This was the spark

That lead me to this... I think it might just be my version of heaven. Artilleriet a decor and interiors store in Gothenburg. Brimming with all my favorite things, I spotted some John Derian, Areaware, new bestie Restart Milano (thanks to Meg and Andrea)  and even some good old South African Wonki Ware in a few of the pics I found via their facebook page. 
Follow their blog, like them on facebook and see more of their glorious store here.

Lucky duck

Got SERIOUSLY spoilt by my Mom who's just come back from an epic month long trip to Paris and Martinique. Thanks Mom!!! Love you and my prezzies soooo much. PS. She kept the contents of the gorgeous orange box.

The shopping junkies

There should be a law against what Phil and I got up to in NY, see more of our escapades on her blog here.

In Province Town

 

 

Have you ever gone on holiday to a fabulous location and arrived only to find that the place you are staying in is thoroughly uncomfortable?  It has small lumpy sofas or an ill equipped kitchen or even worse really bad mattresses. Oh the list goes on but it can severely hamper your chance of a great rest. So this place to me, maybe not to all, looks like a great place to unwind. Not too stuffy, not trying too hard, no one would mind if you put your feet up on the ping pong, kitchen, dining table. It belongs to my favourite John Derian, its his Province Town abode. Once a sea captains home (see right there you have my attention.) Still with most of its 30's wall paper it just looks so relaxed. OK, John if you are reading this I'm open to an invitation, even if its just for dinner.
