My creative space today is mostly about my summershop that I recently opened for the season.
The carriage needed to be reorganized and a lot of cleaning was involved before the funny part - setting up the furniture and decorating with my wares - could begin! I love the sofa, my sweet neighbour Helen gave it to me as she had no use for it any longer, and the shape and duck egg blue colour add a good hint of boudoir to the atmosphere which I really like. Here are some more pictures:
The peeling turquoise dresser looks gorgeous together with my selection of vintage china for sale! I even decorated the space outside the carriage with lots of flowers:
Although setting up the shop for the season took a lot of my time, I managed to get some work done. I made these summery bohemian textile bracelets:
And I needed to make more button rings as they´re almost sold out, so here is a selection of button tops ready to be glued on to the ring base:
While I was sitting in the conservatory busy with crafting my wares, our sweet Norwegian forest cat Frida kept me company, taking a nap between my tins with threads and buttons ;-)
