I'd love to have a long, good conversation with a tea cup in hand is called Neville Trickett. He comes all the way from South Africa, I live in Southern France, but we share a similar love for art, anything wunderkammer and strange, and diptychs, to name a few. Victoria from sfgirlbybay had been lucky enough to exchange a few words with him as an "unexpected guest". Check out the interview and the images!

Neville has a great blog named Saint Verde (I wish I knew why) and an outstanding flickr stream, with a love for textiles, all categorized per period and style!

PS: Wait a minute! Just as i am praising the Saint Verde Digest blog, Neville is talking about stopping it and starting a new project online. I'm sitting at the edge of my chair....

Hello lovelies!

TEA_margarita3773153769_dfe88541b5_o

This is the lovely house of Margarita from the Chocolate Creative blog

TEA_3773191305_97bc867b46_o

I love the use she makes of teapots and teacups as part of the decor.

Her inspiration :
"Well I look for inspiration in traditional craft, embroidery, stitching, old linens, vintage textiles, art, museums, (V&A in London), design, interiors, old objects that has got a story to tell, places I visit. My most recent travel was to Brazil, I fell for the country, the people, the music, the landscape, etc…"

enjoy!

Tea with Betsy Walton

Besty Walton

Amy Ruppel says: "Another now local artist I love is Betsy Walton. What’s not to love about a sweet gal from Kansas? She is also a creator of her own imaginative environments, but out of doors and in harmony with nature. Wisps of smoke and leaves, feathers and ghosts of homes, dresses and folks. You can stare at one of her works for a long time, look away, then look back and see something new. Her work is also featured on a Third Drawer Down tea towel, entitled "Dandelion Tea" that I must get my hands on. See it all on Betsy’s beautiful web site, morningcraft.com, and her Etsy shop, full of her gorgeous prints."

I found out about Betsy Walton's artwork through the famous sfgirlbybay blog, since Victoria had a wonderful "Swimming" print by Betsy hung above her home office desk (see above photo by super-talented Angie Cao). Now I have three love reunited in this teatowel : Betsy's work, tea, and a dandelion. What's not to love???!

enjoy!
