Wunderkammer Art
Hello Lovelies!
I wanted to tell you about my own vision of Wunderkammer Art, what Leah at ApartmentTherapy calles "decorating with biology charts" (see below for link), but my computer is down and I'm writing to you guys from a cyber-café... So here goes a couple of interesting links on the subject... My own vision will have to wait.
ApartmentTherapy says:
"Inspired by Leah's recent post about decorating with biology charts, we wanted to share with you our own favorite source for old botanical and natural history prints, Panteek. Their selection is vast, with everything from eighteenth-century parrot prints to woodblock Japanese tree scenes..."
I love Panteek, I love Deyrolle! I love bugs and wunderkammer art!
Here a re a few examples : to be coming soon...

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!
enjoy!

My Apologies to John Hopper
Hello,
(image from The textile blog, via Apartment Therapy)
I've been blogging about Neville Tricket lately and somehow mixed him up with another wonderful man, called John Hopper.
How did that happen? Well, they both share a great love for art for instance, they have both wonderful Flickr photostreams, BUT John Hopper is the one with a strong love for textiles and a very organized blog and photostream about the subject.
The man is good, believe me, and he's been mentioned on Apartment Therapy, right here.
Here is where you can find him (apart from Cornwall, in the UK - Neville lives in Durban, South Africa):
Flickr : dis-ordered
Blog : The Textile blog
And again, my apologies!

Funny Things Happen
Hello,
A Dresser with Framed Insects (photo source unknown).
Just when i was thinking of the new "bug decor" category, on September the 4th, sfgirlbybay and d*s, two of my fave blogs (they're daily reads, actually) happen to mention bugs the exact same day!
First, let me mention the guest post by Amy Azzarito at d*s: she was talking about Wedgewood porcelain, but i happened to spot the beautiful butterflies in the cabinet! Have a look:
Second, there was Victoria mentioning "weird science" on an pretty amazing Etsy shop. Ditto!
Enjoy!

It's Time to Decorate with Bugs!
Hello Lovelies, it's me again!
I've been thinking lately, especially after featuring here yesterday this amazing apartment found on ApartmentTherapy...
Fact 1: I love home decor... obviously!
Fact 2: I love bugs, yes, insects. I draw them. Butterflies, dragonflies, scarabs, you name it! They're beautiful!
So why not decorate with bugs?! I think this new category will be dedicated to:
1: My bug art. So I'll share my love with you.
2. Examples of beautiful homes decorated with insects (be it fabric pattern, real insects dried and framed, pâintings and drawings, etc...). I'll do my best to give due credit to each home owner of course!
3: Photos of bugs decorating my own home.
See you, butterflies!

A House Tour Not to Be Missed!
I really love these vignettes from Tara's and Ari's home, seen at ATNY. I love the bugs collection. It adds a nice touch to a modernist interior.
Enjoy!
