Catching my eye - Etsy lamps





From the following: 1)Heartkeylogie 2) EarthSeaWarrior  3)Kibster 4) Object of beauty 


A few of the lamps that have caught my eye on Etsy this week... As we're on a budget I'm holding out for my very own thrifting find at the flea markets - not easy as stylish lamps can be pricey - I'm sure there's one of these beauties somewhere with my name on it...in the meantime, I'll keep gathering inspiration.

Growing obsessions... German pottery








In England we lived in a Victorian house and decorated it with Victorian style antiques, plenty of pine and lots of traditional pottery. I thought moving to a modern appartment was going to be really difficult  - I just wasn't tuned in to the style. 

In fact, it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of our move... I've had the chance to rethink my taste and I find that I'm increasingly drawn to mid-century objects and particularly Danish, Finnish and Swedish design. We don't have a huge budget, but we are very fortunate to have a wonderful flea market nearby every month and I just love it - I've been known to visit on both saturday and sunday for my fix.

The latest objects to catch my eye are German pottery... I found several lovely pieces this weekend which I'll post later, but this is undoubtedly one of my favourites.
