Pure, simple, organic 
- the poetic world of Andrea Brugi.

A whirlwind of a weekend
of seeing friends, 
son's concert
& having family to stay.
(And the husband & I 
snuck out to see a movie
with a rather impressive soundtrack).

Now trying to get my head around
a brand new week -
May Day and all!

The other night I dreamt I was sitting
 on a bench by a canal in Copenhagen at dusk time,
- it was one of those dreams
with an extra special, enticing mood
that you don't quite want to wake up in the morning... 
No definite plans for a Denmark trip right now,
but one thing's for sure -
next time I am SO going to peer
into Oliver Gustav's chalky, concrete-y, 
beautiful world.

I've been at home today, nursing a flu with copious amounts of tea
(brewed in that silver tea pot, 
which used to belong to my English Grandma Ellen
-she's now 97 and going unbelievably strong,
and I miss seeing her.),


 - slowly roasting some rosemary chicken,
(although I had to leave sensing the full flavours
up to my imagination... ),


and a little writing, reading,
and numbing the head watching 
cookery programmes with my girl.



The postman certainly knew how to pick the right day
to deliver an envelope of pure pleasure
(Antler by Kari Herer)
- a craving created by Pinterest
that I had to cave into.


So, bunged up but with happy thoughts,
wishing you every sweet thing for the weekend, x

Details from this home seem to ring a bell 
with elements I'm really drawn to at the moment 
- raw, natural vibes & soft, muted tones
(and a dog!)


(On a total side note,
it seemed that a few years back all I kept seeing were 
Westies and Jack Russells,
now suddenly Pinterest seems to be invaded by Pugs!)

Have a lovely Sunday!

Easy breezy. French country. White delight. 
My heart says mmmm...




(And apparently you can even rent it, ahhh.)

Spring seems to be taking aaaages this year,
and I think a bit of magnolia therapy 
is just what the doctor ordered.
