Maybe you've seen it? Last friday I was featured on Lindsey's wonderful blog called Lost in Cheeseland. As part of the Franco File Friday series I answered a few questions about my life in France. Although my day-to-day life certainly doesn't consist of (only) sipping wine & munching on cheese, and whilst I sometimes struggle Read article…

Happy Easter Weekend!
Through this quirky couple designed by Anna Sjons Nilsson*, I would like to wish you a very happy Easter weekend! What are you up to? Eating chocolate? Going on an Easter egg hunt? Sharing time with family, friends and pets? *Spotted at the Konsthantverkarna boutique in Stockholm.
Happy Home Blog
Last week the lovely Kathrin from Happy Home Blog posted a little interview with me about our home. You can check it out here, it's both in German and English. Hope you like it :o) Thanks for having me, Kathrin! Read more about our home and renovation in my Vintage Sapique series.
Spring birds
Chirp chirp! I hope these fake birds will encourage the real birds to kickstart spring. Finally! I can't wait for warmer days without coats and scarfs. I spotted these little birds at a small Floral Art Fair in Paris. I was not impressed by the quality of the flower arrangements exhibited but it was a Read article…
2 Daffodil Girls
Actually I was planning on styling some ranunculus for the #2flowergirls project by Elodie and Inga today. But without a nice variety of fresh flowers available nearby, I went for an simpler solution: the first fresh daffodils from our garden. At this time of the year, the forests here in the Oise are covered with Read article…
Orontas cycling supplies
Old world quality and modern thinking, that's what Orontas is all about. I spotted this window display in Stockholm, not far from the wonderful Stutterheim raincoats boutique (which I love). I was intrigued by the clever text: To me, it looked like some kind of sustainable beauty or house cleaning brand. I had no idea Read article…
Tea from a doctor
While I'm enjoying an early morning coffee* at Creative Mornings Paris ( a monthly breakfast lecture series for creative types ), I'd like to show you this herbal tea I got from Giova. She told me she primarily bought these teas because she loved the packaging so much. I'm a sucker for beautiful packaging too. Read article…
An industrial spring
Although it obviously doesn't feel very much like it, it's officially spring. Here in the Oise region a very particular "spring" started as well: Le Printemps de l'Industrie. Through exhibitions, workshops, lectures and company visits we get to discover our region's industrial nature. For example, did you know that the nose of the Airbus A350 Read article…
Sistermail 2
My sister decided to start sending me more snail mail. She told me I should write about it on my blog. So I will! Always listen to your little sister! For Sistermail 2 I received a transparent envelope with puffy red hearts inside. And a freecard by Søstrene Grene, a famous Scandinavian chain store where Read article…
Pantone Emerald or Saint Patrick’s?
Without a doubt this was one of my favorite spaces in Stockholm: the children's workshop at the Arkitekturmuseet. It's bold, it's green and it smells like craft glue and linoleum. What more can you wish for? Besides the supercool lampshades, I really like the chairs with one "ear" (or raised hand?): My first internship ever Read article…
