Monday Moodboard Orangeade

A nice tangy mood this Monday. I was inspired by the Volkswagen Beetle which was my first car, mine was orange too!

21 Days of Yoga and Writing

Bindu Wiles, who I heard about through

Danielle LaPorte, has created a community online project beginning this coming Tuesday, June 8. It's called 21.5.800.

For 21 days, 5 days of yoga per week and 800 words written per day.

The yoga part is taken care of, I do at least an hour a day, every day. Maya Fiennes's video kundalini courses are so addictive that I sometimes do more than an hour .

But I'll have to make an effort for the writing. Aside from product descriptions and lists, I don't have... take the time to write. Count me in, I'll give it a go!

Featured in the Storque!

My owls, made from vintage linen bedding, are featured in an article in the Storque (on etsy) about eco-friendly items, and sellers who use recycled or repurposed materials and eco-friendly processes!

Holiday Monday Moodboard

It's a gorgeous sunny holiday Monday in France, Whit Monday, perhaps where you are too! I've made a moodboard inspired by the European Street Team shops that I return to time and again to browse and to dream because they take me to some other place or time, some enchanted world where, like a holiday, I can take a break and get away from everyday routine.

Monday Moodboard

Some clouds, some sun...that's what the weather has been like here in Lyon, France this month. These lovely selections from the European Street Team on etsy are just perfect to show you what I mean. Perhaps you've been seeing the same type of changing skies where you live?

Button Post

I don't know how to knit, but if I did, I'd put beautiful and original buttons on my scarves, gloves, sweaters, shrugs. Mostly ceramic. My favorite material. With these lovely buttons from uniquebuttons on etsy, I can combine my love for natural history and ceramics. My plan? Change all the buttons on my store-bought sweaters next winter.

Thanks to P8, I'm discovering so many artists who make buttons from all types of materials; check out her blog for more button stories!
