Cool Prints

I love Notonthehighstreet web shop. I have been a fan for a while and have bought like a zillions things from them. I particulary like these personalised prints made by Rosie Robins. I have made one for my husbands birthday and it is proudly hangged in our lounge. Rosie was lovely when I emailed her and ask if I can customize her print a tiny bit. I made my writing a bit more personal and rimed it into a little poem of Jordan’s favorite stuff.

Here is Jordan’s print hanged in the middle of our feature wall above our green bench:

A new girl in the house

She is a new addition to our household. A week ago we went to Bruges, Belgium and I found this amazing girl in one of their local shops De Ark van Zarren. If you ever find yourself in Bruges, please pay a visit to this lovely vintage inspired place. I am sure you will find a perfect buy.

 

Because the girl is individually handcrafted and given an antique finish, each item is unique. You can find more of them in here.

Colonial Man – from South Africa

 

J. mum has them inside her porch window . I keep passing them for years but  never asked where did she get them from?  Her house is filled with stuff like that, random finds. I guess that’s whom J. gets it from.  So when we went to South Africa this November, I was pleasantly surprised to find them all over the place. In quirky street markets, in shops, on the side of the streets, on the motorways…just  everywhere! What a joy!!! I had to have one! I had to have a few. I satisfied my-self with five in the end! And got the sixth one for Christmas.

Five are in my lounge, three on the window and two next to the telly. I really enjoy looking at them. My own piece of Africa. 🙂
